^^^So, still no comment on their atrocious build quality?
I don't excuse poor workmanship, and agree it's ridiculous, scandalous even that a roof flew off a SINGLE new car.
Whereas our Tesla is superior in build quality than any vehicle we've ever owned.
7.5 years later the car doesn't squeak rattle or make any noise (except under heavy cornering

)
The interior, exterior and chassis is sparkling (mostly aluminum so no rust) clean and shows only normal wear.
The drive train is amazing, still gets 95% original range and accelerates like my old Z28, even after 7.5 years with NO tuning and NO maintenance (oil or anything else).
You mistake a few bad apples for the entire tree. Tesla has the highest owner satisfaction, if all of their cars left the lot and blew a tire or the roof came off, they wouldn't be selling 140000 of them every 3 months while the global auto industry was in contraction.
People abandoned GM, Ford and Chrysler in the 1980's due to quality issues, and went to Japanese and European brands. If the same thing happens to Tesla, it will be well deserved judging by your opinion, but what have we seen, the exact opposite so far, Tesla growing production by 30% to 50% YoY and having 14 days of inventory on hand compared to >100 days for industry peers.
