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.
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
