If you're reading this thinking "wow, a recall! tesla must suck at building cars!" then you probably don't know anything about how the automotive industry works and you should refrain from commenting

3 verified failures out of 173 total cars is an extremely bad rate for the automotive industry.
Sounds like the parent comment probably doesn’t know much about how the auto industry works and should refrain from commenting.
Its not about the recall. Every car manufacturer has many per model. Its about the wheels about to fall off
Stop being mean to the poor car company worth 1.6 trillion dollars, they're doing their best. :(
Even people who know about building cars think Tesla sucks at building cars. Which is why in an interview about speeding up the production line, the head of Volkswagen's production lines thought that a duration that was still almost twice as long as a Tesla spent on the line was about their lower floor and that anything less would be problematic.

Maybe that's why their cars ship with their windshields glued on, all the time, or all of their brake pads, all of the time, or secured body panels, all the time.

Or maybe he should have refrained from commenting?

Do you think these cars are well engineered and reliable?!
