Europe has better fuel, due to generally more stringent requirements with regards to emissions.

Mhm, even when prices are at outrage levels in the US it’s probably half the price of what it typically sells for in Europe.

The quality is a little better, though (e.g. less sulfur, typically of a higher octane rating).

Aha! So you’re responsible for the brown spots on my lawn?! It’s alright, now that I know it was in good faith.

Tesla is in a league of its own when it comes to quality control issues.

Tesla in Norway set up a paint shop to repaint Model S cars as they arrived, since some had such a thin coat of paint you could see through to the primer.

My nephew, on picking up his new Model 3, was asked to walk around the car and highlight trim defects and panel gaps he would like them to fix/improve.

A friend of mine’s Model X had such poor welds in places it quickly developed cracks in the rear door jamb areas. Tesla called it normal and so he ended up stripping down the car and rewelded these areas himself.

There are so many stories out there, and I feel like Tesla was given a pass by the press/people because “oooh, electric, exciting, much nice, so environmentally friendly”.
