Which years to avoid
- 2018 (2017–2018): Early-build panel and paint quality, plus aging original batteries now — get a battery health report.
What to check before you pay
- Battery degradation: verify with a 100% charge range reading versus original EPA spec
- 2018–2019 builds: panel alignment, paint thinness, and trim issues — inspect in good light
- Front suspension fore links and upper control arms: clunks and creaks over bumps
