I'm not so sure about that, especially when you look at how the Falcon Wing Doors have turned out. That work was brought in house.
Originally, in February 2014, the job was sourced to a third party Hoerbiger to deliver the finished product to Tesla.
In May 2015, it came back with oil leaking from the hydraulic system so much that Tesla decided to bring it in-house.
Tesla decided to start it from a scratch and redesigned the system and ditched the third party's hydraulic system.
It then went with electronic mechanism instead.
And that was a very incredibly short time to turn a disaster around in just 4 months to deliver a first Model X in September 2015.
Yes, there have been problems but they are fixable because it's done in-house.
Those in-house problems are just like a walk in the park when you compare them with the finished product from a third party.
