How ICE Makers Survive When...

[CarlK]

What is that supposed to show? Obviously a car that has sold in the millions receives more complaints (which are, BTW, safety complaints in this case that have nothing to do with reliability or maintenance). Perhaps take a look at actual reliability surveys to see where Tesla stands:

Here Are The Most- And Least-Reliable Rides On The Road For 2019

Fanboy cheerleading won't improve anything.

C'mon 10 recalls mean nothing to you?

As for the Consumer Reports rating it also said Tesla had more reported issus because it's the only car company that do OTA update. You got a lot more chance to have new growing pains when your old car is updated every year. The same magazine also said Model 3 is the most satisfying car and Model S the fifth from the same survey. Looks I'm not the only cheerleading fanboy, which is actually a good thing even if you want to imply otherwise.

On that Toyota had been reliable largely because it kept producing the same thing year after year. Current 4th gen Lexus RX, for example, is pretty much the same design as the first one made two decades ago and with the same engine. Germans used to make reliable cars but in the early 2000's they were forced to go with new electronic engine control systems for emission and performance reasons to be ahead of the Japanese. The result was a huge disaster in terms of reliability. Don't hold your breath on reliability when the Japanese and Germans start to be innovative like Tesla, that is if they ever could.
