I've had more error lights on this car then I've had rest of my life combined. They all go away eventually without a dealer visit, but it's just so stupid and frustrating. otherwise great car.

ive had all of these errors multiple times:
driving assistance error - speed limit warning error - active lane keep error - error error error (happened about 5-10 times)
TPMS error - says new tires detected, and cannot get tire pressure info, eventually goes away (happened 3 time)
plug and charge error - I would say Electrify America is prob partly to blame (happens 30% of the time I try to charge)
headlight error - (happened twice)
stereo has no sound, when adjusting volume there is no volume indicator and stereo is just dead. no CarPlay sounds, no navigation sounds, and when I press the voice assistant, nothing happens. (happened twice, eventually went away)

All these errors happened separately, and all went away on their own eventually, but it is just beyond frustrating. Do I bring it into a dealer? Do I keep driving? Best car I've ever had, when it's working. Most unreliable car I've ever had, and I've had nothing but German cars.
Good way to sum it up.

My problem with these errors is they go away and you can drive to your dealer and show them pictures - that's it. When they connect the car to a computer a bunch of them are logged but in this particular moment everything is fine and is working. However when I travel and see "fast DC charging not working" or some other serious issue I get anxious how will I get back home if this persists. It adds to the profound feeling this car is unreliable.

For some, if not majority, the car works flawless so not buying into software issues alone as this would affect all cars. Seems more likely hardware related problems. With each car component not necessarily sourced from same external manufacturer, components possibly not build to same specs or fault tolerance. Seems they are updating software just to patch up hardware related errors as they come along. In summary, poor quality control. Reminds me of VW Lopez disaster in the 90s.
