'Auto Trends' Revisits Tesla's Bumpy Racial History With Its Black Workforce (Two Shows)

In 2021, Tesla was winning the electric car race in terms of sales and record setting stock prices. Almost four years later, Tesla has been on a rollercoaster ride. While Tesla is still number one in the U.S. electric car market, both sales and stocks have tumbled. Some of the sales fallout is attributed to more electric vehicle competition in the market, while the lion's share of the luxury brand's ills have been driven by CEO's Elon Musk's new role as what many see as co-President of the United States of America. 

The Korean Brands Take Top Billing Again For Highest Quality In JD Power 2019 New Car Study

The all-new Genesis G70 is one of the top models in terms of quality for the 2019 model year.

Earlier this week, the quality gurus from J.D. Power released their annual ranking of top new models and brands based on the first 90 days of ownership. The survey was based on surveying owners who purchased brand new 2019 models. 

For the second consecutive year, the Korean brands grabbed the top three spots. Genesis, which is the most recent luxury brand to hit the streets, competes head on with such established makes as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Lexus. Genesis garnered the number one spot, as a brand, for the 2019 model year. Some critics might say that its a low-volume brand, with only three models in its portfolio, and they have no reason to have shoddy quality.
