This is great.
Mr Musk is a perfectionist, like Japanese are. He is not selling bad finished cars(like other companies will do).
They are also using lots of automation. This means there are lots of problems at first. With automation, once you solve a problem, it is solved forever.
How you could compare Tesla rework with other companies rework, where the threshold that determines if a car needs reworking is decided by the executives of the same companies?
I could make rework zero just selling broken cars. I bought a European car with a problem in one valve of the engine when it was brand new. I told the dealers about the strange sound, they told me it was normal. It was not and gave me lots of headaches later.

Take your Eurocar example, and then multiply that by multiple systems. And then apply that to almost every purchaser of the vehicle. And now you understand Tesla's problem. Somewhere along the way, Mr. Musk's "perfectionism" is interfering with the actual production and quality control of the vehicles and resulting in vehicles that are very far from perfect....when they easily could be, if he were to let the professionals run the company.
