Tesla really needs to step up otherwise they'll be losing to other, more established brands like BMW with better quality EVs. Especially with the iX coming soon! |
I don't see established brands taking over Tesla for quite some time. Ford, a company who has been around for 100+ years, still has abysmal build quality issues (just look at the botched Aviator/Explorer launch) and yet they still do well. Most people outside of the enthusiast circle (of which we are a minority) don't prioritize build quality high on their lists, and it shows that even despite such issues Tesla's customer satisfaction is incredibly high.
