The metric here is Does the car exhibit problems on an inspection checklist, not is th car reliable. Broken VW are either repaired or scrapped and dont see the light of TUV. VW owners service cars regularly once a year like a clockwork so all the minor ripped rubbers, misaligned headlights, suspension alignment problems, leaking shocks, exhaust leaks, indicator lights etc are routinely tested. Tesla cars dont need _any_ of that. A lot of owners change tires and keep driving until weird smells (cabin filter) or ride harshness (clapped out bushings) starts to really annoy. Its quit common to see Teslas for sale here with untouched suspension and parts grinding metal on metal.

I suspect Toyota might also be a victim of its own reliability. Why would you pay for full service when cars dont break during first 5 years of ownership.
