Yet it still sells vaporware. I was really excited for this company, but the self driving promises and fails, in addition to build quality issues made it a no go for me. While I buy new/unproven tech all the time, I guess I draw the line at cars.
> Tesla Model Y was the highest, with 62.4 recalls projected over its 30-year lifetime

It appears that the Tesla recalls include things like https://repairpal.com/recall/22V063000
Those get fixed over the air. Can't say I'd care that much if I owned a Tesla. The number doesn't matter that much.
And the latter already shows in data published by the German TÜV (cars here get an official road safety check every two years, the results of which are being aggregated by brand and model and published regularly): Teslas are among the cars with the highest failure rates for cars older then three years.
This honestly sounds like the conversations I'd have with people about the iPhone. Somehow it was the worst thing ever made but everyone who had a lot of money was buying one. When I eventually got around to getting it, it was awesome.
This is decidedly not a problem of the entertainment system. And all those recalls Tesla has, hint at some engineering deficiencies. Same for all other brands and cars with similar problems, which absolutely do exist. E.g. VW quality is in decline for decades by now.
Citation badly needed, because the evidence is against you.
I bought a Model X three years ago. It's been in service more than 10 times. My neighbor bought a Model X this year. I asked him what was broken on it, and he laughed and said "Everything".
