They’re not being expected to design a whole new car from scratch though, are they.
Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds
WALLACE@feddit.uk 1 month agoCars are designed up to 5 years in advance. Usually the last 2 years before production is dedicated to endurance testing.

So how do they deal with routine and unexpected defects that every manufacturer deals with for every model?
SaraTonin@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Well, it was found that water pools in the chassis of the Cybertruck, corroding it. They dealt with this by telling consumers not to get it wet and make taking it through a carwash void the warrantee.

Fix them after 5 years of course! /s

They don’t have to redesign an entire car, just the internal parts of a door that are related to a handle, that in the past they made work mechanically btw, so no, 2 years is more than enough to redesign and start implementing it

Tesla doesn’t do any of that, nor crash testing
rabber@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
A quick search says they do crash testing, is this bullshit?
NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Of course they do crash testing, you can go watch videos of it if you want. That’s just a bot, or someone who knows fuck all.

You mean like that cybertruck shit made of rusting “stainless” steel and with no crumple zone?
Yeah, doubt it.
Who told you that? Elmo?

Top ranked for the people inside the cars. Not so safe for the people mining the material to replace cars that get totaled, etc. but most people don’t give enough of a fuck to count anyone but the occupants of the car

Won’t catch me dead driving a tesla but obviously they test safety in order to pass regulations lol
