I don't know if any other company but Tesla is basically making everything. Very impressive. I watched a breakdown of their heat pump HVAC unit vs a competitor. Less than half the parts, less than 1/3 of the hoses and connections (aka failure points)

Yes it is very "impressive" when Tesla uses random wooden parts from Home Depot to cobble together their cars. Truly some outside the box engineering talent there.

God forbid, synthetic material from a synthetic and organic materials supply store. Would you feel better if they sourced some synthetic material from 'synthetic bulk shapes unlimited inc'?
But seriously, yes they probably went a bit "just get it done" to shim and strap down that component.
That does not take away from them also doing some crazy engineering on major components that will surely improve the lifetime ownership also.
