Consumer Reports, JD Power, etc all agree with the fact that Teslas are on the low end of reliability.Other than the AC issue, your problems were unfortunate, but not the norm. Most people never issues of that severity. FWIW, our new minivan has suffered from a similar shutdown problem that has never been fixed.
Every time someone posts about a BMW on here, there's a giant pile on about reliability and repair costs, seemingly ignoring the fact that BMWs have ranked highly for reliability for years now. That stigma has stuck with them.
For some reason, Tesla has an unwarranted reputation for reliability when their reliability is actually comparatively poor. There may be no oil changes, but they more than make up for it elsewhere - and that plays out in the actual numbers, not just my anecdote.
