If someone were to place an order for a 2021 Model 3 AWD long range model; what build quality issues would they need to be on the lookout for? Given the age of the Model 3, I would be surprised if they are still making changes to the build process on a 5-6 year old vehicle. I would naively assume the improvements (as much as they can improve) in build quality would have been delivered by now.
I think I have decided on a Model 3 AWD long range (well, until your post reconfirmed that build quality is still a issue that even die-hard Tesla fans mention. And if a die-hard fan is willing to recognize the defect - then the defect isn't insignificant). So I worry when I read stuff like this.
Lately, it seems like they can't get door handles set properly. I've seen a handful of posts with door handles more recessed than they should be.
Some have interior headliner misalignments, tail light misalignment, charge door misalignments, or trunk misalignments.
