Tesla's are consistently at the bottom of reliability ratings and rather infamous for their crap build quality. Obviously they are ahead with Autopilot and the

  this is neither here or there. With Tesla I've understood that it's an onion, each layer having a new adventure. Where it comes to things engineers can do, Tesla leads the pack comfortably. Seeing as Tesla and SpaceX attract the best and brightest of engineers straight from university, this a resource Elon can comfortably throw at any problem and get amazing results, since he doesn't answer to anyone and give a carte blanche to his minions to work at the problem to his satisfaction. Hence the amazing coolant systems and motors and stuff like that. but where it refers to things which are to be done by assembly line staff... that requires institutional knowledge, which, like good tea, require time to steep, and that's something Elon is unwilling to wait on, and Tesla suffers as a consequence. This is not something you can throw money or engineers to fix, (sure to some extent, but...) it takes time for the line workers to get into the rhythm of building things correctly, the first time without error, and further time to build up speed. Elon's impatience hampers this, and the constant changes and tweaks doesn't help.
