Top spec 2018 Model S P100D. Had rattle over bumps (replaced front air struts), replaced steering column stalks because of erratic operation, replaced a steering wheel button that broke, front end rattle over bumps came back they refused to replace the struts again, cracked piece of wood trim on dash, charge port door problems (replaced), DRL started to burn out needed headlight replaced, one key fob outright failed, charge cable that came with car failed completely, spoiler needed replacement because it "lifted" up, replaced the camera on the left front fender due to errors, etc. I could go on, I'm sure there were more, but that's what I remember off the top of my head. It had only about 20,000km (12K miles) on when I got rid of it too, it was not even high mileage.
Just garbage quality overall. Got tired of needing service a month or two after being "fixed" for something else. 1980's Yugos had less problems.

coulle suspension issues, rattles, window regulator. Owned it maybe one year. Not terrible but annoying and compared to Lexus unacceptable. Plus I watched the forums and other problems people had.

I know right?
peolle who say this aren’t car guys. Engine problems are rare on a gas car these days, it’s all the other crap to worry about like window motors and suspension and electronics
that said after a few years of development I imagine a Lexus EV could be even more reliable than a Lexus gas car of similar design

I consider myself as a heavy driver and been driving non stop to work (even during the pandemic) ever since I bought my car in May 2019. I am about to hit 100 000 KM (62K miles) with also 0 problem so far (I am pretty sharp with my oil changes and services). That is next level driving !
