Tesla continues to rank above average.

For the first time in 28 years of JD Power’s car owner survey, there is a consecutive year-over-year decline in satisfaction, with most of the ire directed toward in-car infotainment.

    I don’t know who the hell thought that a touch screen only system was reasonable for a motor vehicle, but they can go get fucked.

      It feels like San Francisco’s fault. Apple and tesla-esque design language spreading like a plague because it’s cheap to manufacture and people think it’s trendy.

      I bought a 2023 Subaru outback. Great car, only quibbles are the CVT instead of a traditional Auto or manual for longevity reasons, and most of my controls are on a big old touch screen. The issue is that everything is routed through it, and it lagggggggs.

        I just rolled over 100k miles last week on my CVT. If CVTs are dying young, it isn’t a problem with the CVT, it’s a problem with the manufacturer.

        My civic has a CVT and for the most part its OK. But sometimes when you’re on a highway, and if you have to brake hard… that lag time on hitting the gas again can sometimes feel like forever. And pretty scary.
