    Survivor bias is a thing.

    Yes, but normally also the fact that only who has problems is vocal about them.

    One car not having issues doesn’t mean all or majority of them don’t.

    True, but also does not means that the majority of them had problems.

    For a 60k$ car it has to be perfect, not just “not having issues” because in ICE world that amount of money buys you some seriously good car.

    Good luck with this.

        My ICE car (same price range of the Tesla 3 and Y) had so many issues that make me consider to change it more than a couple of times, so maybe you at least need to not be unlucky.

        What I agree with you is that, normally, a 60k $ car from an well-established brand is way less prone to have quality issues than a car in the same prince range from a brand that 20 years ago did not even exist but I am sure enough that if we look at the same number of 60k $ cars from other brand with the same thoroughness we use to find defects in a Tesla, we probably will end up with roughly the same number of defects.
