This is also a point against online ordering cars - if I can walk into a car dealership, inspect and test drive the car before committing to buying it, that helps everyone - I can have peace of mind, dealership or manufacturer can fix identified defects before putting the car out again and the process works - manufacturer has incentives to ship as perfect a product as they can considering the dealer is putting their money on the line, Dealers can address minor defects in the pre delivery inspection etc.
None of that is possible with Tesla's model - they basically have to get a car looking thing out the door as fast as they can, there's no dealership to cross check and the customer is left with the pieces or the option of waiting in the hope that next one will be better.
