> It's amazing that someone can take Tesla taking a sales/marketing employee and having them instead temporarily servicing cars Why is it any more amazing than taking a random person off the street[1] and have them service cars? What you're doing is exactly what the author of the linked article wants you to do: you're taking the frame from the headline (that the new servicefolk won't be trained before working on cars) as a prior and assuming it to be true, despite that fact that this isn't alleged anywhere in the article. > A "new" Ford service technician will have several hundreds of hours of training It's not hundreds of hours. These people get trained, but you can start on stuff like tire replacements or diagnostic reading after a day or two. Not every service is replacing a cylinder or rebuilding a transmission! [1] A "new employee", in the jargon.
