Tesla window and wiper problems

Owners have filed 647 complaints with NHTSA about the glass, mirrors and wipers on Tesla vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 5 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Tesla Model 3, worst in 2018.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
