Even for all that is correct to criticize about Tesla's build quality, the batteries do hold up a while;
Even Tesla's warranty cites 70% capacity after 8 years / 120k miles, which roughly tracks with real world results.
Although I'd never buy one, the battery seems to be one of the least issue prone areas; usually people cite interior/exterior build quality, a total lack of serviceability and software issues as the main things when it comes to Teslas.
We used to receive the US-built Tesla's, and now we receive a mix from the Chinese and US factories. The Chinese ones are way better built. Even the options from MG and BYD are impressive. But it's not all great though, GWM Ora that many journalists are going on about is... Less than acceptable when it comes to quality.
