average tesla build quality
How is anyone still surprised about things like that? They shipped out cars that used wood, zipties and tape. And that was after everyone complained about how the build quality itself is pretty bad. And that was after people learned that the car is collecting a ton of dirt in their bumpers. And that was after people learned that they just glue neoprene parts into their bodies to at least somehow keep it dry.
I mean given the price, for half a second I considered a Model3 for my partner. But the fact that the Muskrat still owns the company and the notoriously bad build quality were all the reasons I needed to pass on the idea.
