It’s the taking out lidar, taking out ultra sonic sensors and scamming people with FSD.

...silently replacing the CPO program with a used program and shipping out cars with toenail clippings, launching AP2 with less reliability than AP1 because Mobileye fired them as a customer, shipping non-automotive grade screens that started leaking in cars...
Yeah there's a laundry list but in my experience the people who comment like what I replied to will have excuses for all that
The only technique that ever gets some semblance of acceptance is using Tesla's own claims as proof (since everything else is an anti-Elon conspiracy theory)
Many of the sensors in a $200,000 Maybach and a $20,000 Civic all come from the same battle tested catalogues from a few companies (like Bosch, Continental, etc.)
Tesla prides themselves on replacing those battle tested components with in-house alternatives with no where near the widespread applications or history to shake out bugs in order to save themselves some money.
I'm not sure why people think the EV part is what makes Tesla's margins when we've commoditized ICEs to the moon and back: it's the making a cheaper car part that does. You don't get to do that for free.
