I mean this is like comment and comment reply number three of the same pattern: "I have Tesla Model 3|Y and it's doing well" --> "sample size of 1 mreh".
Reviews tend to skew negative. Where are all the angry Tesla owners here? (Seriously. I want to hear from angry HN readers about bad 3|Y ownership experience.)
I have a Y and an S (Palladium) and the Y is solid (only service for usual EV wear items) but the S has been... a "luxury" vehicle let's say that. I'd imagine some of the issues it had in its history wouldn't pass German TUV, but I got the things I noticed fixed under warranty.
I'm really curious how the newer vehicles do. It's a bit of a running joke "the new ones will be better!" but I really do see the improvement in my 2023 Y versus the 2020 3 I had. The S falls somewhere in between in a way that makes sense given its price point and year.

A sample size of 3 happy users, even with review bias, is still way too small to refute a supposed defect rate of 17%.
And I bet that comments on HN are going to be less affected by negative review bias than actual reviews.
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
