Tesla fan-boy's response: "Wow, this is so cool, your Tesla messaged you over the air to get service. And dispatched a tow-truck on top. Tesla rocks!"
Everyone else: "WTF - your $50+K car left you stranded after only 5K miles on the odometer! And no loaner on top. Tesla sucks!"

It's hard to top a Fiat product for crappiness. The only thing as surprising as FCA staying in business, is PSA considering a merge with them.On the plus side. It has ways to go to surpass their Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

This is compounded by it happening to a car mag. That had it happen to their S.
But the audience for that magazine is not exactly a core Tesla market today. Or maybe it is... I read it all the time as a kid, and I am a car nut.
But C&D's 3 is not early.Every brand has issues with early failure units. It's part of a normal distribution. Shitty that they got a dud, but someone was bound to get it.

Their lease began it seems in Oct 2019 (Our Tesla Model 3 Long-Term Test Begins). The first "production" Model 3's that were delivered to employees happened at end of July 2017.
1st model year of Prius c, a brand new model got Consumer Reports says Prius C most reliable 2012 vehicle, despite CR not liking the car and not recommending it (didn't do well on their road tests).
...with merely 5286 miles on the odometer.
Anything mechanical is prone to breakdown at any point in time. Although, unfortunate that this breakdown occurred so early, at least the software in the Tesla is sophisticated enough to alert of a breakdown such as this and the road service was responsive. According to the article, it’s an issue with the rear drive unit, pyro fuse, and 12V battery. I’m sure Tesla will resolve it expeditiously.
But, but Tesla vehicles are so reliable and maintenance free. Lol.
I'm not talking about a car magazine documenting their experience. I'm talking about the total cars out there that have defects. In this case, it's just bad luck that it's a car magazine that experienced the problem. Cars are physical items made up of many other physical items. Sometimes, there are just defects. Extrapolating a single incident - especially because it happened to get completely documented by a magazine - into a bigger issue is the absolute definition of an anecdote. Unless someone is arguing there's a systemic problem with Model 3s.
