Just as soon as people stop lining up to buy their cars.
edit: downvote if you please, but they're selling cars faster than they can make them. Tesla has zero financial incentive to start focusing on stopping those defects until the pre-orders dry up and people start voting with their wallets.
Corporations understand exactly one thing.
- MBCook 9y agoThe problem with that strategy is the instant the line disappears they’re screwed. At that point they have to compete with all the normal cars plus all the new electric cars that manufacturers are trying to release. Their quality doesn’t seem to be able to stand up, and their service reputation is terrible. Where as if they learn to fix these kind of quality control issues years ago on the model S (the way they should’ve) we wouldn’t even be talking about this right now and there wouldn’t be anything to worry about when the pre-orders stop. Of course they wouldn’t HAVE pre-orders except the only reason THAT is going on is because they don’t seem to be able to build the cars at a volume close to what they claimed. So the question is: are they doing the best they can on quality and that’s slowing down their production, or are they going as fast as they can and ignoring quality? Neither one of those would be a good answer.
