This tweet is an example: Quicker and better handling? With brakes that are far worse then a F150? Beat them on a track? Tesla will only beat them by going off the track faster then a BMW M3 because of brake failures. Now issues with braking, controls, and ride quality. The only thing that comes back all the time is: we will fix that problem.
This is from January, so an early car, from a real car guy. The most emotional part of it he says "I'm digging it". He was going to hold onto reservation #2 for his own. Minimal mention of brake issues, even from a car guy...
Elon gets nervous and copies Trump's behavior on Twitter: Tesla is the only "car manufacturer" that gets so many negative reactions. http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-slams-media-in-a-twitter-rant-2018-5 http://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-challenges-in-2018-2018-4

I don't even car about the car itself, it is the company's business practice that is questionable. Non-GAAP reporting, constant over promising and not making profits. (aka losing shit ton) The car is really secondary...
"seeing VIN assignment rates of about 1,155 per week for the Model S, 1,015 per week for the Model S, and 1,600 per week for the Model 3. That would mean Tesla produces 48,500 cars in Q2, while delivering only about 37,900, yielding an addition of 10,600 cars to inventory." https://seekingalpha.com/article/4176862-teslas-model-3-going-need-bigger-parking-lot There goes the 2K+ per week production. The main reason is withholding the 200Kth car sales in the US until July. They still gonna make more just going to put them in parking lots. As I mentioned earlier, I doubt they will ever make much more than 3K per week. There is simply not enough demand for a car that is 45K+dollars.
Can't anybody write for seeking alpha? How would Pravda judge this article? Bloomberg says 2872 per week. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-tesla-tracker/
