Marques is a good kid but his content has reached the end of S curve for sure. He's been constantly uninformed especially with a bit deeper understanding of technology and Tesla. His shows are for the masses to keep his subs in check. That 'review' was just a low quality parking lot moaning. It was just a flick which does not hold a candle to other CT reviews. It is a pity really as his viewer base is strong. I wish he got the message and hired a tech guy for many things he has no clue about.This rant is uncalled for.
I believe Sandy Munro has seen more cybertrucks and is able to look much deeper and closer in term of build quality and he seems concluding that Cybertruck is much better than previous models and Tesla is doing a better job than anybody else could be. While Munro is somewhat fanboy-ish recently, I trust him much more than Marques in tech assessment.
Not to dunk Marques or anything, but his "expertise" in tech is in gadgets like smartphones, earbuds, etc. Marques is good at assessment of product looks, feels, and apparent quality issues, like panel gap, i.e. mainly user experience and that's all. This single cybertruck is not acceptable, panel gap wise, according those watched the video. But that alone is not enough to jump to conclusion of bad quality control.
With Tesla's expansion rate there will be a latency between input they get and output they decide to provide. It will take time but eventually it will happen to satisfactory extent.Strongly agree. I live in Vermont and until now the nearest service center has been a four hour round trip to Lathrop New York. Just had my first Ranger service visit a few weeks ago (to fix a fog light) and showed a bad panel gap to the technician. He measured and said it was sufficient to warrant adjustment on a new service ticket. The larger issue for us investors you raise, is myopic allocation of resources as the company has reached large scale and profitability. With 20+ billion in cash reserves, why not deploy .0001 % to correcting quality problems, adding service centers more proactively and other steps to support demand growth prior to ramping of Model 2. Including ramping overdue efforts to overcome widely held misconceptions about EVs versus ICE vehicles.
Look at FSD, so much moaning and yet, 12.3 - folks lose their pants over it.
Batteries - moaning, yet 2x progress in short time.
Service - it needs time. I don't blame Tesla for getting close to major city areas. This is where the money is. They will get to remote folks eventually.
