Earlier quoted context omitted.

N=1, but many of my other friends also have Teslas and their experiences are similar.

I have a similar experience and also a recent German car with more problems than the Tesla.

I never had any problem with any car

Had my Model Y for 4 years with no issue! Funny enough, my 2007 BMW had so many issues and cost so much to maintain i used to call it a “wallet burning machine”

"Big Money Waster" is what we used to call them. They are notorious for electronic faults in particular. They're just very complicated, which electric cars aren't.

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.

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

I think the TUV is mostly about safety equipment (light, breaks) that don't pass the two year check (they probably also test the alignment and other stuff), and your link might be about engine/transmission/power train defects.

My friend and I have started tinkering on our cars together.

He’s got an early 90s 525i BMW and I’ve got a 2000 SR5 Toyota 4Runner.

The engineering of my Toyota is so much simpler and easier to work on than his BMW. But his BMW has given us a lot more practice, if you know what I mean ^_^

I have to laugh at the absurdity of a German company evaluating quality and reliability of vehicles.

American cars, such as Tesla, have a MUCH worse reliability record than German.

So your 19 year old car has more trouble than your 4 year old car? Weird.
