Alternatively, maybe just like SpaceX has faster development cycle AND greater safety and reliability of rockets, Tesla has faster development cycle AND greater safety and reliability of cars?

Judging by the number of recalls, Tesla doesn't seem to be doing worse than GM, Porsche or Ford.

Their EMMC issue on the S was pretty egregious, that's something you get right in even basic consumer electronics. They also had numerous issues with door handles(I had two fail once the car was outside of warranty).

There's things they do well but I don't know if I'd qualify them as having better reliability.
