Brutal op-ed
Brutal indeed.
This is a spam blog. The real report is here:
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-musk-steering-suspension/
It pretty clearly states in the first paragraph that it’s a blog. It’s okay to post blogs. Moreover, the author specifically encourages reading the quoted Reuters report:
The Reuters piece is quite long, and earns its length with an incredible wealth of damning receipts, including internal Tesla communications making clear that the company has known about its own shoddy work for a long time, even as it deceived investors, regulators, and drivers. I urge you to read it for yourself.
Probably the best line I have read in any article this month:
I drove back and forth to a bookstore job in an ancient Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais so apocalyptically derelict that when I got pulled over for a busted taillight, the lady cop fixed me with sad eyes and asked “Is everything OK with you?”
This article is peppered with em.
The reason those companies, and not Tesla, know how to build cars that (in general) can drive from here to there without dropping a wheel or bursting into flames is not that they are staffed by a bunch of centenarian Lore Wizards who learned the secrets of auto manufacture back in nineteen-aught-dickity and now hide this sacred knowledge in a walled mountaintop abbey.
Fuck me, that’s good blogging!
They just felt like writing whatever they wanted for the headline huh?
How so? Doesn’t seem like much of a disconnect with the article as sometimes happens.
Teslas are known as the Panel Gap kings of the automotive industry, even in countries that still have clear memories of British Leyland where you were never even sure the doors on your car were actually meant for the model you bought.
The unvarnished truth?
