Build quality on the earlier cars was...spotty. And the service center fix for a lot of the rattling issues that afflicted early production cars was "apply more adhesive." There have been some issues reported with the giant glass on the Model X, but I think overall they're getting a lot better with this.
I'm going to have to let myself think about the design a bit. I don't love the Continental nose, but maybe I will get used to it. I'm kind of bummed about it not being a hatch, but I can see the trade-off between headroom and hatch space making that difficult--the Model S already has not so much headroom, esp. without the glass roof.
I'm not sure the glass roof will be standard. Did Musk address that?
I'm also not sure how I feel about the Prius-esque IP. I get the rationale for it, but I'm not sold on the idea that a speed display in the corner of that screen is enough. A HUD wouldn't surprise me, though.
Overall? I'd say it meets or exceeds what I was expecting in most respects. I don't think anything I've seen is a deal breaker. We'll see how it develops.
