That's not a bug. That's not even poor build quality. That is crappy/cheap design. I don't pretend to know what kind of testing Tesla did, but I can tell you that you almost never trust adhesives long-term unless they are epoxies. No double sided tape exists that I would trust in the nightmarish application that is a vehicle. It has to work at -50F. It has to work at 150F. And it has to do so with endless thermal cycles and variations in humidity. Ugh.
I would have expected people in the middle east or Scandinavia to bitch after two or more years. Not within a month and in reasonable weather.
Maybe I'm blowing it out of proportion, but this detail is a bad sign to me.
