Really nice review - thank you. The alignment issues are stunning to me. They'd be stunning if this thing cost $50K. The fact the poor build quality cracked the window is jaw-dropping.
Holy moly! They need to hire several people like you. We highly considered the model X before buying the Y. Tesla has to change its focus from pushing out product to quality control
@@Ravenought69 He's asking that from a financial point of view, not from a "pride in making a great product" angle. To most CEOs, the less they can spend, the better, as long as people keep on buying the product.
Yes These car cartel companies should be taken to task for defects they know about. You should be Compensated for your time and inconvenience then these billionaire s will realize they can't screw over the public
To be fair, you are reviewing a specific car that is defective with known issues i.e. the broken glass on the falcon wing. That is not typical. I have had two model x’s, current being a plaid 2023, and neither of them had build issues. There are quirks with the software, but it is still the only car I’ve ever owned that gets technologically better after you buy it, not worse. And even the worst Tesla model x plaid is better than almost every suv out there imho. But I’m obviously biased :-)
Rode in a friends Tesla Model X from 2017 and was very dissapointed. Cool tech, horrible car. Noisy as all hell, creaks and cracks throughout the entire car, leather seats making lots of noise, rubber seals starting to fail causing lots of wind noise and whistling, some fluid valve has broken several times and limited charging speed with no fixes. Only good thing about the car is free supercharging and decent EV tech. The rest is horrible for what you are paying, over 100,000.
I agree with the video review. I looked at one about a year ago. I walked. When you follow any Tesla on the road look at the trunk and how frequently there is a large gap on one side or the other when closed. Just one small example
I once did a chrome-delete on a 2016 model X, the bad panel alignments were pretty much the same as on this new model X ... no improvement there. The new interior does look and feel better (in certain places), but overall still nowhere near what I'd expect from a $100K+ vehicle, but I get that same feeling also at other brands lately.
@@MarkBraggs Eh, it's kinda their halo car. It's not meant to be made in volume. The speed on a plaid is really ludacris compared to anything else similar. Plus I think the brand damage of having a "failed" car that ends up discontinued at this point in Teslas trajectory would not be worth the money it costs them to keep it going right now. Gotta keep making those Falcon doors.
@@денисбаженов-щ1бand they make smaller margins. If google made a iPhone killer they could with lower margins easily.. No VW EV isn’t outselling tesla 😂 And no you can’t compare the CT to a suv.. let along you’re betting against the highest reservation car in history. So… I’ll take your bet
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 If that was a real problem, minivan sliding doors are far more effective, and you don't have to worry about snow on the roof being an impediment.
Sorry Americans but the problem is American build quality in general. The Chinese made Tesla's are perfectly fine, why can't the US plant still not fix these problems after all these years? I've had American cars before and they are always substandard build quality, unfortunately the reputation is true and doesn't seem to be able to change.
If a auto manufacture can't get the glass and body panels to align, what else did they miss? $110k for this? Well, Tesla sure thinks highly of themselves. They will not see my money.
@@mxj247I think it has more to do with being excited your car finally comes in, you don’t notice these things until you get use to the car. Then you notice all the flaws .
After all these years, I STILL can’t understand why Tesla can’t get their build quality act together. It’s not like it’s rare cases that happen randomly…these are issues that many owners have complained about for years, literally. I love their vehicles and even own a Model 3, but it really makes me not want to consider another one considering the real possibility of getting one that might be well built and one that looks like it was slapped together
Owned a 2018 X and now a 2023 X plaid and both definitely had lots of build issues. The list is long and frustrating. That said still the most amazing car I have ever experienced. I pile my 4 kids into a rocket ship everyday with a big grin on my face. The front windshield, the power, the falcon wing doors, charging speed and range, sound system and all the tech features that are continuously added. It’s a badass car and the panel gaps and interior squeaks are just something you shrug off while effortlessly passing almost every other car on the road.
This car is polarizing for sure. People will remember both good and bad, but not forget about the car. The model X contributes very little to the bottom line so I understand they are not focusing on this but still a shame that not every plaid owner is getting a really high quality finish. I have a MY long range and I have the same smile going on road trips with that car.
