I read the article, and I’m calling bullshit on the excuses they’re putting up. The fact that they usually prefer a five year cycle, does not mean that it’s difficult to change the handles on the doors in two years if you need to.
Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds

Redesigning the handle by 2027 is stupid easy. I have an masters in mechanical engineering, this could be done with mostly off the shelf parts. Tesla is being a bitch like normal.

Your skill doesn’t translate into supply chain management, testing timelines, manufacturing setups, all that. Dad was a civil engineer. Didn’t mean he could run a road laying company.
Shit. Forgot where I was. My post is sucking Elon’s dick and excusing Tesla for fuck ups.
FFS, the issues I’m citing are in the article and they’re not quotes from Tesla. Lay off the fucking witch hunt.

so in your mind, what happens when a recall occurs and some defective part is replaced with another part? do you think they run these replacements through all your supply chain management testing setups all that huh?
or they don’t replace the defects?
?
no, this happens all the time. it allows manufacturers to respond to systems that didn’t age well, or didn’t stand up to public users, or children, or was unsafe in a way that didn’t present itself during testing. these things happen. manufacturers make adjustments, replace parts, change software, and put it back out on the road.

I work in supply chain and manufacturing now lol. Tesla is a major fuck up of a company.
I worked with some of their engineers after they left and they aren’t very bright.

Well fuck it, I guess I’m ready to take the next step in my radicalization.
The best wording I can think of is late stage capitalism. Someone should be eating their lunch

Unironically yes, you’re all over this story flooding the zone with shit to try discrediting the whole thing, despite having nothing of substance to offer beyond asserting that nobody knows anything except for you and Elon.

No dude, your post acts like this couldn’t be anticipated, never mind reported on for years.
Seriously, how many models did Tesla need to figure this out for? They didn’t have a plan 2 years ago?

Idk, “off the shelf parts” seemed pretty clear

The problem is not the handle, it’s the fact the mechanism only works with 12V DC power.
