The issue not raised is that every quality problem Tesla fixes after a car delivered is going to have a cost associated with it and that will raise the cost of the whole run. What becomes very important is if a crash or injury gets linked back to a manufacturing defect. I am just amazed it can get past not only the factory but the delivery center in that condition. I am really wondering the entry level model will ever come out or if by late this year Tesla will discontinue it because of "lack of interest". As in, save money by dropping what would not be a profitable model but pass it off as a customer decision. I still plan to wait a bit before I got BEV, the range hit in winter months is just too dramatic; a reddit poster observed that near freezing freeway drives brought his range to 230 from 310. If anything with the burn rate they have they should retrench and put out the big ticket items first, the semi and sports car.
