"The original poster of the thread had reportedly spent more than ten hours disassembling their Model Y to correct poor panel fitment when they came across a large chunk of metal secured with green tape and a small strap."

Bad quality followed up by bad quality.

When I benchmarked Tesla years ago, the exterior(and interior) panels were awful in their Autoshow build. I'm genuinely surprised they haven't fixed it yet.

I gave them a pass at the time because everything was new and in low runs. Now with 500k/yr, there's really no excuse.

Tesla is the Apple of Automotive.
