Yep.
Every single year I've seen reliability data from Consumer Reports for the Model X (as I and others have pointed out before), the X is always in the bottom 10, which puts at it much greater risk than a vehicle w/average or above average reliability.

10 Least Reliable Cars
There are far more than 2 or 3 automotive AC compressor manufacturers.
While digging thru
A/C Compressor finally failed. But $3400??! and
A/C Compressor finally failed. But $3400??!, I discovered Model S had a compressor from HVCC now Hanon Systems, a Korean company. Someone I know who works on cars replaced a compressor on a Hyundai and put up pics. It came from HVCC/Hanon.
A quick search on eBay for Tesla Model X AC compressors turned up ones like this:
2016-2019 TESLA MODEL X AIR CONDITIONING AC COMPRESSOR A/C 1042442-00-D | eBay. If you look at the silver label on the end, it's from Hanon, as well.
If you have a Toyota/Lexus, there's a good chance it AC compressor came from Denso:
DENSO Auto Parts | Products | AC Compressors.
If you have a Nissan, there's a good chance it came from Calsonic:
Calsonic Kansei - Air Conditioners, which Nissan used to own a large stake of. Oddly, Nissan Leafs have compressors from Panasonic from pics I've seen on eBay besides being mentioned by
Nissan Leaf teardown (Part 2): main components disassembled - MarkLines Automotive Industry Portal.
A friend had his daughter's VW Beetle AC fail. He mentioned Denso and
Sanden USA as the two possible suppliers.

Besides the earlier examples of Yugo parts vs. a more expensive vehicles, just sit inside an use the controls and feel the interior bits and seats of a bottom of the barrel Toyota like a Yaris and then compare that to a Lexus LS. You'll see and feel a huge difference.
I've pointed to
USATODAY.com - Carmaker follows 'Toyota Way' before when Toyota decided to start manufacturing Lexuses outside Japan.
One will also notice that at
Warranty and Roadside Assistance Coverage: What You Need to Know | Edmunds, luxury nameplates usually have a year and 10K mile more warranty coverage than an automaker's non-luxury brand (e.g. Nissan vs. Infiniti, Toyota vs. Lexus).
