    A friend of mine rented a 2023 Tesla recently. He said there was a visible air gap between the trunk lid and the body of the car. That’s decent to you?

      lol, do you mean panel gaps? that has more to do with manufacturing process. I’m more referring to the features they provide for the price they’re selling at. They’re decent.

      I can assure you, cars can get a lot less decent than Teslas… Korean cars in the early 2000s for example…

        So they have decent features, they’re just built like shit. Great selling point.

          they have higher than reported number of build failures, such as presence of panel gap but that does not indicate ALL of them come like that.

          McLaren and Maseratis spring to mind, and have similar traits. It does not make them shit cars at all.
