When was the last time you went and looked? Build quality has improved substantially since first Model 3 deliveries.

Just saw a 2020 top spec model 3 that still has a few misaligned gaps and bunching seals in the doors. The leather around the back where it was punched out is creased. It's a great car, but the for and finish sadly still has a ways to go.

Yea, Tesla is selling cars sight unseen which makes minor cosmetic issues a very low priority for them. It says less about build quality than their sales model.
Personally I doubt most customers notice or care, but itβs an obvious thing to criticize.

Here in Brazil for quite a few years it's been standard to not see a new car for days to weeks after buying it, even on traditional brick-and-mortar dealers where you can test-drive a different car of the same model before buying yours. I don't know about the luxury market.
