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?
