So Musk--a legend in his own mind--is pushing out Tesla Model 3s that, frankly, suck.
...Tesla’s Model 3 is being trashed by a key automotive industry analyst
after taking the compact battery-electric vehicle for a test drive....the new sedan is going after everyday owners who may have only one
vehicle at home. As such, getting quality right is expected to be a
critical challenge for the California-based automaker....
...“Our inspection revealed widespread shortcomings in fit and finish ,”
wrote Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi, after taking the Model 3 for a
test drive out of Tesla’s showroom in Brooklyn. “Tesla representatives
acknowledged some of the fit issues, but stated that they believed that
Model 3 was much further ahead than where Model X and S had been at this
point in production.”...
"Much further ahead?" REALLY? That'll be great comfort to the proud Tesla driver whose door fell off while on a trip to Grandma's house, eh?
...In particular, Sacconaghi said he was disappointed in the “relatively
poor” fit and finish of the interior of the Model 3 he drove. And while
he said Tesla’s defense might be “credible, we can’t help noting that
Tesla likely chose to share with us its highest quality/best assembled
units, so issues on other cars may be even more pronounced.”...
Yah. This, and the horrific lack of production, are due to Musk's ego; he is convinced that he knows better than ANYONE else about building cars.
If you haven't already done so, short the stock. That will be your Christmas present to yourself.
Good post.
