I think the problem is he's a giant douchenozzle ruining free speech and the cars are very poorly designed compared to many other EVs.
they might not be poorly designed, but they are definitely poorly built
I mean so are chrysler dodge but no one trashes them as much, and they have had decades ahead of Tesla to sort it out
who doesnt trash dodge? do you live in a buy-america state?
Ha, no. But worked in Windsor/Detroit auto industry for too long. people there love their Didge/Chrysler products, but they had terrible gap spacings, faulty products right from factory, and terrible repair record with mechanics. The cheap price correlates to the level of quality though
My semi professional opinion ( since I exited automotive right around Tesla's public vehicle launch ) they are rushing to compete in an established market. It takes a long time to dial in quality on the stampings and frame, especially if material vendors change or others uses to ramp up production. They are focusing on production numbers to stay viable as a company. The early model had a comparable front lens design to other competitiors, the rear lens was a cheap get this assmebly done type design. Focus was on the front because everyone looks at the front of car for press pictures etc
