The average person won't accept crappy build quality that some Tesla models get delivered with. They get savaged on JD Power surveys.
This is not true any longer. It's a misconception stemming from early production runs of a new model, or going further back, Tesla's early days when it was still learning how to mass manufacture cars. Even then, this quality issues were related to superficial items, not the core hardware or systems. That JD Power survey was not what you think it was.
I guess we will agree to disagree. I saw someone pointing out external fit issues in the last two months: door gaps, loose body panels, water leaks.
Look at some of the videos of new civics and mismatched paint on body panels, body gaps, etc. It happens. I've been shopping for Teslaas for a few months now, and I'm not actually seeing the issues I expected from looking at YouTube videos. I do see the "soft paint" thing, but that's not a bad thing, just tradeoffs.
