    I’m calling corpo lobbied bullshit. 2 years is enough time to put a normal door handle on your car.

      Cars are designed up to 5 years in advance. Usually the last 2 years before production is dedicated to endurance testing.

        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.

        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.
