AFAIK they lump everything from "I don't like the color of this AC control knob" to "sudden and unpredictable catastrophic engine failure" into this category.

Which may be problematic, but it's not like (as some here imply) that Tesla is being treated any differently to any other manufacturer.
If the headline said "Tesla vehicles have most complaints" it would be more accurate, reliability is a strange choice of words. The study is called "Initial Quality Study" and the axis label on the graph is "Problems per 100 vehicles."
To be clear, there, though - the word reliability is used by The Sunday Times, not by the survey.

Though you could argue that "I can rely on my vehicle to have a consistently high initial quality, coming from Manufacturer X" is consistent.
