    Human beings are strange animals. Tesla build quality has been suspect from the beginning. Why was that not the priority before now?

      I’d assume it’s because Tesla were one of the first to mass market EVs, and Musk’s pandering made them seem like a good, progressive bet. Once people were locked into their purchase they don’t like to admit that they might have made a poor choice. Or they were aware of the build quality, but figured that the brand was a safe bet, that they’d improve over time.

      It’s amazing what humans will get tribal over.
