If they built them higher quality throughout, they’d all cost over $100K and we’d all be pulling them with a semi tractor. Compromises have to be made in all consumer products.

Until the industry gets off the pay-per-piece scale, we'll continue to get mediocre quality, no matter how much any specific rig costs. If they have a quota of X units per day, make the workers take a full 8 hours to build them instead of paying them a "bonus" for knocking them out in 6 hours so they can go home.
