Looks like we read different reports. Thats not 221-car sample, thats 221 vehicle models. Models, not cars.

> TUV SUD is a Germany-headquartered company offering testing and certification services. It did 10.2 million times of regular testing on 221 vehicle models between July 2022 and June 2023.

Ok that's my bad I read too fast. Still, I would be interested in the distribution of the models. They may not have but lies via statistical manipulation are so prevalent that I assume it's at least half the answer in most cases.

The rest is still valid. There is such a strong irrational Tesla hate by many that it's hard to take "reports" seriously. I feel it is prevalent in the general public as well.

In fact, I feel the same hate people had for Apple right before and at the start of the iPod era. At that people were saying to me all kind of nonsense because I was using Apple products. Now Apple is most valuable company in the world so I'm laughing my ass off. Even more hilariously, nowadays I believe they are abusing their reputation and unfairly milking people. Careful what you wish for I guess...

Still there is a lot of shit-talk about Tesla and most of it is nonsense. In particular I would ignore most of what come of out of Germany, they are scared shitless and clearly have a lot to gain by damaging Tesla reputation. I wish they would focus on producing better cars at cheaper price (when price matched, current German cars sort of suck compared to rest of the market but they won't let you tell that of course).
