Tesla doesn’t market their cars as exceptionally repairable, I don’t think that repairability was an engineering priority. Prioritizing certain product attributes above others is not “shoddy engineering”, it is part of the normal textbook engineering process.
The project management triad is a relationship between Cost, Quality, and Timeline. Elon wanted to be the first-to-market with an affordable modern electric car. And he accomplished exactly that.
Ah yes, prioritizing important features like crashing into things at high speed, remotely making the car a brick if it gets written off, writing an unnecessary amount of data to flash until it wears out, misaligned panels. Just what are people actually paying for here? A shit experience?
My comment wasn’t an invitation to shit on Tesla. They make a product that’s different than other products. Some things people like, some things people don’t. The same applies to anything ever made. Nobody has ever made a perfect product for everyone.
I drive a Toyota, but I know why people drive Teslas. I’m not them. They’re not me.
