I don't think a lot of those things are where Tesla really struggles with quality that'll impact the customer. Just production delays and cost.

I'd be pretty surprised if the power train is a problem as that's their specialty.

Same with the electronics, those don't usually have problems except the electronic door handles that the Cybertruck won't have.

I'll be pretty surprised if the steel doesn't cause QC problems, and I'm half expecting that massive windshield wiper to be a problem somehow.

Maybe the air suspension will be problematic, and probably the powered tonneau cover.
