I wonder what the increase in demand will do for Tesla's quality control. They are not known to be dependable cars and I can only see an increase in production being a bad thing for them right now.

I'm not sure it's a quality control issue. I think the problems with the Model S are engineering/design issues, which often don't present themselves until MANY miles have been put on a car (or until miles have been put on MANY cars). I would have to assume that they've learned a lot of lessons with the S, and that many of the issues can be engineered and designed away (assuming a lot of the tech is the same).

I know many people avoid "all-new" models from any manufacturer, and prefer to buy models that are in their 2nd or 3rd year of production. This way the year 1 kinks get worked out, and it's before the year 4 and 5 cost-saving measures start getting put in.
