The best electric cars are not up to standard when they leave the factory? Tesla employees say more than 90% of Model S/X have repair problems

When talking about the best electric car in the world, most people's first reaction is Tesla created by "Iron Man" Musk.

But is Tesla a reliable car?

Surprisingly, nine current and former Tesla employees told the public that the quality of Tesla's Model S sedans and Model X SUVs is not as high as users expected. During the quality inspection after assembly, more than 90% of the products are often found to be defective and are sent directly to the repair workshop after rolling off the production line in Fremont, California.

It is understood that the data cited by Tesla employees came from Tesla's internal tracking system in October this year. Some employees even said that they had actually discovered this shocking problem as early as 2012, and revealed that Tesla has spent a lot of manpower and financial resources on the post-production product repair process.

In response, Tesla's official statement is that most of its products have minor defects after production and can be resolved in a few minutes. It also emphasized that the company's quality control process is extremely strict, but refused to provide the defect rate of assembled cars, and refused to comment on the defect rate provided by employees.

As we all know, the world's most efficient automobile manufacturers, such as Japan's Toyota Motor, have very good control over product quality during the initial installation period, so the average post-production automobile defect rate of these manufacturers is generally less than 10%. From this point of view, Tesla's product quality is indeed worrying.
