I don't doubt your reports, and am not at all surprised that owners of something as avant-garde as Tesla cars are very enthusiastic about being pioneers. But, the attempt at equivalency above is exactly the "whataboutism" fallacy. Yes, all other manufacturers build vehicles with problems; no manufacturer has a zero defect record. But, no, all others do not fail at the rate or in the basic simplicity of Tesla failures, e.g. bumpers falling off in the rain, sunroof blowing off, body panels that don't fit, last-minute wood parts to support powertrain parts, not to mention the more complex failures of chips over-writing themselves to death and vehicle standstill, etc., etc., etc.
EDIT: No sooner had I finished this post than my cousin in Santa Monica who bought and sold his Model 3 in one year (it couldn't come close to the claimed or displayed available range, he told me) sent me this link. Apparently, the "ready, fire, aim" corporate culture affects other divisions. I hope Space X continues to do as well as it has been.
