A lot of Tesla drivers, especially the early ones, are part of some kind of cult. Think about all the people who paid thousands of USD/Euro to buy a license to "Autopilot is coming in two weeks", to still haven't gotten any return on investment at all (over here in Europe it is not available at all).
And I am saying this having bought my Tesla three years ago.
Also, while their build quality is pretty terrible compared to oldschool car manufacturers, with the exception of Autopilot most of their build quality problems are not safety related. Think of the excellent Euro NCAP Safety test results, for example. It's more like that you know that if you buy a Tesla you can not expect the wipers to be any good at cleaning the window, or the doors not being aligned properly.
My impression is that Tesla has a very good QA, but with a policy of "we'll ignore all cosmetics".
Boeing on the other hand does appear to have completely broken QA processes in the safety sector. Their priorities might be the opposite of Tesla's. Kind of "It's OK if it explodes as long as it looks nice while doing so".
