Yep, my Tesla is in the shop far more often than my Euro/Japan/US cars have ever been. Last month the entire passenger seat had to be replaced due to an SRS warning.

Perhaps Tesla's poor build quality can keep these folks employed?

That’s like telling kernel developers to go back to tech support jobs. Most of those losing jobs are not assembly workers.

You're right, I hadn't considered that. It takes a lot more skill to build a transmission than a car seat.

I think it's more akin to telling COBOL programmers that everyone has migrated and that their skills aren't needed anymore