@@djjoefreshboy7455Plan on a list of things for service to take care of every quarter in the first year. They will fix 60% and blame software for the rest. Be persistent. After you get all the initial quality items done the car becomes very reliable. Finally another feature I forgot to mention is full self driving. I use it daily. It is like having a driver for you that you just have to keep an eye on. Reduces the stress of day to day and especially road trip driving. It is relaxing to have a car drive you around.
It's frustrating to see yet another video about how poor the quality of a Model X is. Too many comparisons are made between the Model X and competitors who start at a much higher price point. 100k for a car with these unique features is hardly unusual nowadays. 40k used to be the price of a semi high-end car. Nowadays, that's the price of a Honda. I personally have had a problem free ownership of a Model X for 5 years now. I've put over 220,000 miles on it, and I've never had problems with the Falcon doors. At 190k miles I had to replace the bushings on the driver side suspension. That's all. Basically, whoever watches this should know there are many out there who have had their Teslas for years, worry free.
No matter what the cost, there’s no excuse for letting a car leave the factory with such poor quality control. This makes for a bad reputation for your product. Tesla has been in existence for over ten years and to still have these problems is inexcusable. From what I can tell all of these problems are at the original Tesla plant in Fremont, Ca. Perhaps Elon should shut that plant down and move completely out of California. If Elon would hire some Toyota Quality Control Engineers they would solve these problems. This is the best QC video I’ve ever seen, Thanks.
very comprehensive review, pointing out the flaws and imperfections, as well as the great design and use of materials. I usually get bored after 15 minutes of reviews like these, but he kept my interest to the end. Thanks for the video!
You keep mentioning it's a $110,000 car, but the same car is selling A LOT MORE in other parts of the world. Cars are the cheapest in the USA, stop complaining.
Which brand has the best and most consistent build quality? Id say Audi, actual german made Mercedes (the Alabama Plant is not as good ive been told) and Japanese premium cars like Lexus. Volvo seems really good from what ive seen in person especially the V60 and V90. Porsche is top notch ofc
Honestly seems like they’re putting the majority of their quality control efforts into the Model 3 and Y, seeing as how they’re the vehicles ending up in the most customers hands, so they want the majority of the word of mouth marketing to be favorable. Seems backwards, but that’s how it seems to work with marketing models like Teslas. Put your “best” efforts into wherever the bulk of your product is going, even if that product is the “budget” option.
Excellent video! Very informative. I don't think I've ever come across a video that addresses that many issues with Tesla. I hope you can give a reference or a comparison in terms of the issues you've pointed it out this video like a comparable vehicle from BMW or Mercedes or Porsche. Is their build quality that perfect, or we're just being too picky on Tesla!
This is why i love out of spec. Showing the truth. Not a Tesla stock pumping fan boy channel. Tesla is the BEV yard stick. But needs to stop cost cutting, on the build.
Look, if you buy a BMW X7 it will have consistent panel gaps and a cushier softer interior, but it will also need to be thrown away after 100k miles, whereas your X will be just getting started. Quality can be measured in multiple ways. To say nothing of operational costs and depreciation, where the X wins hands-down. But this is an excellent video, keep them coming!

Who is this guy? I own a 2023 X and none of the issues he's mentioned exist on my X. He talks like he's an expert and it's obvious he's not. Are we not certain he works for big oil. The issue I see today are so many false and unprofessional auto reviews that are backed by the opposition. I would suggest going down to a Tesla showroom and see for yourself as I did. Test drive the X and see if I'm not right. I'm not suggesting this particular individual is fake, after all, he may just not like Tesla, however, fake reviews and other forms of deceptive endorsements cheat consumers and undercut honest businesses.

@@sharms888 oops! I didnt mean to quote Tesla as a luxury car here in this context.. I was referring to other brands like BMW, Benz or others,. as I really dont feel they are luxury brands, even though they term with such keywords.
The model Ys are exceptional. Unfortunately, with a design like the X, it would be really expensive to correct everything and Tesla chose not to do it.
over 10 years in building cars and tesla still has poor build quality and increased the pricing! WHY would people still buy tesla? when the self driving software catches up with other automakers no one will buy tesla.
