Normally I'd be the first to beat up on Tesla for not actually knowing how to really design or build a car (they don't) - but in this case, its not as if they're the first auto manufacturer with a similar problem.
(To be clear, my issues with Tesla is that they do not have the internal manufacturing expertise - or the design expertise for automobiles, and this shows thru parts availability, several recalls, and their slow pace of production - you can't design components with the same tolerances you'd build a MacBook Pro with, and use them on a car, and expect it to work well for manufacturing at scale)
