Look at the numbers:

Tesla shipped 139K[1] cars last quarter and 1 roof blew off, nobody died, and now they are unreliable ? Now compare that to existing automakers that have had years more of manufacturing experience, six sigma bullshit, etc and look at the largest recalls[2]. (Ford recalled 7.9 million cars in 1996)

People buy Tesla because they are much more efficient than combustion engines, have superior technology, and a lot more fun to drive .. and maybe it makes you cool to IDK.

I really do not understand why everyone on HN hates tesla so much ...

Same reason people don't like Apple. A low quality product sold by massive advertising/marketing campaigns.

And yes Tesla is unreliable, there's no debate here. A new car company is going to be unreliable. And why are you using Absolute numbers? 1 roof, 7 million Ford cars. You made a statistical error here.

And what is this about combustion engines? It's 2020, everyone sells an EV. Only Tesla sells a low quality EV.

Re Apple: Apple is the most valuable company in the world, what are you talking about?

Re statistics error - what error did I make ?

Re combustion engines, have you tried to do a road trip in a non-tesla EV using charge point. I suggest you try and then report back about how bad the experience is.
