Where did I say they have not produced vehicles? Re-read what I wrote. I will give you an example. Rear bumpers flying off Model 3's in the rain. Do you know how to fix that before production? Testing like the other manufactures do. But Tesla puts them in consumers hands and says, let us know what breaks and we will modify as we go.
A couple of owners reported it happening a year ago.
"A couple of owners" LOL
This was a design problem and it affects ALL model 3's.
In short the rear bumper facia was designed as a bathtub and had no way to drain water. So what did it do? Fill up and fell off! LMAO.
Then we have the front belly pan collecting a LOT of dirt and sand. Another design defect.
Yes a design issue, not a manufacturing issue. Like no other manufacturers ever have design issues with production vehicles. - Yosemite_Sam1Explorer

Wooho! Another Tesla thread. I'm just pulling up a chair...
Too much hate in the world....
I guess, some plan or will buy the electric pick up when it comes.
Some won't move from internal combustion into electric -- must be the descendent of those who remained in horse drawn buggy scared stiff of exploding new fangled cars.
Some liked to but can't afford it and envious of those of those who can.
And a few who just born Mr Magoo and a wet blanket.
Everything is well with the world then, lol. - philhExplorer II

In case anybody is interested, I would wager on a Rivian pickup being out before a Tesla. I am guessing that phil and mich800 would be picking Rivian as well. They have experienced supply chain and manufacturing expertise.
Ford has invested money in Rivian, and one of Ford's mfg executives was appointed to Rivian BoD. Tvov wrote:
Ya... was thinking maybe it could stay on topic of the pick-up.

And after 43 years Ford still can't produce a vehicle that won't take off on its own. lol - Turtle_n_PeepsExplorer

And Tesla has the lowest defect rate even compared against the veteran car makers in Detroit besting the quality freak Toyota.
Do you have a cite for that data? Bonus points if it's JD Power.
More than likely he is going to quote Teslarati or insideEV's. Maybe even Tusk himself! LOL
