In what regards? Teslas are mechanically sound, the paint and panel gaps seem to be the biggest complaint.

Is the build quality different than what's in their current car and truck lines? Ford interiors have always been utter garbage IMO. There's nothing like plugging a USB cable into a USB port and then trying to unplug it and the whole interior trim panel comes off instead. And the squeaks and creaks...
We could compare to Fiat Chrysler who is "Highest in Initial Quality" by JD Powers. The chrome starts to rub of the interior finishes inside 18 months. The paint oxidizes on the exterior in roughly the same time.
- dukeofdoom 6y agoI prefer the interior finish of the Ford. Here is a direct comparison of the model Y and the Mach E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUjDBYQkhwM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUjDBYQkhwM
- cptskippy 6y agoYour personal preference doesn't equate to it being better made. Everyone always points to incumbents making "better" cars than Tesla but rarely explain what that means. Sometimes they mock paint or panel gaps. If they were comparing to a Honda or Toyota then sure, but it's always one of the big three in the comparison.
