The thing is, you can order the clear coat and it solves all the issues, for an extra 6k.

I don't know if it's worse if Tesla didn't know how easy stainless steel could get fucked up, or if they knew but wanted to keep sticker price down.

Like, for them to legitimately not know, it means there was virtually no testing done. And if that wasn't tested, almost nothing else was. If they had just driven it significantly out in the real world, they'd have noticed this.

They chose the specific steel alloy. There are many alloys that are either better to work with or far more corrosion resistant, and they picked the alloy they did. They chose to walk in to these problems.

Dissect that how you will.

Because they want that extra $6k. Of course they knew.

Of course they never tested it. Did you see the glass demo in 2019?

A friend who worked at Tesla for a little while swore Elon was told by the engineering team that the window would break if he tried that and he just didn’t believe them. Not sure if it’s true, but if it is that’s honestly worse than poor testing imo

As a programmer let me just say that testing is for losers.

Was working for a shitty marketing agency at some point. Asked how they tested for bugs. Answer: "we don't make bugs!".

Narrator: they did, and in large numbers.

The glass breaking isn't as bad as this. They could have plausibly just not tested one specific thing. Still bad tho.

If they didn't notice the corrosion, that means they weren't taking the same "truck" out, like if they'd have just racked up 1,000 miles on one in real world conditions, it would have been incredibly obvious. Especially because after testing like that (really way more miles than that) is tearing it all down and seeing how it held up.

These things may have a failure at 10k miles that a $1 piece would have fixed. But no one's gonna know till they get there

I took my cyber truck out and got almost 60% of the advertised range before it died on the highway. Impressed!

[-] Maven@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

You got 60% that's SO IMPRESSIVE!
