2024 TESLA MODEL S
This model year
What the record shows
The 2024 Tesla Model S is a large car, and the 13th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2012 to 2026.
The EPA rated one configuration: all-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (A1) and running on electricity.
Combined fuel economy is 122 mpg.
The federal record holds 38 owner complaints, 6 safety recalls and 40 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
