Nobody really cares about this. Esp if Tesla build quality is poor and VW is great I'd think the fast build is doing them no favors.
- SEJeff 5y agoThe reason this matters is that they make more cars in less time so they make more money. The build quality hype is pretty overrated IMO. Tesla build quality is actually pretty good now.
- rr808 5y agoHow does that allow them to make more money? I can see the factory could be a little smaller?
- kwhitefoot 5y agoNobody who buys one cares. The people who make them care because spending 20 hour more time means spending a lot more money for the same return.
