lol, do you mean panel gaps? that has more to do with manufacturing process. I’m more referring to the features they provide for the price they’re selling at. They’re decent.
I can assure you, cars can get a lot less decent than Teslas… Korean cars in the early 2000s for example…
So they have decent features, they’re just built like shit. Great selling point.
they have higher than reported number of build failures, such as presence of panel gap but that does not indicate ALL of them come like that.
McLaren and Maseratis spring to mind, and have similar traits. It does not make them shit cars at all.
No one said all of them came like that. Enough of them come like that that it is a widely-reported issue. They’re built like shit.
I’ve checked them out in the showroom, the fit and finish when they’re not built like shit is actually alright.
I personally have never ever noticed Teslas which YUUUUUGE panel gaps either. And they are popular where I live.
They are decent cars still like I said. Talking about the base model. You cannot possibly find a better EV or RWD car at that budget where I live.
Even a base C200 or 320i cost a lot more than the base model 3. Like 25-40% as much. If that is not decent I don’t know what is.
The cars they showed at a recent event had loose window trim and doors that didn’t close properly (one back door required a slam to close).
These were teslas that were brought and prepared by a dealer and still shoddy products.
And FYI I drive a Toyota myself, it’s handmade in a special factory and the fit and finish is absolutely horrible.
But somehow within the Toyota and the greater car community people always give it a pass because it’s a ToyOTa
Huh. I drive a Toyota too and it’s great. Best car I’ve ever owned. So I guess both Toyota and Tesla make great cars because of our personal anecdotes, right?
