We've updated our reliability stats for the Model S to include owner experiences through June 30, 2014 (making them about 14 months ahead of some others).
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2012-2013 Model S: 113, high
We've updated our reliability stats for the Model S to include owner experiences through the end of 2015, about eight months ahead of other sources. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year--lower is better:
2015 Model S: 56, high
2014 Model S: 52, moderate, small sample size
2013 Model S: 54, moderate
We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop:
2013 Model S: 58, < 1
These stats have been improving, and are much better than earlier. A reminder: anything done to fix a problem should be reported.
For the repairs behind these stats, reliability information on other models, and to sign up to help improve this information--especially need more 2014s and 2016s:

That's quite the improvement from off the charts issues in the early years to a moderate score. It still isn't Prius reliability levels but it's sure going the right direction.
