They don’t have to redesign an entire car, just the internal parts of a door that are related to a handle, that in the past they made work mechanically btw, so no, 2 years is more than enough to redesign and start implementing it
Of course they do crash testing, you can go watch videos of it if you want. That’s just a bot, or someone who knows fuck all. Their cars are always top ranked in crash saftey.
Top ranked for the people inside the cars. Not so safe for the people mining the material to replace cars that get totaled, etc. but most people don’t give enough of a fuck to count anyone but the occupants of the car
I mean… if they didn’t test their cars, they really must have the best engineers in the world, being able to go from just engineering plans to getting a 5 star saftey rating at all the agencies. Those engineers would be worth their weight in gold lol.
I read the article, and I’m calling bullshit on the excuses they’re putting up. The fact that they usually prefer a five year cycle, does not mean that it’s difficult to change the handles on the doors in two years if you need to.
Redesigning the handle by 2027 is stupid easy. I have an masters in mechanical engineering, this could be done with mostly off the shelf parts. Tesla is being a bitch like normal.
Your skill doesn’t translate into supply chain management, testing timelines, manufacturing setups, all that. Dad was a civil engineer. Didn’t mean he could run a road laying company.
Shit. Forgot where I was. My post is sucking Elon’s dick and excusing Tesla for fuck ups.
FFS, the issues I’m citing are in the article and they’re not quotes from Tesla. Lay off the fucking witch hunt.
so in your mind, what happens when a recall occurs and some defective part is replaced with another part? do you think they run these replacements through all your supply chain management testing setups all that huh?
or they don’t replace the defects?
?
no, this happens all the time. it allows manufacturers to respond to systems that didn’t age well, or didn’t stand up to public users, or children, or was unsafe in a way that didn’t present itself during testing. these things happen. manufacturers make adjustments, replace parts, change software, and put it back out on the road.

Unironically yes, you’re all over this story flooding the zone with shit to try discrediting the whole thing, despite having nothing of substance to offer beyond asserting that nobody knows anything except for you and Elon.
I’m calling corpo lobbied bullshit. 2 years is enough time to put a normal door handle on your car.
they got lazy, they fully adopted the electronic one, and dint want to “waste money” bringing back the old one, in thier recent and future models.
Cars are designed up to 5 years in advance. Usually the last 2 years before production is dedicated to endurance testing.
They don’t have to redesign an entire car, just the internal parts of a door that are related to a handle, that in the past they made work mechanically btw, so no, 2 years is more than enough to redesign and start implementing it
So how do they deal with routine and unexpected defects that every manufacturer deals with for every model?
Fix them after 5 years of course! /s
They’re not being expected to design a whole new car from scratch though, are they.
Tesla doesn’t do any of that, nor crash testing
A quick search says they do crash testing, is this bullshit?
Of course they do crash testing, you can go watch videos of it if you want. That’s just a bot, or someone who knows fuck all. Their cars are always top ranked in crash saftey.
You mean like that cybertruck shit made of rusting “stainless” steel, with no crumple zone and a body that reflects the sun in other drivers eyes?
Yeah, doubt it. They aren’t even legal in Europe because of safety.
Who told you that? Elmo?
Lol dude, the cybertruck is a 5 star rated vehicle.

It’s the one of the safest trucks for occupants in crashes ever built.
Yeah but fuck the victims this 7000lb tank crashes into right?
Cybertruck does not meet EU minimal safety standards. NHTSA is a joke.
Top ranked for the people inside the cars. Not so safe for the people mining the material to replace cars that get totaled, etc. but most people don’t give enough of a fuck to count anyone but the occupants of the car
Won’t catch me dead driving a tesla but obviously they test safety in order to pass regulations lol
I mean… if they didn’t test their cars, they really must have the best engineers in the world, being able to go from just engineering plans to getting a 5 star saftey rating at all the agencies. Those engineers would be worth their weight in gold lol.

The problem is not the handle, it’s the fact the mechanism only works with 12V DC power.

I work in supply chain and manufacturing now lol. Tesla is a major fuck up of a company.
I worked with some of their engineers after they left and they aren’t very bright.
Well fuck it, I guess I’m ready to take the next step in my radicalization.
The best wording I can think of is late stage capitalism. Someone should be eating their lunch
No dude, your post acts like this couldn’t be anticipated, never mind reported on for years.
Seriously, how many models did Tesla need to figure this out for? They didn’t have a plan 2 years ago?
Idk, “off the shelf parts” seemed pretty clear