Just not a fan of the X. Going for the R1S instead. Im sure there will be similar quality issues but I just dont see why pay so much for the X. I didn't find it all that
My goodness what a cheap looking car. Ill pass....I'll keep my Mercedes and wave when your charging up... These cars are for a certain part of the population. This car reminds me of my first GM car I bought in 1973. Gaps and cheap looking
Do a review on Benz cars using same standard, you will find lots of minor issues with Benz as well. I have both Model S and Benz AMG GLE 53($90K), lots of minor issues on Benz as well - loose/noise plastic panels in many places(exterior), ugly/cheap plastic door seals, press interior parts creak noises almost everywhere; engine jerky in low speed/stop,....
One more reason justifying my BMW IX purchase decision over the Tesla Model X. I would be incensed to have the glass roof break in just one month on a $110K dollar car.
I think the x plaid is much more fun, I don't know why it has to have all these issues. The Y and 3 issues have been mostly ironed out, my 2023 Y compared to 2020 is night and day. 2023 near perfect build.
@@mt2nv1 I actually have had no issues with DC fast charging my IX, even at EA stations. In fact, I picked it up in Baltimore and drove it cross country back to WA state the day I bought it. I mostly charge it is at home, and that is a breeze. I agree Tesla wins at the DC fast charging game, and I look forward to being able go use their chargers in the future.
@@mt2nv1 I agree the Supercharger network is superior and will likely be the real money maker for Tesla in the future when everyone adopts NACS but as it stands today if you can charge at home I would seriously consider other options besides Tesla at these price points.
This was not from the early ones. I have 2023 with ultrasonic sensors and hardware 3. This one doesn't have the ultrasonic sensors it means it has the hardware 4.
Got to ride a model y on my Uber and quality is so bad. Car felt cheap and doors are thin and rattled when opening and shutting. You could feel all the imperfections on the road and it rattles like my old Acura Integra. The technology is cool but I think the cheap feel and rattling would annoy me. Maybe I’ll rent one on Turo and give it another chance
It tried a 2024 X. It is a built nightmare. They have tried to steal from every single part they could to reduce the parts and hence the production cost. It is like a junk plastic for the price of lux. I own a model Y 2023 with at least 9 quality and function, production problems. it is a nightmare too but after testing X, i want to stick witj my Y tho I am have to take Tesla to court next week. And the guy frames to bonus himswlf 57$B. Seriously??
looking at my mercedes e-class from 2018, that thing looks a hell of a lot better than that, hell even my old car peugeot 208 from 2018 too, looked better than that thing, the build quality is just unacceptable.
Just like everyone. Tesla build quality is shit. I knew these from the beginning but i still purchased the car and it's still the best car i owned. it's Fun to drive, the amzing tech etc... I still enjoy it everytime i drive it. But really hope that Elon Musk really put an emphasis on the build quality over quantity.
If this was a VW, Audi, BMW etc you would run a mile. Its been in a smash, written off, chassis needs jigging, wind noise, water ingress ? Orange peel paint . So inconsistent, A truly terrible car.
have you ever watched videos of car manufactures when a QA person is checking the car. A tesla would never see teh light of day past those guys! a 1970 Morris Marina was built better.
Are we still talking about Tesla bill quality people come on now this is nothing new. I know it cost a lot of money but it’s not going to make your car stop working. Just make a service appointment and get it fixed. That’s all Jesus Nothing to cry over their turnover rate is too big just imagining trying to hire a new guy to build a Tesla people expect too much from Tesla do you research before buying the car then you wouldn’t have a problem because I know I don’t not one at all
Benz use to have a car with gull wing doors, my god, how could they managed to do a good job back in the 60's 70's but Tesla can't manage to make doors.
They will probably never get those rear doors correct. That is what happens when you think that you know more than legacy carmakers. Just look at the many design faults on the Cybertruck for proof
Thats why i buy instead of this ‘shit’ a Lexus Rz. Not a mechanical revolution but the quality it is much better and it will remains many years later :)
This be click bait why would u get the car with problems it millions of cars on the road and one out every ten car is a problem people just won’t to complain Tesla is the best software in any car at it’s price so many other car have problems I just dnt get why people buy these car to complain it’s not one car on the planet that dnt have a problem down the road it’s a software around the car I hate I hate I hate like bro why u got it I know u know what Tesla build is not all that but one car for every 10 is great
I think you just gotta buy these cars knowing that they're built utilitarian in volume meant to get used and not really art pieces despite what people like to think they are. 110k for a plaid, you're buying the battery and drive train, build is tesla standards.
