Comment on Leaked Email Shows Elon Musk Demanding "Sub 10 Micron Accuracy” Cybertruck Parts
IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 1 year agoName one other auto industry CEO that makes engineering demands of this nature and lambasts employees on social media for not meeting them.
Without relying on Google etc. you probably couldn’t even name the CEO of Toyota, Honda, Ford, etc. And I seriously doubt they are making technical decisions for their cars. They rely on knowledgeable managers whose teams have decades of technical experience, and likely defer to those experts when they say something isn’t feasible.
Musk is acting like Homer Simpson when given the chance to design his own car. Screw the experts! He wants what he demands and won’t take “no” for an answer, no matter how bad his decisions are.

Hes been doing this since the first roadster, its the way Tesla operates. You can not argue with the success up to this point.

He didn’t even make the roadster.

Not to mention:
He’s been promising full self driving would be out of beta and readily available soon for over a decade now.
Cybertruck available in 2019.
one million Tesla robo-taxis by 2020.
Teslas will have a 600+ mile range very soon
And those are just some of his broken promises regarding Tesla, without even touching on widely held poor decisions like insisting on a “vision only” solution for full self driving, getting rid of the control stalks in the S and X in favor of touch controls on the wheel, etc.
And don’t get me started on the similar broken promises involving SpaceX, Twitter, Hyperloop, etc.
