"We need to cut costs! Why are we spending extra to drill these stupid holes all over the vehicle?"

"Sir, that's a drain h—"

"Yeah, I don't care what they are, I want them gone, or you're fired."

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

And other such great hits like "why are you using six bolts to hold these together? Can't we do it with two? Do it with two." The man is an imbecile.

The problem is you aren’t thinking like a billionaire. When your Nazi truck catches on fire when it rains and kills your customer, the company gets to sell a new Nazi truck to your customer’s child. That doubles every sale and potentially triples once the grandchildren are of driving age.

Actual reason Elon Musk pushes for higher birth rates?

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 25 points 1 month ago

Why stop there? Drop the driving age. Get rid of licenses and insurance. Mandatory vehicle ownership? Make it easier to sell to more.

Jesus Fuck.

I had to look it up.

It actually does void the warranty.

So not only are you not allowed to sell them (your own property) within the first year of buying one. But you also can't take it through a carwash?

And you have to pay $80k starting for one?

Man, I already thought the people who owned them were dumb. But holy fuck. Why would you do that to yourself?

What about if it rains. Or like…you clean it yourself??

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 70 points 1 month ago

Owners are expected to lick their cars.
Most do it without knowing it's mandatory.

Hanlon's razor says this is stupidity, but I love the thought of a malicious engineer.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

I'd like to imagine that an engineer or designer got burned for pointing out issue with the CT, and after that they decided to just "yes man" Elon.

Wanna tow stuff with it, but also have a cast Aluminum frame? Sure thing!

You want capacitive sensors on the exterior of the vehicle? GENIUS!

Reduce weakpoints in the frame by not putting in drain holes? We won't worry about rust because it's made of stainless steel and aluminum? Eureka!

[–] match@pawb.social 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe they all designed the swasticar as a joke / training for what not to do

Is the entire frame just cast aluminum!? It legitimately looks like he had his rocket engineers build this one.

You can't get more disparate inspection/maintenance schedules than aerospace vs. Automotive.

[–] pi3r8@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I read the biography of him and yes, it's molded in one piece (or was at the time of the book from memory) it was inspired by the bottom of a toy car. The issue of water ingress was apparently brought up but he didn't think it would be an issue.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

I doubt there was significant concern for fretting/fatigue here. These frames look like they're almost intended to last only 5yr.

[–] lemming741@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're all-in on these large monolithic aluminum castings. He has branded it giga casting. I've always assumed it was to make them non-repairable.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Well you can engineer a fatigue life with aluminum so if your goal is to prevent a second hand market and promote car as a service it's one way to go.

E: I'm aware of the software and other subscription stuff they do.

I'm sorry, I'm normally on your side on this issue but calling it a "swastidumpster" is tasteless and makes you look bad. even if you want to liken it to a dumpster please use the correct term, which is a dumpstika.

Did y’all see the bit about the space x rocket being less effective of the oldest rockets made. Calculation error means it can only take up 400 tons of the 1000 it supposed to. No way to fix it. NASA did it better.

Its so poorly made it's not allowed in europe. And normal teslas had issues getting allowed to be sold in Finland cause they are just built to such a low standard. You are getting scammed when you get a tesla.

Good for the american criminals, I guess, since the police departments using Teslas might be prone to shorting out on pursuits during heavy rain, I guess.

Until a few years ago, every $500 Tesla door handle had over a dozen contact switches, motors, microprocessors, and other points of failure, all exposed to moisture and thermal cycling.

Now they just have 2 motors, a couple hall effect sensors, and a microprocessor encased in plastic so they're 10x cheaper to make and don't fail nearly as much, but still cost $500.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You can't take those things though car washes? I heard you can only use touchless, but that's probably even more water than a brushy one.

Maybe the people who bought one should complain to a consumer watch dog agency.

Oh, wait. Do those even exist anymore?

I love that for every bozo who bought one in Florida now the we're about to enter hurricane season in a few months.

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 18 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Not a problem! They got rid of NOAA so that means no more hurricane seasons
