> Does anyone report on eMMC wearing out in phones

Phones hit bad batteries before anything else and issues related to them get reported fairly often.

> game consoles,

I think Nintendo had a console that hit max firmware updates, instead of breaking it just meant they couldn't interfere with people rooting it anymore. There was much rejoicing.

> What makes Tesla special

An order of magnitude higher price compared to anything else you have listed. Maybe they should try to sell cars for the price of a new smart phone with the goal of selling a new one every two years so nobody would notice these long term issues.
