Reuters published the report today which might have negatively affect TSLA stock price:
Build fast, fix later: speed hurts quality at Tesla, some workers say
"Quality checks have routinely revealed defects in more than 90 percent of Model S and Model X vehicles inspected after assembly"
The source came from fired employees who remain anonymous due to Tesla non-disclosure agreements.
Tesla denied the figure and stated:
"...we care about even a fraction of a millimeter body gap difference or a slight paint gloss texture..."
Hmmmm. Let's see:
A millimeter is the size of an eye of a regular sewing needle:
But we are talking about Tesla millimeter that fits a finger as pointed out by forumer @rolling18?
Who should we believe?
Bias report from Edmunds?
Slightly mis-aligned chrome trim:
Uneven gap:
Uneven hatch closure:
And @Iflyplanes:
Huge door gap:
Uneven door closure:
Mis-aligned black window edges between front and back doors:
If Tesla wants to argue against those fired employees, it should make public of its Quality Assurance tracking system log because the pictures are embarrassing.
