> [a]ll parts for this vehicle, whether internal or from suppliers, need to be designed and built to sub 10 micron accuracy. That means all part dimensions need to be to the third decimal place in millimeters and tolerances need to be specified in single digit microns. If LEGO and soda cans, which are very low cost, can do this, so can we."
.... Lol, Elon proving he's a "visionary" that can't see the relative size difference between a Lego and fucking body panels
"We gotta have nanometer accuracy, transistors are way cheaper if they can do it so can we!"
- FireBeyond 3y agoHey, he knows more about manufacturing at this point than anybody on the planet, remember that.
- function_seven 3y agoDesigner: "Ok, boss. All dimensions in CAD have been updated with a tolerance < 10 micron." Tool and Die Maker: "Just finished honing all the stamps and dies to < 10 micron accuracy." Industrial Engineer: "Got it. I have scheduled inspection of all stamps to occur after every 5 units produced to keep an eye on wear." Assembly Line Worker: "These panel gaps are still all over the place." Piece of Sheet Metal: "lol, I like to crinkle in unexpected and erratic ways!"
