Compare that to when GM and Ford have quality issues, even with pre-production builds, and everyone and their mother crucifies them.
What are you even talking about? You have model 3s? How does the industry "actually" work? Are you inferring the subsidies that Ford and GM got? Or the outdated dealer-model? I think Ford and GM had their a$$es handed to them in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s and they are only just realizing it now that information is so easy to come by. That's why they are finally able to make decent cars, vs. the "american car" being a joke compared to anything else across the world. And if they are looking forward to the future, it's going to happen again.
