I have a Lexus LX, one of the most expensive Lexus vehicles ever made. I love it. It was made in Japan.
Tesla panel gaps and quality are fine. They had some early issues, but the damn things are basically body panels hung off of almost entirely cast chunks of metal. There is not a lot of room for wiggle. If anything, they're so we'll integrated that they're hard to repair after a crash.

Correct. They've become significantly cheaper to run, and their lifetime costs are vastly more affordable.
In the 1960's, getting a car to 100,000 miles was an achievement; now, the car is just getting broken in.

If anything, such an extensive system should have better controls than a small business. Given that, there are trillions of dollars flowing around of other people's money.

Aren't they taking away the 'command' part of the government? No government, no command.

The Kelly Kettle was produced in Ireland decades before. The Thermette is a knockoff.
