My Model 3 has had:

- charge port needing replaced shortly after I bought: mobile service

- front and rear suspension forks replaced: 2 trips to service center (common according to them)

- rear light needed replacing (mobile service)

4 years old.

Still not as bad as our last car (diesel VW Sharan), but Teslas have plenty of defects that can’t be fixed OTA.

Sure, but "recall" in the automotive market has a very precise meaning, and refers to safety issues (at production line level, so impacting many VINs)that needs to be fixed. In Tesla's case, unlike most of other vendors, generally these recalls can be fixed with an OTA update.

The CT OTOH had many "classical" physical recalls due to hardware issues.
