there are several examples, by late page 4 it gets interesting.
It seems electric motor coolant and electric motors / electronics don't make a good combination. I never learned that is any of my EE classes [/sarcasam]
There was a whole class of tesla motors that were shit:

Early Tesla Model S motors have had reliability issues. Now, a new analysis of data provided to Plug-In America by 327 owners of early Tesla Model S cars suggests that as many as two-thirds of those early Model S drivetrains will need to be replaced within 60,000 miles.
There are plenty of other examples, though I'm sure you didn't look.
Here is an interesting headline:
Dragged down by Tesla, EVs least reliable cars on British roads

Choosing one model of electric motor to represent the entire future of the segment is disingenuous. You should know that these electric motors on the whole be far more reliable than complex turbocharged GDI engines. Any argument to the contrary is just bullshit. Tesla may have a bad design on some versions, sure. Let's do the comparison to N54 or N63 then. Several examples? There are like hundred+ page threads of dead BMW S85 and S65 engines.
I also question these sources. I know 3 people with early Tesla Model S over 80k miles and none of them have had any drivetrain issues. There is no way 2/3rds of them require motor replacement after 60k. That was a 2015 article, how about following up in the real world?
Like everything else you post in this section, it's misleading and totally disingenuous.
BTW, that thread also shows a few guys rebuilding them which you said was impossible a little while back.
