Not really. They've improved on the 3, but people still routinely get some really wild tolerances on current Model 3s. And the Y has had an absolutely awful beginning of production, facing many of the same build quality problems that early Model 3s had.
Tesla is relying too much on buyer enthusiasm. As they expand into the mainstream, they need to avoid building a strong reputation of poor quality that will be really hard to shake.
I wouldn’t buy a Tesla. I don’t like the interiors, and like you said they've burned their reputation with me.
I was skeptical of how wide spread the the panel problems were with the 3’s initial rollout, until I examined the 3s in the parking lot at work. Every car was bad, including one that was a shockigly horrible.
