panel gaps are just the tip of the iceberg..if you bothered reading my last 2 posts

Munro took apart a second car and found the panel gap issue (this is what was referred to in calling the build quality as that of a 90's kia) was gone.
Munro et al had two 2 cars for teardown...he even said in that April interview it's hit and miss some are fine while others are garbage

so if Tesla's defense is true, it still doesn't address what happens if your'ps was produced in 2017 or early 2018 with 90s Kia finish? there's no lemon law here

the bigger issue seems to be removing hundreds of spot welds...so they traded one problem for a potentially a much larger one...are we gonna see crash tests re-done?

Munro suggested that Tesla is inexperienced outside battery and drive controller and the chassis is overtly-complicated and heavy and that it was impossible to sell at 36K without loss
