To be fair this undermines my trust in tesla workers. No only because the nature of their work is radically different but not having the guts to tell ellon off for firing people based on loc tells me they probably cut other corners at tesla just because their boss tells them. Lack of integrity and two ton vehicles are not a good mix.
- paulgb 4y agoThat they let him launch the Cybertruck already makes me think he doesn’t have people who can say no to him.
- MichaelCollins 4y ago> That they let him launch the Cybertruck already Huh? It's still vaporware. AFAIK they haven't even pretended to start production yet.
- Fatnino 4y agoThey built just one for him to drive around in a one of one vehicle. Like the pope.
- novok 4y agoIf this is the event that makes you feel like they cut corners at tesla, vs the many, many more that has been public in the news about the cars themselves, I have a bridge to sell you.
- yrgulation 4y agoI kept hoping and didnt want to sound like that grumpy old man shouting at clouds. Tesla to me looks more like an mvp with good batteries. I think it will go downhill as more ev makers enter the market and tesla cant compete with them in making actual cars. Elon spent 44 billion on a bloody troll platform and is heavily distracted by it.
- kaba0 4y agoNot adding LIDAR and playing this ambiguous marketing game of not really self-driving vs “you can just sit in the back and enjoy whatever you want” makes their whole business a scam.
- yrgulation 4y agoBattery tech seems good tho. Wondering why other carmakers are so far behind.
- brookst 4y agoThe requirement to drive with auto-bright headlights, coupled with the auto-bright system’s complete inability to detect incoming traffic, is all you need to know about the importance of quality at Tesla.
- drcongo 4y agoI got downvoted to hell for asking about that on here recently.
- sorenjan 4y agoHave you seen this thread? No idea if it's legit, take it with a grain of salt. "i used to work for tesla writing infotainment firmware and backend services - all of which runs in a single bottom tier Datacenter in a single location on the worst VMware deployment known to man." https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3862643&userid=20544 https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=38...
- yrgulation 4y agoOmg thats thread is scary if true. Although car software is crap throughout the industry.
- ardit33 4y agoTesla is not known to be a good employer to work for, and hence I imagine the tesla engineers are just not that good in average. I have been working for a long time in the industry, and I have no former coworkers that are good that work there. Like 0. In this case you have B players trying to decide who is a good engineer at Twitter, and predictably they are using the dumbest metric possible.
- watwut 4y agoI don't think they have enough autonomy to even try actual decision making. In an environment of controlling authoritarian boss, you it is just not possible no matter when you private opinions would be.
