Which EVs are "flimsy" and unreliable?
Yeah Tesla's might be put together poorly, but there are so many good options nowadays. Combustion engines are vastly more complicated than electric motors, batteries do complicate things a bit, but industry has gotten phenomenally good at packaging li-ion batteries, or newer chemistries.
