Hey everybody Rob mower here and today we are talking about Sandy Monroe's initial tear down of the model why.

0:12.7

I think he's, I don't know, maybe about halfway through or so now,

0:15.5

so I wanted to go through some of his takeaways so far.

0:18.4

And then as we close the week here,

0:19.9

we'll also talk a little bit about the stock performance today.

0:22.8

Starting out with the Model Y, though, this tear down from Sandy Monroe of Monroe and

0:26.1

was a statement that he made to Auto Line saying,

1:08.1

quote, the Fit and Finish is much, much better

1:10.4

than it was before, but there are still some flots."

1:12.8

What he's referring to here with fit and finish is essentially the size of the gaps

1:17.1

and the consistency in the size of the gaps throughout the vehicle.

1:20.6

The first part of that is that if you have inconsistent gaps things can be misaligned and then you can see that visually and it looks like it's poor quality.

But the second part of that which is probably a little bit more important is that those gaps being inconsistent can mean misalignment that may potentially lead to
