Tesla Model 3 2020 : problèmes, plaintes et rappels

Plus Constant

La NHTSA a reçu 447 plaintes de propriétaires concernant la Tesla Model 3 2020, soit 67,0 par année de circulation — plus de plaintes que la normale pour un véhicule de cet âge (indice de plaintes 1,59, 1,00 étant la moyenne de tous les véhicules suivis). Parmi les 82 véhicules du millésime 2020 que nous suivons, elle se classe 67e pour le moins de plaintes par an. Par rapport aux autres modèles Tesla, son taux est à peu près identique ; par rapport aux autres Véhicules électriques, il est supérieur de 19 %.

Les chiffres sont normalisés par le temps passé sur la route, pas par les ventes : un modèle populaire génère plus de signalements qu'un modèle rare, et les plaintes ne sont pas vérifiées une par une. Notre méthode

Plaintes déposées entre le 2019-12-18 et le 2026-08-17. Délai médian entre l'incident et le dépôt : 5 jours.
