I agree. It is very clear that Tesla puts more effort into the software, electric motors, and battery tech compared to the "rest of the car".

While there are some fine details (like the suspension) that others pointed out, the body panel gaps and the unusual service experience leave a lot to be desired for some people. Now whether these issues go unaddressed due to Tesla not having the proper resources or due to a conflict in priorities, either reason makes you wonder why Tesla is choosing to do it this way...

I completely agree with the fact that Tesla is, at least IMHO, a software company first but on the body panel gaps I really think is a non-issue.

I mean, it obviously is something that has to be improved but, for example, I’ve seen panel gaps with a 85k € new Audi Q5 MY18.

It definitely wasn't an isolated issue since I’ve seen the same thing on at least other two same models around town but no one online or any media is shouting right and left about it...
