Shake Shack serves delicious food. No one with a reasonable understanding would visit expecting healthy food. Before criticizing them, try launching a burger joint in the highly competitive US market of 2023 and see if you can achieve the same growth as Shake Shack. It's a bit harder than creating a CRUD app.

See, you lost me there already.

Point is, even if you like it, it is still crappy food. It is just another example of how a product that is objectively bad for its customers, can succeed in the market.

Tesla quality control is quantitatively worse than of more traditional brands like Honda. Finishes in Tesla cars are also quite a bit worse than other cars in the same category.

I’m glad that you are enjoying your Tesla, but reality is what it is.

comparing tesla to shake shack (even via growth) is not a good comparison because taste is 100% subjective, build quality is not subjective.

im not saying that tesla doesnt have some issues with quality control, but most people get nice cars that work fine and look fine. you only hear about the outliers .

> but most people get nice cars that work fine and look fine. you only hear about the outliers

I'm pretty confident that Consumer Reports and J.D. Power account for more than just outliers.
