    It almost varies from car to car in my very limited experience. Just from outside one, the build quality varies wildly. I worked for a surgery center for a few years and didn’t notice until I saw 2 Drs parked side by side and one of them had massive body panels gaps that even I noticed. Having seen the difference, I can see it when I pass by parked ones as I go around town.

    The lack of consistency is a deal breaker for me, even if the company wasn’t run by a south African Nazi

      Did you look at the relative age of the vehicles? Consistency of finish was a widely publicized issue while they were struggling with quality trying to ramp up, but you rarely to never read about that anymore. I believe quality has consistently improved and one from the last couple model years will be significantly better than the first couple years of mass production.

      However my direct experience is with a model y

      • 2023, so more modern, quality issues have been largely worked out

        If you take offense at Elon being called a Nazi, but think of yourself as a “liberal,” you might want to take a moment to reflect on why.

            …again, if your attention is focused on the South African part, and avoiding the Nazi part, you might want to think about that.
