Tesla is facing issues with the bare metal construction of the Cybertruck, which Elon Musk warned was as tricky to do as making Lego bricks

You're viewing a single thread.
A Saturday morning lemmy comment section has more engineering skill than a $1T automaker, apparently.
$1T means nothing if the CEO has mush for a brain lol
Name one other auto industry CEO that makes engineering demands of this nature and lambasts employees on social media for not meeting them.
Without relying on Google etc. you probably couldn’t even name the CEO of Toyota, Honda, Ford, etc. And I seriously doubt they are making technical decisions for their cars. They rely on knowledgeable managers whose teams have decades of technical experience, and likely defer to those experts when they say something isn’t feasible.
Musk is acting like Homer Simpson when given the chance to design his own car. Screw the experts! He wants what he demands and won’t take “no” for an answer, no matter how bad his decisions are.
Hes been doing this since the first roadster, its the way Tesla operates. You can not argue with the success up to this point.
He didn't even make the roadster.
Not to mention:
-
He’s been promising full self driving would be out of beta and readily available soon for over a decade now.
-
Cybertruck available in 2019.
-
one million Tesla robo-taxis by 2020.
-
Teslas will have a 600+ mile range very soon
And those are just some of his broken promises regarding Tesla, without even touching on widely held poor decisions like insisting on a “vision only” solution for full self driving, getting rid of the control stalks in the S and X in favor of touch controls on the wheel, etc.
And don’t get me started on the similar broken promises involving SpaceX, Twitter, Hyperloop, etc.

Imagine being a musk simp. Jfc. Grow up.
I don't have to be in the space program to know that Pluto is pretty far away and I don't have to be a mechanical engineer to know the implementing exacting tolerances like this both in house and from external suppliers is going to drive costs through the roof just so his truck can look like a 90s wireframe model driving a literal information superhighway. With that being said, if you have better info I'd love to hear it. I just don't think you do. I think you started with the assumption that Musk is some sort of gigagenius and then tried to make the inference from there that anything he says and does must be the right thing to say and do, and that anyone who criticizes him just isn't following his hyperdimensional chess gambit.
lol
Ah, so no better info.
Musk isn't an auto maker. He's an idiot who owns a company.
Why would that not be the case?
