Comment on Tesla recalls 120,000 vehicles over potentially faulty doors that could open in a crash
VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 10 months agoPeople have died because of the price gouging?
No, because of the bad build quality, obviously.
For some reason, “fast, shoddily built and weighs two metric tons” isn’t great for avoiding faults that sometimes lead to fatalities.
Maybe think for a second more before you start ranting about someone else being ridiculous 🙄

The comment was bout the price / quality differential. Anyway, what data are you looking at that the build quality affects safety? I have only seen high safety ratings and build quality being about panel lines and interior material complaints etc, not safety.

For example, below is the kind of welding that passes muster at Tesla. The Tesla quality assurance as instituted by Musk himself is “don’t. It makes the wait lists shrink more slowly”.
Would you feel safe accelerating 0-60 in under 4 seconds in two tons of badly assembled steel? I sure wouldn’t! Image Image Image

Well, I’m more of a math and data kind of guy. I don’t drive a Tesla and likely never will but Tesla has exceeded safety test rankings beyond the vast majority of other manufacturers and has received numerous top accolades from very reputable safety sources. They may skimp on cosmetic quality, but their track record does not suggest they have on safety. But say what you want, my point here is that this is an echo chamber of nonsense and you will surely find the support you crave here.

Those were all in the beginning when they were new and trying to impress the world. To say standards have slipped since then is the understatement of the century.
Never trust a guy who says “I’m not a fan boy but” and then repeatedly brushes all criticism of what he’s pretending not to fanboy over as “echo chamber nonsense”. 😂
Especially not after him repeating PR talking points almost word for word for what would have been at least two paragraphs with better formatting 🙄
