Pretty sure that SpaceX is focused on reliability. One of the analogy that Elon Musk used is comparing a Honda Civic versus a Ferrari, asking which is more reliable.

Historically, rockets are focused on performance, not cost.

SpaceX's focus on producing cheaper rocket and launching more of them will yield more reliability. You make more of them, you make more mistakes, more opportunities to correct them.

Eventually you'll have a system for making very reliable rockets.
