I understand that tesla is trendy, and open about "not having everything figured out", but I get the impression that this is a lot of tesla drivers' first luxury car.

If BMW or Mercedes pulled the things Tesla does at the same cadence, their community would riot.

That's the difference between selling to inexperienced hipsters vs. selling to established CEOs and their lawyers.

Also, BMW is quite openly mocking Tesla's build quality by now, which in my impression worked well for their marketing in the EU.

Oliver Zipse, BMW: "Tesla isn’t quite part of the premium segment. They are growing very strongly via price reductions. We would not do that since you have got to last the distance. Where we differ is our standard on quality and reliability. We have different aspirations on customer satisfaction."

I do like that someone has taken the idea of the Model Y deliver inspection list and made an iOS app. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/inspect-t/id1521758578

Eventually they'll figure it out, this is not rocket science.

According to the video, it looks like this specific problem has been like this for a while and Tesla does not care.

Reliability and QA is the point everyone has been mocking them about for years now, yet the designs remain unchanged.

What are we up to now, 4 years and counting?

Quality control is one of the biggest challenges of rocketry
