And he got all of that from one car?
All the things he said about fit and finish do matter - a lot. I got screwed by a late 79s Le Mans, my first new car. Somewhat analogous to losing your virginity to a girl with the clap. Took me 20 years to give GM a second chance. Which I subsequently learned it did not deserve. Which I why my family owns 3 Sonatas.
But back to my first statement. Has Tesla improved? I don’t know. But considering the amount of evidence to the contrary, I think making such a blanket statement based on a single car is simply not good logic.
If he had said, wow, this car tells me we need to give Tesla another look and see if this is the new norm - then I would have agreed.
79s = 70s
But considering the amount of evidence to the contrary, I think making such a blanket statement based on a single car is simply not good logic.
Yes, a one car sample is considerably less than Six Sigma manufacturing would require.
That said, where is this” the amount of evidence to the contrary” about Tesla QC?
Yes, they had a rough start on ramping up the Model 3.
Very common for the old big three, not right but not unusual.
I have a Santa Fe and two Pontiac Vibes. Vibes are Toyotas for a GM price. Then there’s the nitrous Camaro...
Yeah, this guy definitely comes off like a used car salesman. Honestly, I think he was a smart and innovative car guy 20 years ago and earned his good name but these days, he’s on sale to the highest bidder.
