> Tesla's reliability scores have always been pure and utter trash.

Linked article is literally reliability score that puts them dead center in the middle of the pack.

I'm amazed at the investment people have on arguments about Tesla, and this particular canard especially. I mean, they're cars? Sometimes they break? But not often? Some other brands are better. But some are worse!

It's a boring story about boring facts. Why is it so important to you (and so many other people) that this be a hyperbolic affront to all humanity and not just... a car company?



> This is the best result they have ever had. If this is the best they've ever had for a report it means that all the other reports were worse.


Or... that they're improving rapidly and we should celebrate that? Does that spin not work for you?

Look, again: they make cars. Cars are complicated devices and sometimes break. There's some, but not a lot, of variation between individual manufacturers in the frequency with which they break. And that's not very interesting, and doesn't justify the kind of outrage I'm seeing in threads like this.

Whatever has you guys all puffed up about this, it's not genuine concern for poor Tesla owners who spend 15% more time in the shop, or whatever.
