Tesla puts a lot of effort into battery and powertrain reliability but relatively little effort into more visible things such as panel gaps, lights, interior trim, etc.

The panel gap meme is a myth - I've gone through quite a few Tesla's and none of them have had these 'huge' panel gaps that are rumored to exist. Not to mention all of my friends' Tesla cars do not have panel gaps either.

I don't think "huge" gaps was the issue I've seen talked about, it was inconsistent alignment in panel gaps: https://www.motortrend.com/news/2020-tesla-model-y-panel-gap...

I have not seen a single model X where the wing door trim aligns with other panels when closed.

'n = quite a few' doesn't cut it, there is documented widespread panel issues with Teslas, along with other QC issues
