[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 4819571, member: 5053"] Build quality isn't the topic. It's kind of irrelevant. Customers don't care about it. Tesla's 4680 cell has far more energy density, much lower manufacturing cost, much longer life, and much better everything than anyone else has. And Tesla will be able to produce it in volume. Other people can build EV's. Tesla can build them cheaper in greater volume than anyone, by miles and miles. They're putting everything they have into the Machine That Builds The Machine. It's not about the cars. It's about the manufacturing. They've built the world's largest casting machines for single piece, or two piece car bodies. When other manufacturers use 180 parts and a gazillion welds, Tesla uses 1 piece and no welds. It's about speed and cost. That's why the cybertruck looks the way it does. It's not for aesthetics. it's for manufacturing. The car industry is starting to learn just how far behind it is. [/QUOTE]
