Also why does a Tesla even need service other than a quick safety check. It’s not like the brake pads should be worn fast with regen and there’s no oil to change.

What electric cars do not have are timing belts, sparkplugs, fuel pumps --otherwise ICE propulsion are pretty reliable.
People can go from mega hype-person to mega detractor quite fast.
Those sentiments trail any actual improvements for a long time.
The cars from their newer factories have generally better quality.
And even so, when looking at QC report Telsa might not be great, but its not really an order magnitude off to anybody else either.
So to suggest they should stop growing to fix QC is just delusional and literally nobody, not even you as CEO would do so.
Why does any massively complicated machine need service? Because things break.
I humbly submit that electronic parts might actually be less reliable than mechanical parts.
"36% of Model 3 buyers in Q1 2022 didn't have any service visits during the first 30 days of ownership while 54% had one and 10% had two visits."
Only a minority of Model 3 buyers get a car that isn't broken in the first month.
Because the initial build quality of the cars is still so poor they come broken, or quickly break.
