Teslas aren't particularly well-made, either. The very first one I rode in had a broken rear left seatbelt, which was just stuck in place and couldn't be pulled out. No one had ridden in that seat before it or tried using it, so it hadn't been noticed. The owner had to have the front passenger door seal replaced on receipt, which he noticed wasn't properly sealing because there was a lot of noise coming from that door while driving, as if the window was rolled down. If basic things like that make it through quality control, imagine what else does that isn't immediately noticeable.
