I'm convinced there is some merit to this. So what would be the "Tesla" place for engineers to work at nowadays? Maybe Volocopter, Eviation, Boom Supersonic and the likes - there is plenty.
Also, I'm convinced elevators and escalators are now more often broken than previously and always thought - what if that can be explained with loss of knowledge? Given how old this stuff is. There likely only ever is "innovation" in how to produce it for less cost and it results in mediocre technical "compromises".
- mrguyorama 3y agoThis is nothing more than physical degradation, because replacing the escalator or elevator costs a lot of money, while hiring the cheapest repairperson to service it with spit and bubblegum costs only a little. America CAN still build stuff just fine, but everywhere you look, the upper management has stopped agreeing to pay for it. It always seems like management is happier to pay $$ every year for ongoing support costs over $$$ one time and $ every year after for an investment of some sort into future production.
- Shawnj2 3y agoTesla, SoaceX, Rocket Lab, most of the other NuSpace companies, other EV companies like Rivian, the hardware departments of Silicon Valley companies, and defense startups like Anduril are what I immediately think of
- kuschkufan 3y agoBut we were talking planes..
- Shawnj2 3y agoPlanes and rockets are two sides of the same coin, an engineer can pretty much work at either if they want Well I guess there are some plane startups like Boom, companies working on green powered planes, and companies working on plane style drones but it’s a lot less common IMO
