— with one of the most vocal critics being Sandy Munro, an auto-manufacturing expert who once likened the build quality of a 2018 Model 3 to a Kia from the 1990s. with Munro published this week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk fessed up to some of the company's production hiccups and recommended the best time of year to buy a new Tesla.
Asked how the fit and finish of two Model 3 sedans Munro had examined could be so vastly different — even though they were built only a month apart — Musk admitted that build quality tends to be worse when Tesla is working to"Friends ask me, when should they buy a Tesla. Well, either buy it right at the beginning, or when production reaches a steady state," Musk said.
Customers who"really want things to be dialed," Musk went on, should buy a very early model or one built"once production has leveled off."
techinsider I love how honest he is about stuff like this lol I don’t know of any other CEO witch such a connection to his customers other than Richard Branson
That interview with Sandy was an amazing interview! A Gem! Shame on you Tim Levin for only writing about production issues only. There was so much more positive topics covered and you said nothing about any of them.
It’s “super difficult” to pay the entire about that cost to buy Tesla S. But I am going to still take the car out, won’t pay, will Elon let it happen? That’s how lame 😒 is Elon’s statement. You are aiming for the stars, & fancy stuff but you can’t get a straight line right?
Everybody knows this. People want the very first mass-produced electric car. It's like owning one of these! Also all the first Tesla owners are pioneers! They were the first!
His candid honesty is almost endearing. Will he publish lull production times?
Uhhhhh…………bbb_us
well, 6-sigma method and stuff, quality needs to be ensured, but i think elon is going the right path here
