But that doesn’t explain why Lee has anything to do with it. If the conviction is no more why does Lee have anything to do with Syed? I get that Lee might be invested in the idea that Syed is to blame, but he is not the judge or a jury. So why does he need time to be there at all. If she had no family at all, this would be over.

I understand the what, just not the why.

I can believe that. Had a model S plaid come in to my shop to swap some all season tires on before winter. He had about 300 miles on it. Before we started he was concerned about a ride height error he was getting sometimes. We lifted it and found the ride height sensor on the driver front wasn’t even secured. Had lock tight on the bolt, but no nut had ever been attached. The bad thing was, once we lifted it and lowered it, it dropped to the ground because it couldn’t figure out what it’s ride height was. I advised him to take it in its current condition back to Tesla. If I would have secured it, they would have had a way to say they didn’t find anything. I was majorly concerned about fit and finish before that, but now I’m concerned about safety items as well.

That's the thing, had they actually addressed or fixed the quality control issues, I wouldn't have minded so much. Still wouldn't be buying one, but I'd respect that they at least solved the problem. I just don't think they can sell Teslas at a competitive price without cheaping out on something, and I'd imagine some of that is labor/quality control.

They're still an incredibly new player to the market, so would make sense that anything they try to do would be as expensive, if not more than their competitors who can scale a lot better and have longer relationships with other businesses. Letting build quality go to shit isn't the correct way to keep prices competitive IMO, especially with a 2-ton moving vehicle.

The materials themselves aren't poor quality, and I'd imagine the engineering (on paper) would work. The major issue is quality control. Doesn't matter if your seat belt can stop an elephant, if the dude building the thing doesn't follow the right steps or get it to the correct tolerances, it's not going to work anyway.

Your level is either trolling or blindingly delusional.

I responded with childish insults because frankly you have not shown either the intelligence or emotional maturity to respond to anything else.

The rest of your comment proves my point that you either willfully ignore facts or don't understand why you're wrong and are incapable of learning. So I hope you have a nice life, but I'm not here to teach you the things your middle school teachers failed to teach you, so this conversation is over.
