To be clear, they could 100% meet those standards. It’s just going to cost them money in R&D and chew into their profit margins.

Came here to comment exactly this. More than likely no one is carrying balances that actually make GS money.

The residue should be minimal, you could be applying too much.

That was for your fridge, not for the SillyTruck

Oil based SS cleaners are the answer. We found one with coconut oil that works really well.

Too many to choose from:

100% disagree. Toyota pioneered TPS to reduce waste in general. Any life beyond the warranty can be considered waste. If the part needs to last 10 years, and you build a part that lasts 50 years, you’ve wasted capital.

I don’t know if it will. Very hard to quantify how a “repair” is done. Audi might say pull the engine to replace this little part, which makes the repair super expensive from a labor perspective. I don’t think most car makers are making it impossible to repair your car yourself, but they aren’t designed with ease of re…

Hot take: if it fails after the warranty period, the design engineer did their job correctly.

Most of these improvements are not things the average consumer could even notice. They are buried deep inside of things and you could look at two side by each and not know. It continues to make their cars less expensive to build (less parts and faster assembly) and they are using that to their advantage by applying…

Not to mention Tesla’s preference to do running changes to improve its manufacturing and assembly costs. They iterate much quicker than legacy OEMs, driving costs down quicker and improving margins through the model’s lifecycle.

No hatchback, no thank you.

My last two homes have had ethernet. 10/10 would recommend. Previous home I had the builder put in the max number of drops they would let me. I got to pick the locations, etc. All terminated to a punch panel in our laundry room.

Non tesla stan here, but remember when people were giving Tesla crap for not making a profit / having quality issues as they went through their manufacturing journey? We all heard stuff like “Once the OEMs get into this, they will be crushed” blah blah blah...

Also when it breaks down unexpectedly, you’ll need 6 people to keep up with its throughput, and that’s assuming they would have enough space / prep area. 

“needs no breaks”. Maintenance requires downtime, preferably planned, or the machine will plan it for you.
