I'd have to disagree with horrendous build and meh materials. I've had my tesla for 2+ years and I hear this complaint too often. It really isn't as horrible as people make it out to be. Doors and such actually feel solid and not 'cheap' in anyway.
Sure the panels aren't perfect and you can see gaps. But I can see the same gaps on a FK8 type R as well. One might argue that it's a 100k car (model x), but then they neglect that Tesla's only just been building cars as opposed to Honda or Toyota for decades and part of the price you're paying for is actually the technology in the car and not the build quality only. Not just fast charging but small user friendly functions they thought of like being able to turn on the A/C with the Tesla App while you're walking back to your car in the summer makes the car a godsend when you're in Hong Kong like me. I love being able to voice command GPS or get spotify to play a song in the car without getting my hands off my wheel. It's a great daily and the panel gaps don't upset me enough to disregard these perks.
I can see they are improving as they go along, not just in the tech but for the actual user as well, I for one am glad they are getting ride of the falcon wing gimmick doors as those do not work as well as traditional doors for the average user.
