Ok, lots of quality problems, but let's think about things in terms of their larger significance.
Have the Tesla cars, in spite of their quality problems, revolutionized the auto industry, pushing almost every major manufacturer to start BEV programs and thereby being a major force in dealing with global warming and hence the future of the human race? Yes.
Will Tesla, in the next year or two, greatly improve the quality of the Model 3? Probably.
Will Tesla autos continue to sell well? Probably.
So should you feel basically positive about Tesla? I say yes. Unless, of course, you are in the fossil fuels or ICE business.
