I could be wrong, and if I am I hope the moderators will rapidly correct me. But it seems to me that most of the issues we are discussing on this forum are - as best we can tell as mere users - software issues, not hardware issues.
Personally, on my own car, I can't name a single major hardware issue. OK, maybe a minor fit-and-finish issue, but nothing more substantial than the annoying little button on the steering wheel. The core hardware seems to performing very well.
The items that I have been most discussed (in my unscientific review of posts) are generally software issues, including:
And, as a slightly provocative observation: Peter Tomlinson seems to be highly enamored of the hardware bits. For example, his video about the Lucid motor design went pretty overboard about how compact the motor was. And the video on the charging system was likewise very hardware oriented. But I haven't heard similar discussions of the importance of software. So maybe Peter's leadership bias is why we are seeing really good hardware and not-yet-great software?

- Questions about range prediction
- Concerns about the reliability and stability of charging at EA
- UI issues
- Reset/reboot concerns
- Self-driving concerns or observations
- Camera issues
- AC concerns
