Data and consumer reporting consistently rank Tesla as one of, and frequently THE, most unreliable car company by the numbers as far as quality control. It has nothing to do with Musk hate. The company is infamous for ex-managers confessing that they were told to ship them with the defects because most people didn't bother to have them fixed.

You "only" had a panel issue that required multiday service. That's not supposed to happen with brand new cars.

I'm glad you enjoy the car and driving it though, I bet they are great when they're at their best. Apparently, the China-based ones are fine very well. But it's okay to criticize things that should be criticized.
