I see this all the time but then if you want to buy a new Tesla you have to wait a year. And that is due to demand.
The consumer reports reliability thing just seems like a meme at this point that doesn’t ring true for most people either in importance or reality. I can’t quite put my finger on why this meme is wrong but my intuition says it is.

Have bought several Teslas over the last 3 years (S->X->Y). Quality improves each time I’ve bought one. Lots to complain about, still wouldn’t buy from another manufacturer.

This pattern is more of the norm than not for expensive high-tech cars. Rich people like nice stuff and are willing to pay maintenance and repair bills.

#17It doesn't seem like the rear view camera problem is that much of a safety issue, thoughts? The front trunk flying open while driving seems highly undesirable though.
Rear view cameras are a required safety feature in the US now. As SUVs proliferated and pillars got thicker for crash safety cases of parents running over their toddlers increased.

I had a hood come open on a car I was driving once. It was definitely some scary shit. Luckily, I was on a long, straight road, and was able to decelerate in a controlled way and pull off the side of the road.
Re: Tesla recalls nearly half a million Model 3 and Model S cars
#19Just a reminder that cars are recalled all the time and the only reason you are seeing this article is because it is Tesla. Any other manufacturer and this would be a non-story especially on HN.
Did Ford recalling 185k vehicles a couple days ago make the front page of HN?
How about Toyota recalling 200k vehicles also a couple days ago?[2]
Maybe Honda recalling 725k vehicles a month ago?[3]
EDIT: Lots of people are taking this as a defense of Tesla. That isn't my intention here. I am providing context to this issue. Someone who isn't familiar with the frequency that cars are voluntarily recalled is going to conclude that this is a bigger deal than if viewed in the context of the auto industry as a whole.

You’re right, but it can still be fixed after the problem happens
