AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/05 Report--

Many voices on the Internet pointed out that Tesla Model 3 has some problems, such as poor workmanship, abnormal noise, water leakage, car body defects, excessive seam gaps, etc., so how bad can the workmanship be? On July 5, a digital blogger posted that he had really encountered a problem with the Model 3 car he bought.

He said, "when it comes to Tesla's poor workmanship, I have never encountered the problem of other car owners leaking water. Of course, my car really encountered a problem, the cover of the charging port is not perfectly sewn, and many car owners who picked up the car in the same period also encountered this problem. "

From the position of the rear charging port of his Model 3 car, we can see that the charging port cover cannot be completely closed, forming a very obvious gap with the plane of the car body, and the charging port cover is still tilted upward even when it is closed.

Judging from the post of the blogger, it has been only a week since his new Model 3 car was picked up. Netizens said, "look at some children uncomfortable, obsessive-compulsive disorder can not stand, the official authentic victims." Tesla's workmanship has been complained by a wide range of users, and some netizens used the sentence "indescribable" to describe it.

As the charging cover can not be closed strictly, it may bring a series of problems such as water intake into the charging port, and it is also easy to cause abnormal noise of greater wind noise in the process of driving. If there is the problem that the charging cover can not be strictly aligned when the vehicle leaves the factory, it can only show that there is indeed a loophole in Tesla's workmanship quality control.

Another well-known blogger also complained about the workmanship of Tesla Model 3 recently. "the Model 3 has distinct advantages, such as full power, good handling and stylish appearance, but the workmanship of the car is really unflattering," he said. In the course of use, the owner found that the Model 3 door tightness is poor, a large area of exposed black rubber, taillights and other seams gap is too large, uneven, and can even see through the gap inside the appearance.

Tesla has too many workmanship problems and has been widely complained about quality problems. Recently, Tesla ranked lowest in the influential J.D. Power new car quality survey, with 250 problems per 100 vehicles, ranking last among all automakers, but in fact the brand did not get an official ranking because the survey samples were not complete enough. However, the situation reflected by some users seems to confirm that Tesla still has serious quality problems, and the "quality control crisis" has always existed.

In addition, the Model Y model that has been delivered recently has encountered a large number of customer complaints about quality problems. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also said recently that it had launched an investigation into 63000 Tesla Model S because it had received a number of complaints about touch screen failure of Model S models.

In the eyes of some consumers, quality defects are unbearable. They believe that Tesla's cool technology configuration and constantly updated technology to attract consumers is not enough, quality stability is the key to the accumulation of user word-of-mouth.

But there are also many users who think that when they buy a Tesla, they are buying an upgraded route and constantly updated technology configuration, which is different from traditional car brands. Therefore, it is pointed out that this means that many people are willing to put up with defects in appearance or warranty in exchange for control of the future.

Even so, it doesn't seem to affect Tesla's sales. In Tesla's latest report, Tesla delivered a total of 90650 vehicles in the second quarter of 2020, down 5% from a year earlier, but far better than the double-digit decline of other automakers. In the Chinese market, the Model 3 produced by the Shanghai factory sold 11095 vehicles in May, making Tesla one of the most popular electric car brands in China.

Tesla's rising share price also reflects that he is favored by the outside world. By the close of trading on July 2, Tesla was up nearly 8%, with a total market capitalization of $224.177 billion, making it the largest carmaker by market capitalization, far surpassing Toyota's market capitalization of $174.807 billion. At the same time, after years of losses, Tesla has made a profit in his financial results for three consecutive quarters.

Of course, good sales and stock prices can not mask the quality of widespread complaints from users, workmanship problems can not be closed after all charging caps, too large gaps, misaligned body panels, is not acceptable to all users, and will even become a "joke" in the industry.
