probably Boeing executives are proudly patting on their back, because they taught something to Elon, soon Tesla will trade-off its quality for profits. Of course no one will do it directly, but the result of cost saving too much for the sake of profits will result in lower quality in the long term
- walthamstow 2y agoDid Tesla ever prioritise quality? Certainly not on the interiors IME
- ben_w 2y agoThe qualities that Tesla prioritise aren't the ones most people expect, given the sticker prices. I think of them as low-end cars that just happen to require pre-paying for 80% of their lifetime fuel cost because batteries are expensive and electricity is cheap, and by that metric they're not bad. Not premium either, but not bad-bad.
