Well, you’re citing the example that proves the point... Intel spent 9-figure sums to code around, simulate, test and validate a single flaw in the FPU. It took them many months.

It’s a dialogue about “QA processes and managing running changes” in a modern automotive manufacturer.

It is a risk factor— given the history of Wild West decisions like Home Depot trim heat exchanger mounts, the eMMC fiasco, the build quality faults that caused two recalls today??

So Tesla delivered ~500K vehicles this year, and their latest recall is for ~477K vehicles. Knowing this is spread out over production years, that is a still a massive hit, essentially eliminating a years worth of production over a recall.

Everybody should read the sub-REDDIT written by the ex-Tesla software developers... it's a complete house of cards. 

I assure you that the interior of any car gets quite hot in Arizona in August... that’s where the MCU, stack, screens and drivers all live.

Because America is obsessed with being on the ‘winning side’ of pretty much all things. We are terrific at inventing a reason to fight someone. 

Elon Musk is a random fat cat.

Yeah, pretending that Tesla managed something well because they have good fundamentals or because they did something better than others has to be a joke.

Yeah I don’t get why so many people feel the need to “pick a side” when it comes to Tesla. Criticize when appropriate, congratulate when deserved, move on.

Tesla doesn’t own a Silicon Fab house, so both premises don’t hold up to scrutiny.

It works for Tesla for sure but that is due in large part to 2 things. 1, They don’t sell that many cars (both variety and total units)

First: from a QA perspective? “Re-writing mainline software on the fly” to code your way around chip issues? Is a terrible strategy that wouldn’t fly in a real company.

Leave it to some shitbrick Tesla Stan to think that the world revolves only to serve his needs. No, the rules won’t be changed for you. I’m especially incensed because Sonoma Raceway is my home dragstrip and the last thing I want to have to deal with there is more of these Tesla fuckos parading around like they own…

I feel like this is a clarion call to good writers to write more and to providers of content to pay those writers. As someone who works in PR, I know how easy it is to get darn near anything published by doing the writing and providing the content for free.

Yeah the whole “InsideEV” site is about fellating Tesla. Their comment section is just as toxic.

Hasn't that rule been in place for decades? But hey, stans gonna stan.

To add to the fun, most vehicles as fast as a Model S Stupid Edition weigh literally thousands of pounds less. That much mass at that high of a speed makes for large holes in the scenery *when* something goes wrong.

The InsideEV article and the video that spawned it has to be “just for the clicks”, so I ain’t clicking on either.
