> Ford has the most vehicle recalls of all time, with 3,086 unique recalls. The runner up is Chevrolet, with almost a thousand less at 2,127
Hang on, this isn't really a fair comparison. With how long Ford and Chevrolet have been around, of course they're going to have more recalls than Tesla if we're looking at the total number.
At the same time, it isn't fair to just pick a year interval and compare the two, because Tesla is still a bit of a new product. You'd need to compare it versus the first decade for Ford and Chevrolet. If however we consider Tesla to now be a mature product, taking total recalls from 2020 to present would be valid.
Anyway all of this is pretty pointless. Honda and Toyota remain leagues above all these others. If I want a reliable car with a good track record and solid manufacturing, I'm buying one of those two. It's a shame that Tesla appears to be more comparable to Ford and Chevrolet than to Honda and Toyota.
