Right? It's remarkable seeing people here defending Tesla while saying "I've only had a few major issues in four years"

I've had a Hyundai for ten years and literally crashed it into a tree and it had no major issues for five years after that (and I gave it away and it ran for another five until it protected someone from a head on collision!). Now I'm on a ten year old Honda and haven't don't anything except regular maintenance.

It's wild to see people saying they have only had a few issues with a car a couple of years old. That's a problem!!

My Subaru is a decade old now.

The air conditioner clutch went after 6 years.

That’s it. That’s the entire list of what I’ve had to do outside of regular fluid changes and basic consumables (e.g., break pads).

Subaru is generally not near the top of the list as far as reliability. And my car should be one of their less reliable models as it’s the turbocharged sports sedan. And it’s had one issue in a decade. A few major issues in four years is lunacy.

Absolutely, I have a 2012 Honda now and I can't remember any major issues. Maybe there was one "issue" like ignition coils or something, but I actually don't think so?

I've the feeling a lot of people trash the car itself and modifying it

Of course it's going to be unreliable
