Things get dire when US carmakers enter the fray. All but one of the bottom ten brands in the list are American. The best of the worst was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.
That is because everything American has been shit since forever with all the lack rules and regulations, but in the last decade, things really have gone off a cliff

The other interesting tidbit from this:

Not just lack of regulation.
Product quality is sacrificed to sabotage labor power and didcarded for the sake of disposability.
It’s incredible to me that people buy Jeeps or Land Rovers. Neither are inexpensive, both are shit.
Back when Musk was trying to hit production milestones, cars were being assembled in tents with parts made of home depot wood.
Ford is doing similar things with fake parts cobbled quickly on their trucks.
This all works because people spend >$60,000 on vehicles with no research. No one wants these vehicles used.
