As far as I've noticed, problem with Tesla is not the lack of quality, but the lack of uniformity (is it called quality control?).
What I mean by that is that they skip one vital step in production: verification. AFAIK, all modern car manufacturers have that.
It's inevitable that products acquire defects during manufacturing due to raw material or human or machine tolerances.
People/machines who inspect the vehicle during production, after production, they are either missing, or forced to skip their job.
There are pros and cons taking this approach: manufacturing output increases. That is what Tesla desperately needs.
But overall fleet comes out to be low quality (big variations between vehicles) and service center load increases. Of course,
some things can't ever be fixed after production.
I bring some marketing materials explaining, what Tesla factory definitely lacks:
