RS 5 owner (and a few As). Any time my Audi has been in the shop for more than 2 hours I'm offered or given a loaner. Or they pick up my car, at home, drop off a loaner, and then return mine.
Try that with Tesla. Hey, we can give you Uber credits. Hope they're usable in your area, and you didn't have too much to do.

Tesla had very poor repair times even before the supply chain issues, much worse than other makes.

I don't disbelieve you but would still really like details (how much worse than others?)/a citation here.

Um. Dude. That's a non-randomly sampled anecdote that says nothing about average repair times. It is quite literally worse than useless.

Fair point, but if you check the subreddit there are lots of similar anecdotes and the general sentiment of the commenters is that it is a common issue. I understand it isn't empirical data, but I don't know that that data exists outside of Tesla and I wouldn't really trust any data coming from them.
I waited six months for a brake booster replacement in my Audi SQ5 as it sat in the service center. They did give me a loaner the whole time though...
