As someone who's owned a Volkswagen that was fun to drive but had some engineering flaws, I'm not looking to return to that experience with a Tesla. Even VW never had (as far as I know) a car that could rip its own bumper off if you managed to catch a puddle wrong. Tesla is an amazing halo brand but their cars are (IMHO) first and foremost about the driving experience including range. The regular paint flaws, seam alignment issues, bumper problem and rust issues make me think they still have some work to do for fit and finish. Don't get me wrong: they're probably the best out there for now, but they could improve. And eventually competitors may be able to offer a compelling mix of performance and range along with build quality that drains Tesla customers who were compromising. VW doesn't have to match Tesla point for point, they just have to make something good enough people will buy it instead.
