We don’t know if Musk has overruled Tesla’s engineers about testing the Model 3 before regular production begins. But it’s a grave mistake not to put the car through the most rigorous real-world testing Tesla is capable of performing.

I mean panel gaps, missing pieces, etc, I kind of understand if you're just not paying attention. The complete opposite color is impossible to miss unless you're Helen Keller or you think we're going through a new ska revival.

you are a factory worker. your job is to take the first available trim in the bin and apply to door on the line. you have 20 seconds to do this. one day mid shift you start to do this, but it’s the wrong color:

if you’re at toyota you hit the kaizen button and the entire line stops until they can figure out where the process is broken causing you to not have the right part

if you’re at gm, you pick one of the other trim parts in the bin that’s the right color out of order and keep the line running.

if you are you are at kia you are only making one color interior this shift so it doesn’t happen

if you’re at ford, you apply the incorrect trim but flag for quality control for review for rework

if you’re at tesla you just put the wrong part in because volume is the only metric that matters and when it gets to qc they have bigger fires than cosmetic problems; elon is railing research chemicals and club kids and you don’t want to get his attention for lowering production

Teslas are the new TVRs. Each one "hand made" so only 50% of the panels fit, incredibly unreliable and with a die hard fan base.
