Just in case anyone thinks this is a problem with Teslas, I have driven mine through several dozen heavy rainstorms and even a hurricane and my Tesla does just fine in that.

And as everyone knows, science is comprised of my personal experience.

    I don't think anyone thinks this is a universal problem with Teslas. It's just a possible case of quality control failure. That said, quality control has been a problem lately.

    Quality control is a problem with every product. Once you reach a certain point it just makes more financial sense to fix any issues when they're discovered and reported by the consumer rather than going over it with a microscope. Most consumers don't care about panel gaps.

    Until someone completes and publishes a scientific study on the matter, and compares them to other OEMs, I'll continue to assume that these are just anecdotes from click-hungry publications that know anything to do with Tesla or Elon drives clicks, because everyone I know and every Tesla I've seen (with the exception of S/X) is totally fine.
