"And the Model X made it into consumer reports' list of '10 least reliable cars'."

Looking at that list, honestly I would prefer the Model X to any of the other cars trouble in that list.

Paint and trim can be easily fixed and does not cause a physical safety issue that could possibly kill you.

The climate system is an annoyance, but you could just roll down the window if you need some air. Admittedly it's a PITA if you live in the arctic tundra and the heater doesn't work but again, it's not going to explode sending shards of drive shaft or transmission into the cabin.

Body Hardware is very broad. Things like Side Mirrors, hinges, etc, again all annoyances but still not enough to cause a life threatening situation.

Disclaimer: I used to work for an Automotive transmission manufacturer and personally machined many types of components designated as Critical Safety Items, meaning components that if they failed could possibly result in loss-of-life.
