> But at least they don't seem to skimp on quality control. I don't think this is true (remember, reworking only addresses the problems you can see). Last weekend I rented somebody's Model 3 on Turo to see what it was like, and while I enjoyed it, the QC problems are real. The touchscreen crashed twice, and the cupholder in the center spar doesn't close unless you push it very slowly. This is in a $60,000 car! Things like that don't inspire confidence in long-term reliability and I definitely won't be spending my own money on a Model 3 until I see some assurance that they are overhauling their QC in a big way.

> The touchscreen crashed twice In this case, do you lose the speedometer etc while it resets? Does it reset automatically or do you have to press something? Genuinely curious. Edit: this will become the go-to excuse for speeding in the future - "I'm sorry officer, I don't know how fast I was going, the speedometer had crashed and needed to reboot".

another example was a P3D version with mismatched interior door panels. how that ever got to a customer is mind boggling. still I have a deposit on a M3 since 8/5, will take a large number of pictures when it ever arrives and hopefully by then it comes out fine
