What you're asking for is a practical impossibility. Every time someone posts a problem, someone will say that it's just 1 example out of many other cars with NO problem. Then someone will say let's see how many problem cars there are, compared to no-problem cars. How in the world can someone compile this statistic? We can't just brush off an issue by saying "oh that's just a single example", it's statistically insignificant. When your car dies on you after 5000 miles, it's not insignificant. When you get a warning that the car is about to shut down, just a few miles from a supercharger stating, when the range meter clearly shows there's more than enough range left to get there, that's not insignificant.
In the end, all we can do is gather info from what we're seeing on this forum, and from friends/aquaintances and form our own opinions.
Or use information from sources that gather info like Consumers Report.
CNBC citing Consumer Reports said:Improved reliability reports from owners of the Model 3 and the Model S were enough to convince Consumer Reports to once again recommend both vehicles as reliable, a designation the organization pulled last year.
Overall, the Tesla brand jumped four spots in the latest Consumer Reports reliability survey, which is based on the reviews from owners of more than 400,000 vehicles. This year, Lexus was rated as the top brand for reliability, followed by Mazda and Toyota.
Tesla still ranks in the bottom third of the 30 auto brands rated by Consumer Reports, which said the Tesla Model X is among the least reliable models in the survey.
Bottom third! That's impressive and speaks volumes.
Consumer Reports puts Tesla back on recommended list as reliability improves
