I understand that quality control, including fit and finish, has been steadily improving.
An electric car such as the Model S has some intrinsic advantages over ICE cars in reliability in that the drive system is small and relatively uncomplicated. I think there is likely some bias in the perception of Tesla's reliability in that there is a great deal of attention on the company so problems, no matter how small, are more likely to be reported and commented upon than with more established car makers.
There are a few specific examples that I'm aware of. For example the Model S pop-out door handle was redesigned and has been steadily replaced, and the Model X doors had no end of problems until they apparently sorted them out.
