Cluster A quotes — all models (Sept 2026 research)

Tesla Model 3

• "Super annoyed, I have a 2026 Model Y premium AWD less than 15k miles & I came out to find that the touch screen on my vehicle would not respond, the service center said that they had to replace the entire brain of the car or computer. As well as the main touchscreen... Makes me grateful it's a lease and I didn't buy it cause this ain't right. It's a Fremont build..." — FB, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Owners Club (Sept 2026)
• "I'm so disappointed buying my 1st Tesla. It has been the biggest headache. I've never had so many issues with a car as I've had with a Tesla. It's like they sold me a lemon." — FB, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Owners Club (Sept 2026)
• "Had my M3 for a year, used 2023 and it's the best car I've ever owned incl 2 new BMW's." — FB comment, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Owners Club (Sept 2026)
• "Tesla's gotta make sure everyone knows you bought the cheapest Model Y. The base model still has a glass roof…they simply covered it with a headliner (for free) because keeping the same roof avoids production changes. It also gets non-IR glass, loses the light bars, rear screen, premium audio and Autosteer." — Threads, @aurizn (July 2026)
• "Mine was built in Fremont and have no issues. Every manufacturer will have its occasional defect." — FB comment (Sept 2026)
• "Car built on a Friday." — FB comment, in reply to the touchscreen failure post (Sept 2026)

Tesla Model Y

• "I can no longer support an industry that is rapeing us while recording record profits so today I joined my wife on the dark side. She has enjoyed 4 years and 80,000 trouble free miles with her 2022 Y LR. So far I am enjoying this 2022 model 3 performance with 42,000 miles." — FB, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Owners Club (Sept 2026)
• "I've owned my 2022 Model Y Performance for about 2 years. Last year I noticed pretty bad inner wear on the rear tires... Fast forward to this year, and I noticed the front tires were completely bald on the i[nside]" — FB, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Owners Club (Sept 2026)
• "I love FSD, but how do you go through a drive thru without breaking your streak?" — FB, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Owners Club (133 comments, Sept 2026)
• "We've loved my Model 3 so much that my husband sold his ICE car and we picked up his new Model Y yesterday." — FB, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Owners Club (Sept 2026)
• "We've grown too annoyed with small things in my opinion. Many new combustion cars have engines or trans crater from a failed internal component... Our teslas are rad." — FB comment (Sept 2026)

Ford Mustang Mach-E

• "Why do they just randomly let some get it for half off and others pay full price? Can't justify paying full price when it only works half the time. Not once have I been able to get on the interstate and it work from A to B." — FB, Mustang Mach-E Owners (Sept 2026, re: BlueCruise)
• "I bought a Comma 4 from comma.ai. Way better that blue cruise as it works on every road" — FB comment, Mustang Mach-E Owners (Sept 2026)
• "Blue Cruise is such a rip-off. I'm only gonna use it for the free year they're giving me." — FB comment, Mustang Mach-E Owners (Sept 2026)
• "I have a 2024 leased Mach-e. I have received letters from Ford on recalls and get them fixed. I have two recalls but when I called my dealership (Performance Ford of East Hanover), they claimed there were no recalls on my car. I then went on the ford website to check with my VIN and there are recalls listed." — FB, Mustang Mach-E Owners (Sept 2026)
• "If you don't look back, you bought the wrong car 😍" — Threads, @macheauto (July 2026)
• "I still look back every time I walk-away…" — FB, Mustang Mach-E Owners (127 reacts, Sept 2026)
• "At the current national average of $4.50 per gallon and $0.18/kWh, a Mach-e costs the same per mile as a 69 MPG car. So roughly 2.5X cheaper than the average new [car]." — FB, Mustang Mach-E Owners (Sept 2026)

Nissan Ariya

• "My 2023 Nissan Ariya has experienced at least FIVE recurring safety incidents and repair visits—and it has become disabled without warning, putting me, my children and other motorists at risk. ... Nissan's Arbitration Department told me my only options were another inspection or they would close my case." — Threads, @aconcealaffair (Sept 2026)
• "I'm not one for posting my cars on Social Media as they've never really been special enough for people to care, but ever since I got my Nissan Ariya Nismo last year I do frequently get stopped when i'm out and about by people who compliment the car." — Threads, @theunclegoat (Aug 2026)
• "The charging port is located on the passenger side. ... The software has poor functionality. The navigation system plans charging stops that no longer exist. The infotainment and car have not gotten over-the-air software updates in two years." — YouTube owner video, summarized by greencarscompare.com
• "The car lost power in the middle of the freeway and decelerated... from 65mph all the way to less than 20mph - displaying 'power reduced - 0% battery'; even it was recently fully charged." — carcomplaints.com, 2023 Ariya owner, Cincinnati OH (Nov 2024)
• "I was on the highway and the car completely shut off. My electric battery which was at 50% and over 150 miles died... The dashboard flashed 'EV System Off' and the miles and % battery went to zero. It was incredibly scary since it was at night." — carcomplaints.com, 2023 Ariya owner, San Jose CA (Oct 2024)
• "Many Ariya owners have complained about this from day one: there is no way to limit the charge to 80% either on the vehicle, with the Nissan app, or with the home charger." — ridgelineownersclub.com forum (2025)

Hyundai Ioniq 5

• "My iccu failed twice. Just traded in for a Toyota RAV4 plug in hybrid. I love it." — FB, The Ioniq Guy (Sept 2026)
• "Most cars don't have this issue. But people don't post things like 'still no iccu issues' Yes. I'd buy it again." — FB, The Ioniq Guy (Sept 2026)
• "No. The anxiety of it dying in the middle of nowhere on trips is real." — FB, The Ioniq Guy, answering "would you buy again?" (Sept 2026)
• "Yes I would buy my '23 Limited RWD again. Driving this car is absolutely no different in stress level than driving my old Toyota... my Ioniq 5 had a new IC[CU]" — FB, The Ioniq Guy (Sept 2026)
• "Got in my car this morning after it had been plugged in all night and it was dead. I'm assuming it's the 12V battery. But is it weird that it would have died while the car was plugged in?" — FB, The Ioniq Guy (Sept 2026)
• "By far, it was one of the best cars I have ever driven. My first EV, by the way... Time to say goodbye. The residual lease balance didn't justify keeping it." — FB, The Ioniq Guy (Sept 2026)
• "lagi rame hyundai ioniq 5. review jujur mau 4 tahun. mobil enak, after sales emang sampah 🤣" ("everyone's talking about the Ioniq 5. honest review after almost 4 years: great car, after-sales is trash") — Threads, @mezeltos (Aug 2026, 5,248 likes)
