Sadly, for you, the article does not say Tesla used tape in-lieu of heat-shrink tubing or even mention heat-shrink at all. It simply states a fact that "factory tape is high-quality and looks as if it’s shrink-wrapped on a part" to provide contrast to the product Tesla was using.
The usage of the tape, as suggested by the article, wasn't for electrical insulation or wiring protection.

Definitely does seem like a weird thing to base an article on especially when Tesla does lots of other things wrong.