@@harmony3138 market choices are great, but a Mercedes is not a plaid, plus supercharger network. Merc build quality today I'm not sure is that much better anyway, lots of plastics and interior snap panels just like everyone else. Maccan is to be seen. Current generation of all cars in each tier feel both cheap and expensive at the same time, just the age we're in it seems.
Makes the much smaller sales numbers understandable but you are paying for the gull wing doors ... the only in the Industry still...and Tesla knows this and is willing to accept the consequences. My only dislike for all Teslas but especially this is no mud flaps to keep the dings and gunk much reduced. Given the current price a Ford F150 et al more than worth the expense provided Tesla is willing to negotiate. The biggest collapse in the value of a used vehicle by percentage are the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y so "cheap for a reason."
I love gull-wing doors but Not on the rear doors, seems pointless, as the rear seats get far less use. Model X looks like a great car but Tesla needs to work on quality.
Funny, Tesla has all of these quality problems, yet companies like Volvo/Polestar (which ironically build the EX90 and S60 here in the US), get flack for being owned by Geely, and their cars have NOWHERE near this level of shoddy build. Interesting how the perception of quality being subpar from Chinese ownership overshadows the blatant issues in US-built cars like these. Sounds like Tesla QC oversight is lax, no matter how many iterations of the same car come out. Unacceptable by any brand standards.

I'm not suggesting this particular individual is fake, after all, he may just not like Tesla, however, fake reviews and other forms of deceptive endorsements cheat consumers and undercut honest businesses.
Is the car fake too?
Do you need some tissue ?
i used to paint yachts, when the paint does that we called it orange peel
usually caused by laying on a coat of paint that is too thick and it doesn't cure properly
edit: lol i should watch the whole video before commenting 🤪
Highest percentage of cars recalled.... What do you expect?
It's not a car company, it's a tech company.
I wouldn't buy an Apple car or a Ford laptop.
Loved the video. Glad to see ppl coming up with such true facts to be addressed by expensive car companies,. Love to see such on all luxury cars,.
Lol since when did Tesla become a luxury car !
@@sharms888 oops! I didnt mean to quote Tesla as a luxury car here in this context.. I was referring to other brands like BMW, Benz or others,. as I really dont feel they are luxury brands, even though they term with such keywords.
It’s wild that Elon is still talking about hard it is to build cars, as if that’s a good excuse 12 years later.
The model Ys are exceptional. Unfortunately, with a design like the X, it would be really expensive to correct everything and Tesla chose not to do it.
My 2022 LR model 3 is the crunchiest car i've ever owned. Something is constantly rattling from road bumps and bass
over 10 years in building cars and tesla still has poor build quality and increased the pricing! WHY would people still buy tesla? when the self driving software catches up with other automakers no one will buy tesla.
I think the prices have been decreasing.
This is the worst example, Model Y is probably the best build car for the Money (from Germany and China)...
I hate this video....but glad I saw it. I have this EXACT vehicle on order... FUUUUCK.....
MUSKED again.
Just not a fan of the X. Going for the R1S instead. Im sure there will be similar quality issues but I just dont see why pay so much for the X. I didn't find it all that
They studied the 1990 LS400's build quality, and then did the opposite
Absolutely terrible, cant believe people accept that quality on a new car.
My goodness what a cheap looking car. Ill pass....I'll keep my Mercedes and wave when your charging up... These cars are for a certain part of the population. This car reminds me of my first GM car I bought in 1973. Gaps and cheap looking
This person should have rejected this car I would have!
Who the hell buys one of those? The gull wing doors are just stupid.
Almost like it was signed off by an immature manchild 😊
Do a review on Benz cars using same standard, you will find lots of minor issues with Benz as well. I have both Model S and Benz AMG GLE 53($90K), lots of minor issues on Benz as well - loose/noise plastic panels in many places(exterior), ugly/cheap plastic door seals, press interior parts creak noises almost everywhere; engine jerky in low speed/stop,....
One more reason justifying my BMW IX purchase decision over the Tesla Model X. I would be incensed to have the glass roof break in just one month on a $110K dollar car.
That IX is such a beautiful car
I think the x plaid is much more fun, I don't know why it has to have all these issues. The Y and 3 issues have been mostly ironed out, my 2023 Y compared to 2020 is night and day. 2023 near perfect build.
