This has happened to every other car company on the planet at one time. Pretending it hasn't is silly. If you don't want a car that has ever had any production issues at any point in it's life, you don't want a car. It's like complaining that Intel has low yield numbers for their CPUs, or that some of the apples that your local orchid grows are rotten. The cars are being manufactured to the correct specs, it's just a different (more manual) way of doing it. If you care about nothing but your car, then you wouldn't give a shit how it's manufactured as long as it's good. If you have an issue with the end result of these cars, that's another thing. But the FPY has nothing to do with that. A car made to shitty specs and with awful tolerances is going to be awful regardless of whether they made it awful on the first try or the 10th.
