Mercedes recalled tens of thousands of cars this year for sunroofs that could blow off: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/mercedes-benz-recalls-cars-for-sunroofs-that-could-detach/ https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/mercedes...
I think the fact that you didn't hear about this recall, to the point of not even believing such a thing could happen, while you did hear about this one case of one Tesla roof blowing off, illustrates the point nicely.
Edit: Someone else pointed out that Corvettes were also recalled for roofs flying off: https://www.corvetteblogger.com/2009/12/28/gm-issues-recall-for-200507-corvettes-for-faulty-roof/ https://www.corvetteblogger.com/2009/12/28/gm-issues-recall-...
