Whilst a slightly tongue in cheek comment, let's not forget that Musk's other company makes human-rated spaceships ....

Quality is exactly what they choose it to be (i.e. what they think they need to do to produce something to a price point where it makes money).

Whilst I'm not 100% sold on Hill, don't underestimate the value of vertical integration, particularly in Aerospace - above example, see how much per kg the cost of an orbital launch has come down since SpaceX entered the market. A lot of that is due to vertical integration, only some of it is due to reusability.
