Here's the thing. SV Tech companies aren't too great at the whole "at scale" manufacturing thing. Maybe Tesla can figure it out, but they need to pay more attention to what the "boring dinosaurs" are doing this this regard.

- deelowe 8y agoThey outsourced it to foxconn. Apple didn't figure anything out themselves.
- perl4ever 8y agoIs this chronologically consistent? I'm skeptical that the point at which they started outsourcing was the point at which they solved their problems. The latter is relatively recent, and the former must be a long time ago, surely? They made Mac SE/30s in Singapore.
