Because it’s freaken bullshit. I am not even a car guy or a mechanical engineer but just by osmosis I have picked up enough knowledge that this is a rust bucket.
It needs gaskets, it needs primer, it needs paint, and it needs whatever magic anti-corrosion spray the auto makers use. Also it needs to be able to go into a carwash and not get bricked. This is stuff the auto industry figured out before my grandparents were born and yet his insufferable ego didn’t want to hear it.
So now everyone involved is losing their jobs except the one asshole who caused this mess to begin with. These are real people, they have spouses, kids, bills, hopes, careers, and other dependents. It’s easy to mock the rich morons who bought into this con it should give us all pause to think of the kids those auto workers have. By all accounts Tesla works people to insanity. Think of all those people who were terrified into unpaid overtime during their prime years with nothing to show for it but food stamps, messed up health, and a piece of crap that can’t go through a car wash.
Yeah I am taking this personally. I have been on projects that were broken by the incompetence and ego of a single person. I had to give it my all on a project that failed that shouldn’t have failed.
Carwash did not brick the car. Not being in a carwash mode caused the centre screen to go dark, everything else worked normally. This was likely due to water in the charging port. When the owner then tried to hard reset the vehicle there was a bug (that has now been patched) that caused the reset to take hours instead of minutes. The car was back up and running the next day with zero permanent damage.
I have seen with my own eyes control panels made of 304 corrode without touching a different metal.
I believe you. I’m just not sure why you’re telling me this. At no point have I claimed that stainless steel is immune to corrosion.
