Same here - I have a 2018 model 3 and its gone in once to get a warning for the seat belt fixed. Its got 45k miles and had no other issues. Best car I've owned.

The best car I ever owned is my current car, a 16 year old Audi that had many prior owners and has nearly 300.000km on the teller. Its never given me trouble and anything you run into you can fix yourself with volkswagen parts. The build quality comes into play sooner than later.

Ah that's good to hear. I have heard some model years of Audi were notorious for reliability, maybe coinciding with the dips in VWAG quality in general, but they are one of the few makers of station wagons selling them in the US anymore and I might seriously consider an A4 or A6 wagon...

I think maybe a lot of their bad rep came from the all road "Air suspension" era...although the simple fix was to install regular shocks/springs.

My other vehicle is a 60s Royal Enfield, which operates at the other end of the reliability spectrum.

Agree, Mine is a Model 3 from May 2018 with 22k. I've only had a couple of small issues, (Infotainment computer would fail to wake back up often and a bad switch on break pedal meant to register a foot but no press) both fixed with no issues. Judging by the serial number on my included diecast mine was close to one of the first 12k produced.

I also have a Model 3 from December 2018. No issues / defects at all.

I have had mobile service for things like rotating tires and installing a rear spoiler.

Better "initial quality" experience than the VW and Subaru vehicles that I've purchased.
