Here are the key points one can have after using some scripts to load the content:

* Tesla Model Y ranked most unreliable among nearly new cars, with 17.3% serious defect rate.

* TÜV report found rising major defects, particularly in electric vehicles like Tesla’s Model 3 and Y.

* European brands, especially Mercedes and Volkswagen, dominated reliability rankings across all age groups.

I have a 2019 Model 3, and it has some paint issues, specifically in the door hinge areas. It had some suspension issues which were repaired in half a day, under warranty. It has an issue where the windshield in front of the self driving cameras gets obscured with some gunk, blocking the cameras (it continues self driving even when half blind). The steering wheel material is falling apart. Other than that, for the past 6 years, it’s turned on every day, driven flawlessly, and cost me exactly $0 in maintenance other than tire replacement - not even brakes needed in 90k miles. No German car I’ve owned has ever come close to that record. I’m skeptical of the review.

Are you sure about that third point? Going to the graph they link, Volkswagen ranks near dead last: https://www.autoblog.com/features/predicted-car-reliability
