We talking about build quality or sales volume? Look on YouTube: lots of videos about Model 3 build quality. Not just panel gaps, although that is a problem. Poor paint (varying thickness, missed spots, dust in paint, orange peel), unfinished interior trim, and other issues. And then there are the stories about missed undercoating or sound deadening, post assembly repairs, etc.
Face it, Tesla doesn't know how to be a volume car manufacturer. Musk's ego seems to get in the way of hiring someone from Toyota, Honda, or even Ford that knows how to run a manufacturing plant. Not assembling and painting cars in a tent would be a start.
I suspect you're going to say these are all early teething problems or urban myths. But if I were to spend $40K on a new car I'd want more confidence in how it's built than Tesla offers.
