The best EV thing comes from the fact that they are best in drive train, efficiency and battery tech.

They don't necessarily build the best cars.

As a tesla owner I'd say they are better bult than most American cars, on par with German but behind the Japanese.

Five years ago I would have agreed that they don't have quality cars (even though they were still the best EV). I was refusing to go near them for several years after test driving a "classic" model S with rattles and squeaks and all that, but at least in my own car (2019, model X "raven") these kind of things are non-existent.

Edit: On topic, I also think that the stock is crazy high.

What do you think about the problems some are having with panels coming off?

Yea the stock is insane, it'll be interesting to see where it goes.

I have yet to see any panels come off or heard of any with such issues in real life, I think that must be a very tiny minority if so.

Where I work (in Norway) about 10% of the employees have teslas and there are not more issues than most fossils except for the Toyotas perhaps :)
