No. Point was that cars do have problems. And we can’t separate out one car mfg from Another. Regardless of price paid. Let’s not forget Gm sold cars with known ignition issues and Toyota with known air bag issues. At least Tesla are jeopardizing human lives as the former two did and probably do.

The price paid matters for the quality of the service. If you’re paying $60k you should expect a loaner or at lest help with a rental. Other brands provide that at that price range. Why doesn’t Tesla? Why is it ok for them to cheap out?
Ford would give me a loaner for regular service for my shelby gt 350. Literally 4-5 hours, and they'd let me ride around in a newer mustang GT or bullit.
Statistics can sort this out. How often do we hear about dead Toyotas vs dead Teslas?
The number you stated has to be divided by units sold, IMHO
