If Tesla was an experienced main stream car maker and if they had designed their EV's using the template and designs they'd be accustomed to, they would have had less problems gearing up for production and with initial build quality.

But then their product would be as attractive as the Bolt. It would not be bad - but it would not have half a million people lining up to buy it either.

I see their problems as both inevitable and temporary.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
