From interacting with other owners, I'd say there's little chance of that. I see a few anecdotal reports of major issues, but no more frequently than I've seen with some other major brands.

Although there are way more horror stories in dealing with service than there should be. They are really hard to contact and communicate with.

That's quite an extrapolation from what is likely to be a statistically insignificant number of data points.

If you interacted with a vast majority (including the majority that doesn't post on internet forums) of Tesla owners, this extrapolation might be valid. But I really feel like it's safe to assume that you don't.

They definitely had issues with the central screens bricking because of the eMMC failing due to excessive writes.

This is my current nightmare. I’m writing firmware for a flash chip for a consumer product and I’m totally paranoid about getting into some situation that triggers enough writes to brick the item :(

I just realized, now that you said this, that the doors may not be the only parts with gaps
