Surprised to see VW below Tesla.
I own a Skoda (VW group) that is extremely reliable. 25 years old almost 500.000Km. Not a single major repair, except for consumables like clutches, timing belts a starter motor, and such. It doesn't burn or leak oil. Refrigerant is changed every few years, but never needs topping up. The car feels solid.
I have heard from owners of newer VW group cars that they are not as solid and reliable nowadays.
It's only the perceived reliability and Tesla owners are still young in the sense that their experience is only few years old whereas you have 100 years of VW experience.
