Well, manufacturers won't share dealer maintenance data. So, owner data is what they have to work with.

In the commercial airplane industry, airlines that are top tier customers, agree to report back to the manufacturer certain maintenance and reliability data. It helps both the customer and manufacturer in that industry, because reliability data is what is used to determine maintenance intervals that get approved by the feds, and to determine when it's economically the right maintenance interval or a redesign of a component is needed. So, customer reported data is extremely important. Albeit more controlled customer reported data.

There is a huge difference in the customer base though.

Then you have crap like this.

“For those looking to spend under 10 grand, CR recommends the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze, saying the fuel-efficient sedan "shined for its comfortable ride, relatively roomy interior and effortless power from a turbocharged four-cylinder."”

The Chevy Cruze can be relied on for exactly one thing, that it is going to keep leaking coolant no matter how many times you fix it.

In case you’re wondering about their “data”. They don’t hide the lack of seriousness. Toyota’s marketing for reliability is very powerful.

There are a few categories where the 4xe would excel, but that ugly AF Cybertruck is stupidly fast. And the 4xe doesn't stand a chance in the carrot-cutting category.

my jeep is leaking coolant from at least two places right now. (it’s already been fixed once) should still be under warranty though!

all 3k must be near me. i see those things everywhere

In April when they had to do a recall on all models delivered it was 3878, so at this point its probably higher but cant be more than 10k on the road in the whole country.

In June they supposedly reached a then-peak production of 1,300 per week so slowly ramping up.

Def see more Cybertrucks now than i did Broncos when they first came out.
