There are two numbers at play here: the frequency of production mistakes, and the percentage of mistakes that get caught and reworked.
The high rework rate could be because they catch a lot of mistakes. That would clearly be a good thing. But given what we actually observe from their cars it seems more likely that they catch mistakes with an average success rate but produce more mistakes than normal. That means both more rework, and lower quality because of all the uncaught mistakes.
