When you see recalls from other major automotive manufacturers, you see recalls on models that have a 250k-1M production range. Overall failures in this group is relatively low, so the recall is mostly a cover-their-ass measure to make sure all 500k of some car model is safe, even though they only had a tiny amount of incidents related.
The Cybertruck - all 11k of them - has already been recalled several times, and it’s issues which affect all of them (or almost all). Tesla being unable to roll out 11k trucks that aren’t Edsels is a huge hit to their reputation at a time when Tesla is already under fire from many different directions.
Regardless of the absurd design and the fact that owning a Cybertruck is a wholesale endorsement of Musk’s delusional narcissism, I’m confident that Tesla could have pulled this off as a quality vehicle had they tried. At least, a far less shitty version.
And this is no besmirchment on Tesla engineers, but a criticism of their management and terrible QA process (again, management). It wouldn’t surprise me at all of Tesla engineers said, “X, Y, and Z won’t work or will be crap, so we need to build it better, possibly with a redesign of certain components,” and Tesla execs (esp Elon) just responded, “Fuck it! We’ll fix it in post!”
Are you saying Musk is like Narcissus? The Greek 16 year old who didn't want to have sex with anyone? Mate, I'm pretty fucking sure Elon has had sex. With multiple women who eventually grew to hate him, even. One of his kids disowned him for being a transphobe and another has the worst name in the world.
Do you really think "didn't want to have sex" is the important part in the story of Narcissus?
Yes, it's a story about how Greek society was aphobic. Other people felt entitled to his body just because he was attractive. So they asked Nemesis to make him fall in love with his reflection as punishment for being asexual.
