Volkswagens get serviced frequently.
Teslas never get serviced, and they don't really use their brakes either due to regenerative braking, so stuff like "rust on brakes" counts as a strike against their "reliability" in this study even though it's harmless.
In reality, owning a Tesla is way more painless than owning a VW.
Rust on breaks can be an issue in emergency breaking. Most modern EVs normally use the break intermittently during normal operations to prevent rust from building up over time.
