Tesla literally didn't realize the steel comes in coils and it naturally wants to warp back into that state. Massive panel gap problems. As usual. The only thing other car makers are learning is what a joke their design operation is.
- bastian 3y agoSure guy.

- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Tesla literally didn't realize the steel comes in coils and it naturally wants to warp back into that state Steel comes in many shapes. Are you saying they used hot versus cold-rolled steel?
- convolvatron 3y agostainless has a very strong tendency to want to walk back from forming operations.
- m463 3y agoMaybe they need to machine it from a block of metal, like apple's laptops.
- KaiserPro 3y agoIt also has to be much thicker, or needs to be bonded to a backing frame for rigidity.
- dgrin91 3y agoSpaceX was using stainless steel for Starship since at least 2019, so pretty sure you are demonstrably wrong here. Its fun to say space man bad, but don't equate complex production cycles to teams of competent engineers not knowing basics. Look at the differences between production & preproduction models and you'll see way less issues.
- blackguardx 3y agoI’m sure folks knew it came in rolled form, but aren’t SpaceX and Tesla two separate companies?
- dgrin91 3y agoBoth run by Musk and they have a lot of folks who have swapped between the two. In general they have very close connections.
- blackguardx 3y agoI would be interested to learn how this works in practice. In many companies separate divisions barely collaborate or take learnings from each other. 2 separate companies sharing learnings is unique.
- me_me_me 3y agoI work in one company and the divisions there hardly interact cuz it costs a lot in overhead. I am pretty sure the guy is making shit up.
- mschuster91 3y agoMusk does this routinely, also with the Boring Company or with Twitter - upon his acquisition, he took a lot of Tesla staff with him to Twitter HQ [1] to help out.

- dangus 3y agoSome of the top selling vehicles in America are made by companies with atrocious build quality like Ford, GM, and Chrysler. The Bronco and Wrangler being utter pieces of shit doesn’t make them unpopular.
