OMG! This isn't a joke? Part of the reason you want uniformity is so you can learn what kinds of problems your customers are going to run into and your service personnel understand how to resolve them. If every Tesla is essentially unique then they've gone straight back to the 18th century! Wow!

- xienze 6y ago> as long as all the differences are well documented Yeah, I’m gonna stop you right there. I have serious doubts a company that sees no problem with making a quick Home Depot run for some faux wood trim in order to get a car out the door is meticulously documenting all their little hacks.

Cars aren't software; to do that with cars without large identical (by intent) production runs (to control for process noise) it would seem like you would need extraordinary process control (and every indication I've seen has that Tesla varies from incumbents in the opposite direction), otherwise you are chasing process noise.
