Tesla has always had body alignment issues since their first attempt, the Model S. It’s honestly quite unfortunate because these models are suppose to be a shiny example of American manual labor pushing out the new luxury model that would set Tesla up to enter the mid level market with a Model 3. Sadly, technological advances, a backlog of orders, and minimal factory space, all contributed to a decline in quality. Don’t get me wrong, these are absolutely beautiful cars, but in terms of actual construction of the vehicles, GM and Ford has nailed this to perfection with their automatic + human labor assembly lines. They’re able to produce numbers right now that Tesla can only dream about with a much higher satisfaction rate, I would think. If Musk wants to really compete with the Big 3, he has to focus on quality all the way around and not just the ability to slap bigger batteries in and more speed through firmware updates. If you want to make a car, focus on the basics of it—the actual body, making sure my door lines up with my front fenders. Such basic cosmetic issues that are overlooked constantly on the cars coming from the Tesla factory.
