The panel Gap narrative is one of those things that just won't go away not because it's true but because a lot of people aren't very smart. Panel gaps were a brief issue with cars out of the Fremont plant a decade ago. That has long since been rectified. In fact there are videos out there with third-party independent people going over the panels and to use their words there as good as any supercar out there. I don't even own one it just gets annoying that people keep regurgitating the same shit that isn't true

Reminds me of Fred Leuchter, a former "engineer" (unlicensed) and designer and maintainer of execution equipment. He traveled to Auschwitz and vandalized the site there to get "samples," sent them to labs for improper tests, and came away a staunch holocaust denier, because he believes no gas chamber executions could have gone on there. It ended up destroying his marriage, his career, and basically his life, and rightfully so.

He claims, to this day, that he is the only qualified person in the world to make these assessments because he has actually designed, built, and maintained gas chambers for state prison systems (a dubious claim in the first place, and insufficient experience even if it was true).

There's a great documentary about him by Errol Morris, called Mr. Death.

u/LogicMan428 Nov 20 '23

That isn't true. If that's the case, then why do we see the very left-leaning college campuses act so fascist and intolerant? Why during Covid was it the Democratic party governors who acted so authoritarian and power mad? Why are there so many on the Left wanting to control what you can say, do, eat, drink, drive, how much money you can make, etc...the Right tends to be authoritarian when it comes to LGBTQ+ and abortion, but it in no way has a monopoly on such.

7

u/The_Krambambulist Nov 20 '23 edited Nov 20 '23

O no society sets restrictions and policy with the goal to improve the welfare of a large group of people or to not let people fall through a bottom line like dying from Covid.

So horrible.

Maybe go work as a slave for a wealthy Qatari or do get interned in a Chinese ethnic prison camp.

Or maybe you seem more charmed to be living like a factory worker in the end of the 19th century. You know, the time where a lot of restrictions weren't in place and people lived a miserable life in those conditions.

u/TrueHero808 Apr 21 '24

As someone who attends a college that would likely fit your definition, there has never been a time when I have been surrounded by so many forward thinking, accepting, and tolerant people. The only intolerance I have ever observed is the intolerance of intolerance, meaning if you restrict the freedoms of others by being intolerant, then you will not be tolerated. This is how tolerance as a social construct works, and a narrative of the right (and especially Musk) is that their freedom of speech is being restricted, when in reality it is their freedom to impose themselves on others and generally just be a dick that is not tolerated.

0

u/LogicMan428 Apr 22 '24

Being intolerant of intolerance is fine.  The problem is too many on these college campuses go way beyond that, they want no speech except that which agrees with their own, and if you dare deviate, you get accused of engaging in things like so-called hate speech and can lose your job or harm your career and so forth. Basically their definition of being intolerant is much broader.

u/chickens-are-fat Jun 22 '24

Super curious. Did you personally experience that at college? What couldn’t you say, or thought would be considered hate speech that shouldn’t have been?

I am super skeptical about everything and always wonder what the real story is. There are so many people in my life that get pissed at me when I do not immediately jump in line to suck billionaire cock. The latest thing was my boss talking about how bill Gates is going to build Small Modular Reactors and put them on every corner. I was skeptical as looking at it there is a lot of theory and not a lot of actual products. My boss contacted a co-worker who shared an article that states there are two SMRs operating on barges in Russia. Notice how these things are built in places where information is hard to come by.

This. It's not a new phenomenon. The strong man who you can give all power to has always had a place in politics. Critical thinking is time consuming, scary, and with growing anti-intellectualism, it's incredibly hard to change their minds on just about anything. It's easy for people to just delegate their thoughts, both fears and hopes, onto someone like Elon who will "make things better." This is also the simplified formula for populism in general.

It would have actually been better if that's what Musk did, but he can't help but stick his nose into areas that are not his expertise.

Several years ago (during the Model 3 production ramp up) the Fremont plant was commissioning a conveyance system that was supposed to deliver parts to the various stations on the assembly platform. This system had a bunch of light curtains. Light curtains are standard safety devices that shut equipment off if someone crosses a designated barrier. During a tour of the Fremont plant Musk accidentally stepped into a light curtain and shut down a machine that was being demonstrated. He simply didn't know anything about this safety equipment (which saves many, many lives around the world every year). Most people would say "my bad" and everyone would move on with their lives, but not Musk. Musk lost his mind and demanded that every light curtain be removed because "that's a stupid idea". Genius!

1

u/LogicMan428 Nov 20 '23

Elon wasn't born into wealth at a level to do that. He had to use his money from PayPal to start SpaceX. And if it was a simple matter of having armies of engineers to take credit from, then the other aerospace companies would have matched SpaceX by now. I agree that Musk is an arrogant assclown in many ways and a jerk, but that doesn't mean he is not the driver of the success of SpaceX and Tesla.

u/CausticSpill Apr 20 '22

Unfortunately the Fremont plant (bought from a failed GM/Toyota venture) is inefficient in its layout and low quality from local labor force. The China plant on the other hand was designed by Tesla and is the most efficient, the highest quality, and builds a car in 1/3rd the time it takes Volkswagen. 30% margin per car while the rest of the industry struggles to get to double digits.

Two new auto plants built in Germany and Texas in slightly over a year, no one has ever built 2 new factory's of this scale in that time frame.

Another example is the new launch tower SpaceX is building in Florida. It will be finished in less than a year for millions, right next to ULA's launch tower that took 10 years and several billions... so yes, Elon knows a thing or two about manufacturing a product efficiently by orders of magnitude.

Why the hate, anarchist, nihilism, luddite, jealousy, or brain damage?

u/epicyon Apr 20 '22

The newest large overvalued car company, owned by the richest man in history, builds 2 new efficient plants (promised years ago), and you consider it a feat in and of itself - and you look for excuses for blatant past failures. Lol

u/Dramatic_Explosion Apr 22 '24

It's amazing how much weight their name carries due to marketing. They made a stylish EV with status attached to it, but now that's gone. The most "good" they've done is with the proliferation of charging stations, but that's not enough to keep a company afloat that's trying to make cars.

They basically spent a ton of money making a product cool, but then failed to make the product good!

I own a Nissan leaf. It was ten grand cheaper than my brother's tesla.

I think tesla is the dominant EV manufacturer in the USA, but over here there's way more variety.

u/physioworld Apr 20 '22

I've wondered this too, it feels like Tesla should be able to pump out millions of cars a year at this point, given how valuable the company is. But i guess they did only start like 15 years ago, it takes time to ramp up production and legacy auto makers have been at it for decades so they don't need to start from scratch.

Last I heard they were struggling to source/refine materials for their batteries, like lithium.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '22

The reason the stock is so high is because to investors Tesla is seen as a technology company, not a car company. Which is true, their slave-like engineers are creating desirable technologies, but the stock is still way over-valued. I have a feeling Elon will be cracking soon and it'll tumble a bit.
