Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds

  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

  They’re not being expected to design a whole new car from scratch though, are they.

  Tesla doesn’t do any of that, nor crash testing

    A quick search says they do crash testing, is this bullshit?

      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

  So how do they deal with routine and unexpected defects that every manufacturer deals with for every model?

    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.
