Trim quality, gaps? That's very old news and hasn't been true for almost a year.

(I know 2 dozen people with 3s purchased in the last 8 months and none of them have had any quality issues)

My Model 3 was purchased the last week in October and has severely uneven fittings and gaps that are getting worse with time. I think the whole gap thing is generally myopic and stupid but this is really remarkable.
I wouldn't call it myopic when a base Toyota Corolla has less squeaks, rattles and fitment issues than Tesla Model 3's and S/X's
As much as I am a Tesla fan, I have to call spade a spade. I know two people in the last couple of months who bought a Tesla, and I noticed misalignments on both of them.

What's the population size of people who you know who purchased any car in the last 8 months?

Yep. Look at look at a side-by-side comparison a Model 3 from about a year ago (Premium Interior) vs. today (Partial Premium Interior). In the first few frames, there's a notable improvement in the body tolerances around the frunk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSIC6zvQy5Y
