Also, their big leap in tech development was literally due to state-directed policy. Samsung and LG were textiles producers and the like until the government mandated they get into technology. Literally a centrally planned economy. What not reading Ha-Joon Chang does to a mfer.

And it was an export only economy! A whole generation of South Koreans built TVs they legally couldn't own.

(S.K. is a rare and interesting case of successful democratization. The military dictatorship grudgingly allowed the formation of unions, strong courts, etc, even if they ignored/disappeared any judge or unionist who tried to apply the law to them. The result was a robust civil society ready to take over when the last dictator stepped down.)

Elon likes design that makes construction cheaper/faster. Once it's out the door, repair/maintenance is no longer his problem.

This is why insurance on Teslas is getting so expensive, to cover average cost of repair.

Move fast and break things! Kind of wonder if you're better off putting something after market on instead of that OEM wing with exposed holes or a simple cover over the holes to avoid the whole cutting shenanigans. The few spoilers I've encountered were accessible via pulling weather stripping in the trunk.

it's actually insanely rad that tesla started from a completely blank slate without the near century of accumulated experience the legacy automakers put towards ideas like "not making load bearing suspension parts out of cast garbage metal" and "creating wheel wells without 10 different types of fastener and 5 different panels"

Elon's models are named S, 3, X, and Y, because he's based. and ftw.

also there may be a CT in there but not quite sure how it fits with the previous naming convention yet. elon will enlighten me.

I think you’re better off getting an extra spoiler to cover up the broken glass under your spoiler

This is like cell phone poo poo, if you do it perfectly you can reuse the piece but usually it all breaks and gets hosed up

this is definitely the procedure the guy in the video is trying to do, but he fucks it up at the beginning and then shifts into "gently caress it" mode

lmao at thinking you can use a reciprocating blade to cut off a panel without ruining the panel

this mechanic is a dumbass :rolleyes:

all you had to do was destroy the ends of the spoiler to get at the four screws. he didn't have to rip the whole thing apart - fake news/FUD IMHO
