I can't tell you how many videos I've seen of fires breaking out in Lamborghini engine compartments. And just google the history of BMW M3 engine problems.
I have mine for four weeks and is now on a second round of service issues, first a rear seat issue and now a rear drive unit. Not feeling confident about being an early adopter on this one.
I should have added my commiseration with what you're going through on this. Our Gravity has been in the shop for over a week after having already had two mobile service visits. It's not a pleasant experience, especially with a car we looked forward to with so much excitement.
All that keeps it tolerable is the hope that when all the early-production issues are resolved in our cars, we'll end up with the best SUV on the planet, which was the outcome with our early-production Air after considerably aggravation early on but now, after almost four years, remains the best sedan I've ever owned.
That, is an absolutely OUTSTANDING point. We are putting a lot of stress on these systems. ICE or EV, you are bound to have certain failures be more prolific just due to this.
I’ve got 42k miles on my Air GT and still have original drive motors so they’re capable of being reliable. Of course most of the rest of my car has been replaced but ignore that part
Many years ago my boss bought his daughter a brand new Pontiac Fiero. A week later she was driving down Route 7 in Vermont when the transmission fell out of the car and landed on the pavement.
