i hesitate to think that this may be the start of "the happening" for tesla but as someone who works in manufacturing qa (which is less intense than automotive qa by a factor of 10), some of the poo poo i've seen come out of those factories i can guarantee they are fudging their qa approvals bigly, or having the qa rejections overridden by management. and the recalls will eat them whole panel gaps? sure. using home depot linoleum for your battery tray, cut with a box cutter? fuggetaboutit

Tesla seems to have some of the best technology and innovation inside a car company that doesn't know how to build cars. And they're run by a nutjob. Other than that, great company.

lightpole posted:What the gently caress, buy backs are an extremely questionable use of capital. Bit coins? A manufacturing company that hasn't made a profit, unable to find a practical use for capital and going with $1.5 billion in bit coins. Memes used to parody life but life now parodies memes. Wait you think it's weird the dude who spent his south African precious stones billions on digital currency is parody? He "founded" PayPal. He's always been hiding his money in the cloud.

These days tesla customers have to accept their deliveries without actually getting to look inside or test drive the car, they've gotten rid of their 7 day no quibble return policy plus they axed a fair bit of their QC department in like 2019. I'm sure these are all unrelated.

What innovation and tech are they using that makes them the best? gently caress Tesla, I'm not too well-versed on their intricacies, and it was more to set up the punchline. I more mean that Tesla did a lot of high-tech interface and general electric car stuff first, or at least first in a mass-market kind of way, in said stupidest way possible. Now the big automakers are catching on, catching up, and eliminating a lot of the dumb. I guess my best example would be autopilot, where Tesla was like ELON'S STRONG DADDY CAR DRIVES ITSELF as it murders pedestrians and garbage cans. Now the big automakers have lane assist, automatic braking, and they just so happen to give it to you inside a functional car.

Musk pushed the fast charging infrastructure and built his battery factory, as well as other basic parts to increase the viability of electric cars. Tesla arguably brought electric vehicles mainstream, doing a lot of the grunt work to get them accepted. They also changed the way people thought about cars and electrical infrastructure. It's possible to be both visionary and complete poo poo. First movers don't always reap the benefits and in this case everyone figured the legacy car companies wouldn't be able to come up to par with Tesla despite their cash and experience doing so.

Musk showed up an at a small company that already had a winning product (the Roadster) with a big bag of cash and pushed the founders out. Everything he’s done since then has been to squander cash yet keep attracting even more from investors. It’s not wrong to say that Tesla was important to the BEV renaissance, but it would have been better with almost anyone else at the helm.

Im kind of curious now if there is research to determine increased risk from snowfall gathered in the shoulder to cause vehicle launching, which is a thing we talk about with curb heights all the time. Might have a look at the TRB and report back. Syrian Lannister posted:My dad was contacted by the health dept, he's getting one by the end of the month. I'm still on a list.

Don Dongington posted:Here in Western Australia, we had a single security guard from a quarantine hotel test positive to the UK strain 2 weeks ago, after having been among the population - no confirmed community transmission - and they locked the entire region and two neighbouring regions down for 5 days - no non-essential travel, full mask mandate, schools closed on the first week of term and daycare only for essential workers. For the next 2 weeks, masks are mandatory in public for adults and high school students unless eating, drinking or exercising alone, and you cannot enter a public place without signing a log book or checking in via an app for contact tracing purposes or risk a massive fine. They tested tens of thousands of people during the last week, and a handful of wingnuts were arrested for not wearing masks. We try to overthrow the government when people try to force us to wear a piece of cloth on our face in public, we're kind of out of the box at this point.

If you're gonna drive that piece of poo poo in Atlanta, go to the top deck where nobody cares if you park like absolute poo poo  edit: I absolutely believe if that if you have need for a truck bigger than a suzuki mighty boy you have to haul some amount of tonnage a year beyond people.
