I think the Tesla has always gotten an unfair amount of negative criticism in my opinion. Yes they have had quality issues, but usually those go down as the production line stabilizes and they usually come out and fix it for you if there’s an issue.

I myself put my Tesla under a microscope trying to find every unsatisfactory item on the delivery day and I did see some uneven panels. But my wife also got a Subaru the same year and I put it under the same kind of scrutiny and it also had similar differences in paneling. Especially under the hood, either the design of parts wasn’t that great or they just put some non standard items to hold things together. It didn’t seem any better than a Tesla (or any cheaper).