You still need to deal with BMW charging and software. Tesla put the money where it counts.
@@mt2nv1 I actually have had no issues with DC fast charging my IX, even at EA stations. In fact, I picked it up in Baltimore and drove it cross country back to WA state the day I bought it. I mostly charge it is at home, and that is a breeze. I agree Tesla wins at the DC fast charging game, and I look forward to being able go use their chargers in the future.
@@mt2nv1 I agree the Supercharger network is superior and will likely be the real money maker for Tesla in the future when everyone adopts NACS but as it stands today if you can charge at home I would seriously consider other options besides Tesla at these price points.
It looks so cheap everywhere, in and out. And the build quality is like a car feom the soviet union. Incredible
Are you kidding me? What an expensive pile of junk. Why anyone would want a Tesla is beyond me when there are now so much better alternatives.
Since u made this video, have u seen newer model X’s arrive to ur shop that gives an impression that tesla improved their build quality?
This is the early refresh Model X from 2021/2022. We need to see the quality from a newer 2023 version
This was not from the early ones. I have 2023 with ultrasonic sensors and hardware 3. This one doesn't have the ultrasonic sensors it means it has the hardware 4.
Got to ride a model y on my Uber and quality is so bad. Car felt cheap and doors are thin and rattled when opening and shutting. You could feel all the imperfections on the road and it rattles like my old Acura Integra. The technology is cool but I think the cheap feel and rattling would annoy me. Maybe I’ll rent one on Turo and give it another chance
My new one doesn't rattle or anything and feels beautiful. My old one was a bit more rattling...I am blown away how nice the new Y are.
@@bitcoinman9202 that’s good they improved it because rattling and creeking while driving is a no no lol
Try a model 3. Your mind will be changed.
Rode in a m3 for an Uber in London. Was not impressed with the cheap interior quality. No excuse for a car that costs so much.
@@bgaviator I mean the Model 3 is about 32K. so
It tried a 2024 X. It is a built nightmare. They have tried to steal from every single part they could to reduce the parts and hence the production cost. It is like a junk plastic for the price of lux. I own a model Y 2023 with at least 9 quality and function, production problems. it is a nightmare too but after testing X, i want to stick witj my Y tho I am have to take Tesla to court next week. And the guy frames to bonus himswlf 57$B. Seriously??
Truly SHOCKING build quality.
That wouldn't be acceptable on a 40k vehicle, let alone 100k +, absolute JUNK.
For $110k, I'd be refusing delivery if this is the example they provided. Shocking QA failures across multiple areas, a real friday afternoon car.
Tesla should try regular doors instead of falcon wing doors in Model X.
I feel like it could be a great idea to give an option with regular doors or falcon wing doors for a certain price on the website.
I always thought Teslas were overrated, but wow. Thats insane. A $25k Toyota has much better fit/finish, and will probably outlast it too.😅
looking at my mercedes e-class from 2018, that thing looks a hell of a lot better than that, hell even my old car peugeot 208 from 2018 too, looked better than that thing, the build quality is just unacceptable.
Just like everyone. Tesla build quality is shit. I knew these from the beginning but i still purchased the car and it's still the best car i owned. it's Fun to drive, the amzing tech etc... I still enjoy it everytime i drive it. But really hope that Elon Musk really put an emphasis on the build quality over quantity.
If this was a VW, Audi, BMW etc you would run a mile. Its been in a smash, written off, chassis needs jigging, wind noise, water ingress ? Orange peel paint . So inconsistent, A truly terrible car.
have you ever watched videos of car manufactures when a QA person is checking the car. A tesla would never see teh light of day past those guys! a 1970 Morris Marina was built better.
The Elephant in the Room. There are no new car designs since conception. They don't care... just buy the scam 😂😂 Nikola .
Are we still talking about Tesla bill quality people come on now this is nothing new. I know it cost a lot of money but it’s not going to make your car stop working. Just make a service appointment and get it fixed. That’s all Jesus Nothing to cry over their turnover rate is too big just imagining trying to hire a new guy to build a Tesla people expect too much from Tesla do you research before buying the car then you wouldn’t have a problem because I know I don’t not one at all
If the best part is no part, why Falcon Wing doors? It needs a redo.
except those dude ;)
Benz use to have a car with gull wing doors, my god, how could they managed to do a good job back in the 60's 70's but Tesla can't manage to make doors.
