Eh, I think their current products are fine (except Cybertruck, that’s ridiculous). Every company has recalls, and Tesla’s are generally pretty mild (again, except Cybertruck).

Don't they famously have an issues with QC? It wasn't all that long that their other cars had problems with panel gaps, or manufacturing material left inside, etc.

I mark panel gaps in the "minor" category. You're not going to die because your panels don't precisely line up like you would if your brakes fail, battery explodes, or steering failure.

Tesla has its problems, but mechanically, they've been pretty sound.
