I had to reboot our 2019 M3 every few weeks for the first year or so that I owned it, then much less frequently as time went on and the software got more refined. I think I've had to reboot our 2022 Model S once in the 18 months that we have had it.
Mind you, Teslas get software updates every few weeks, and the update process culminates with the car rebooting. So that likely clears out a lot of cruft.