My Model X, (new to me August 2016), $131K, at purchase... Alignment and seal issues persist.
They will probably never get those rear doors correct. That is what happens when you think that you know more than legacy carmakers. Just look at the many design faults on the Cybertruck for proof
That's why I won't buy any Tesla, sure they are innovative but.....assembled in haste poorly, plus they lack a soul.
Thats why i buy instead of this ‘shit’ a Lexus Rz. Not a mechanical revolution but the quality it is much better and it will remains many years later :)
I would require Tesla to replace the entire vehicle. There is major misalignment indicating the entire body is out of specification.
My 2024 X arrived in May of 2024 with great build quality, no issues with the rear doors.
are those miss alignments able to get fixed?
This be click bait why would u get the car with problems it millions of cars on the road and one out every ten car is a problem people just won’t to complain Tesla is the best software in any car at it’s price so many other car have problems I just dnt get why people buy these car to complain it’s not one car on the planet that dnt have a problem down the road it’s a software around the car I hate I hate I hate like bro why u got it I know u know what Tesla build is not all that but one car for every 10 is great
I think you just gotta buy these cars knowing that they're built utilitarian in volume meant to get used and not really art pieces despite what people like to think they are. 110k for a plaid, you're buying the battery and drive train, build is tesla standards.
At the price you can get a Mercedes EV, or even a Porsche EV (Macan next year).
Far better build quality.
@@harmony3138 market choices are great, but a Mercedes is not a plaid, plus supercharger network. Merc build quality today I'm not sure is that much better anyway, lots of plastics and interior snap panels just like everyone else. Maccan is to be seen. Current generation of all cars in each tier feel both cheap and expensive at the same time, just the age we're in it seems.
@@harmony3138 Even the cheapest Model 3 is a better EV ownership experience than the most expensive Porsche or Benz EVs on the market.
same App on a cheap but expensive to buy....years away to Mercedes..decdes...this is a SCAM.
Makes the much smaller sales numbers understandable but you are paying for the gull wing doors ... the only in the Industry still...and Tesla knows this and is willing to accept the consequences. My only dislike for all Teslas but especially this is no mud flaps to keep the dings and gunk much reduced. Given the current price a Ford F150 et al more than worth the expense provided Tesla is willing to negotiate.
The biggest collapse in the value of a used vehicle by percentage are the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y so "cheap for a reason."
I love gull-wing doors but Not on the rear doors, seems pointless, as the rear seats get far less use. Model X looks like a great car but Tesla needs to work on quality.
Really want one but these reviews keep me from pulling the trigger. But still trade the Stock..
Not surprised the X is the most overrated vehicle on the market. Always was and always will be will be.
if i ever had 110000€ for a car ... i wuld deffinetly not buy crap like this...
All of this won’t stop the Tesla fanboys
sad but true
This is insane ! Why is it not better than this
You’re paying for the technology. The build can be better for the price but end of day your paying for the tech.
Funny, Tesla has all of these quality problems, yet companies like Volvo/Polestar (which ironically build the EX90 and S60 here in the US), get flack for being owned by Geely, and their cars have NOWHERE near this level of shoddy build. Interesting how the perception of quality being subpar from Chinese ownership overshadows the blatant issues in US-built cars like these. Sounds like Tesla QC oversight is lax, no matter how many iterations of the same car come out. Unacceptable by any brand standards.
Is there a point to this doors? I mean, whats wrong with the well tested door design 99.2% of every other car has?
99% of people can't see it if you don't show them. It's the same thing for a lot of cars.
Certainly Elon cult members make a lot of excuses for build quality 😊
Door part that do damage to glass roof is not your everydays anomaly.
@@jimmyh6601 build quality is not everything in a car look at Lucide air and tesla model s . Lucide have a better quality and less sales . it's not a excuses it's a part of the truf.
@@jonpetter8921 the car have sensors , the door is smarter than most car .
110 thousand dollar Frankenstein vehicle....... Hmm..... Ok
Same employees who build his rockets!💥😂
Imagine they would be built in China, quality would be much better.
Excellent review. This review will definitely effect my decision when buying an EV. Thank you
Next review the Rivians terrible gaps and compare who’s worse
Tesla should fire whoever in QC of Fremont factory!
