one of the design "quriks" on Teslas is that they have no consistency whatsoever.
I live in a Tesla-heavy town and can confirm this. Start looking at basic defects like doors and trunk lids that don't quite line-up correctly and once you see enough differences among different Teslas it gets pretty obvious.

don’t cars have minor recall/maintenance things all the time? i’m looking for every opportunity to take shots at elon but mehtbf every tesla probably has a dozen reasons for recall though

This is like half the Teslas ever sold though
― frogbs, Thursday, 30 December 2021 23:49 (two years ago) link
they couldn’t admit that they aren’t sure which ones actually need a recall because there was no manual on how to run the camera wires and one team just stapled them to the trunk
― mh, Friday, 31 December 2021 00:19 (two years ago) link
i'm a little confused by how this is reported, in part because i'm not sure how unusual it is to not know based on model whether the vehicle will have a defect. i do remember hearing/reading about tesla's lack of standards for components/assembly. the article says 1% of the model 3s in the recall are actually affected. i guess they would normally be able to limit it to a range of VINs.

I get that driving an automobile can be cool and was really novel in like the 1930s but the complete lack of historical perspective from these people kind of blows my mind
Not that I live a block from where a trolley track used to run and it would have taken directly me to the bar and grocery store that's just over a mile away or anything

*wistfully gazing at the spot where the trolley was*
I can't believe the single lane tunnel thing actually exists. What if a car bricks or randomly starts on fire or experiences any of the other weird issues that Teslas seem to have? How would people get out?

He’s actually a lobbyist, not a journalist. There are many who pose as the latter while behaving like the former. No integrity.Indeed, there were no safety issues. The car simply slowed to ~2 mph & continued forward if clear view with no cars or pedestrians.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 1, 2022
