Their 'innovations' often consists of disregarding established (established for a reason, best practises) methods because of Elmos' superiority and NIH complex. He is not an engineer, but an autocrat. I could start with omitting s flame trench thing in Boca Chica b/c "it would take too lomg", the (illegal) changes to their Fremont paint shop and the resulting fires, not keeping spare parts available b/c of frequent iterations applied during production, skipping brake tests, shit design decisions leading to many broken ball joints on their control arms ("whompy wheels"), the "lets use touchscreens not certified for automotive usage" (resulting in yellowing and seeping glue issues)... The customers and employees suffer.

Judging from me jacking up downvotes, i guess you guys still like to believe in Teslas and SpaceX innovations and superiority, so keep on doing that! Bringing down Enron, Theranos and others took a while too; this valid-venture-turned-into-a-fraud (Musks product is the stock price) is not so obvious. Stay tuned! https://elonmusk.today/ https://elonmusk.today/

  When it does happen, it'll be because of woke politics for sure though, not because of any legitimate wrongdoing. Nothing will convince us Elon isn't the brilliant genius engineer maverick Rand foretold.

> not keeping spare parts available b/c of frequent iterations applied during production I think part of this also is that Elon is obsessed with the numbers. Deliveries, deliveries, deliveries. To him, every part sitting waiting on a shelf for service, repair, etc., is a part not going on a new build. People needing service can wait, because they have no choice. The quarterly numbers can't wait.

SpaceX regularly lands rockets vertically on floating barges in the middle of the ocean. Tesla broke open and is dominating the electric car market. What on earth are you talking about.
