Telsa having trouble building reliable cars is not evidence of an industry-wide issue. There are tens of millions of cars on the road with decades old solid state components that are in perfect operation.
- anon73044 7y ago"tens of millions" and "in perfect operation" doesn't quite jive with me but the numbers are mostly there. For Toyota ~57 million vehicles from '02-'09 https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/data/automotive_business/production/production/overview/index.html https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75ye... For Honda ~23 million from '02-09 https://www.statista.com/statistics/267276/worldwide-automobile-sales-of-honda/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/267276/worldwide-automob... Volkswagen group looked to be in between the two. Didn't look for Ford or GM.
- mywittyname 7y agoThere were 16 million new vehicles are sold last year in the US and there's 260 million registered vehicles on the road with a median age of nearly 12 years old. To say that there's "tens of millions" of perfectly operational cars on the road in the US is really an understatement.
