> Tesla is nowhere near a company like Toyota or VW when it comes to even basic vehicle quality standards

Agreed. They're right about the same level as GM (as you mention later in your post). Though it depends on the model, too. The 3 has mostly been ironed out at this point, the Y still struggles a bit with weird build issues.

> Toyota, Honda, BMW, VW

That's a pretty wide range, to be honest, if reliability is the metric. Toyota is very boring and reliable, for sure. Honda is not anywhere near as reliable, they coast on the reputation afforded all the Japanese automakers. BMW and VW are ... well, German. VW in particular is probably not better than Tesla. If I wanted a reliable German car, I'd get a Porsche.
