> have to deal with legacy decisions from their early years of cars failing and all of the weird service issues and NDAs and bricking cars that are resold and have to make good on their FSD promise I honestly think they were hoping to make that up in volume. As it gets cheaper to make cars at scale, some portion of the savings goes to fixing up the issues with the cars they already shipped. They haven't been able to scale their pipeline, though. > I think Tesla is going to earn a similar reputation as other car manufacturers as time goes on. Long term, I don't think it's going to go well. "Move fast and break things" is a bad principle to apply to a car. I can use DDG or Bing if Google doesn't work, but I can't summon a Kia when my Tesla won't start. I don't think they can use that velocity to create features consumers want enough to deal with the instability. They might strike gold elsewhere though where the instability is less of an issue. It might be okay for self-driving semis to break down, if they're cheap enough that you can afford extras to use when some break.
