A worrying trend. Especially considering Tesla seem to take months to fix even basic fender bender problems.

The article discusses the difficulty of servicing a Tesla at length. Perhaps you should read it?
Necessary info because poor media are summarizing this incorrectly as "reliability":> Tesla’s issues are primarily with production and things such as paint imperfections and poor fit of body panels, according to J.D. Powerhttps://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/24/tesla-lags-auto-industry-in-...

Tesla has its problems (between 2019 and 2024 the auto headlights and auto wipers were borderline unusable, now they are merely tolerable, and autopilot is a whole story on it's own), but maintenance is not one of Tesla's issues.Useable, human-readable errors in the app/touch screen (the car self diagnosed it's 12V battery problem and told me to call a tech) and mobile service is just an awesome experience.
Material science lifecycles are measured in decades. Just because you "haven't seen it before" does not mean it can't happen. It means you're not testing well enough, or that your data sample is not good enough. Noone is clairvoyant, and excuses such as "dirt" and "70000 miles" don't make you either. Why automatically attack the victim? Is it not remotely possible, that the fault lies with Tesla?
Why not? Has Tesla had similar incidents?
