> low reliability, low build quality

These are improving at an astonishing rate, like a Web app rather than a car. Yes, this means the first ones were so bad they really shouldn’t have been shipped. But the newer models (of Y especially, X hasn’t been redesigned) are really a different world.

Hot tip, ship fast and break things doesn't work when you're talking about putting out a 2 ton, gigantic battery out in the world that is expected to last for over 20 years. This is a gigantic waste. Any other company would have been crucified for putting out such a shit car, and the only reason Tesla survived it is because they had funny meme man to do damage control.

You are wrong. Clearly it worked because Tesla is now a highly valued company that produces hundreds of thousands of cars annually.

People put up with the low build quality because at the time Tesla had a unique product not because of some memes.

Doesn’t work in what way
