Usually, a car's reliability and quality are determined by its manufacturing process—how its QA and other departments conduct tests. Whether they perform thorough testing, gather feedback, and make improvements.

This is an ongoing cycle: test, fix, test, fix—continuously improving quality to the max.

But not all companies do these. Some cut corners and speed up production, prioritizing sales over quality. Their mindset is that as long as the design is good, people will buy.

This is why Toyota is very reliable—they run extensive tests and continuously improve.

It comes down to culture and management. That’s why some cultures produce high-quality cars, while others do not.

ICE drivers don't need that kind of speed. They want the fun of having a certain type of gearbox, handling, engine sound, the fun of driving. Speed is not their priority, but fun driving is, which EV could not offer as of now.
