Which is why you should look at data instead of grasping at anecdotes, which— at most— account for less than 1/10 of 1% of owners.
Look! Here’s some actual data!

Cool. Thanks!
We will be reporting on such findings regularly. I just jumped the gun from an early run-through. Will see how the results change over time and will report on the results more thoroughly.
Sounds like some fine criticisms. It wasn't a PhD project. But I'll stay away from the trolls & honest critics for now. Other work to do.

2 Model 3 rear bumper covers fell off in heavy rain.
Not bumpers. Safety was not compromised nor protections of the car. Just the aesthetics of the car was compromised.
This is a modern rear bumper assembly with cover.
Modern bumpers usually compromise 2-4 pieces plus cover.

And it wasn't just "heavy rain" as one of the people said he drove through 12", or more, of water.
hyrdo braking via bumper cover. Not a specified feature of the 3.
"Sure, sure, my bumper cover fell off, but look at the perfect condition of those brake pads!"

I posted that Shaq vid on the "Model S Celebrities" thread.
Shaq is a strange cat.
Shaquille O'Neal Buys A Massive F-650 Pickup as His Daily Driver
I can't find a pic or an article but back in the 90's Shaq drove a 7/8 scale Semi Tractor/Truck as his daily driver.

The Tesla has a uh rather hard landing which most likely totaled the car with a destroyed suspension and badly damaged bottom frame and/or battery assembly.
Let's all hope the stock doesn't do the same.

Yeah, me too. Another example of how Tesla's vehicles are computers on wheels and Tesla is extremely iterative and aimed at improving via software.
Some personal data points that I think bode well for the 3rd & 4th quarters.
Ordered my P3D on 8/22/2018
Next day the delivery estimate was "October to December '18"
On 8/26 it read "Late September"
Yesterday it became "Late October".
My read of the tea leaves is that they did not need to make the delivery in the 3rd quarter so they are now working on the 4th quarter delivery/profit numbers.

Tesla Model 3 Performance review: a BMW M3/C63 rival?
So here’s the killer question: can it mix it with the German high performance hegemony? Shall I cancel my C63 order?
As ever, given the instantaneous torque whump you get in an EV, its acceleration from a standing start is awesome. Stamp on the fast pedal, and the interior atmosphere suddenly becomes rather less therapeutic. But the big story here is the way it handles. One of Tesla’s engineers described the Model 3 to me as being effectively mid-engined, with the resultant lower polar moment of inertia. Its centre of gravity is pretty good, too. So you really can hustle it, its body control is fine (despite its 1,800kg-plus weight), its steering feel good enough and arguably superior to a lot of electric set-ups

Warren Buffett: Apple investing in Tesla is a ‘very poor idea’
Hmm... I wonder why Warren Buffet would personally be talking smack on Tesla? He must have been playing bridge with Bannon today.

There is actually a higher order of motion above acceleration that Tesla’s achieve... it’s called “jerk”. This is that roller coaster feel you get when stomping the accelerator.
Except that (surprise, surprise) that's not what he said. He said that Apple shouldn't get into the car manufacturing business. He didn't mention Tesla.
