That's a Model 3, not a Model S

  Good point, oops! I’ve edited my comment to make that point, and include the correct tearsown.

    There was only one (publicly released) teardown. Munro seems to have released only two, one of the Model 3 and one of the car he considers to be the "most advanced vehicle on the planet", the i3. Considering the extreme opposite outcomes of his only two public teardowns, I'd be curious to see how measured his views on other cars would be or whether there's any hyperbole here. Does anyone have any other Munro teardowns? Or perhaps any other independent source reconfirming his view?

That review is incredibly biased and concerns the Model 3 not the Model S.
- IntronExon 9y ago
  Yeah, Teslarati.com is ever so biased against Tesla. :| Does biased just mean “I don’t like it!” these days?

    Teslarati is just run by Russian bots, their opinions are invalid.

    Cherry picking a single sample, getting facts wrong about the 12V port and handles, not even doing a comparison with the handles on other cars? I mean, having Detroit car makers, notorious for bad build quality, and critique Tesla reeks of people like Steve Ballmer criticizing Apple, or the ULA folks running critics of SpaceX. Biased means I this case, a tear down free of context. What’s the defect rate of Detroit built cars of similar class and age? How many recalls have they endured?
    - IntronExon 9y ago
      So a combination of wishing they’d destroyed a dozen cars, and “wasaah Detroit was bad too!” I’m starting to get a sense of where the bias really lies, thanks.

        You’d be wrong. I own a Honda Odyssey, not a Tesla. Do you own a German car?
        IntronExon 9y ago
        You don’t need to be an owner to be biased, but fair question either way. No, I don’t own a German car, and never have. In fact no one in my family has, based on a promise to my grandfather, a Jew who fought in WWII. So really, my bias is decidedly anti-German, but I still respect the engineering. By the same token, VW engaged in wrongdoing did not shock me.

Your new edit is also about the Model 3... and even appears to be citing the same original source.
