Water got into the battery. Well that sounds like it is squarely a fault of Tesla and its QC or R&D. Who tf builds a car, with a battery, doesn't make sure that the battery and all other major components are IP68 rated for "full immersion up to a meter or more for 30 minutes" ?
Its a CAR. We have Fords to cross. And some RAIN fscked it up??!!
That’s implying they have one at all!
The official QC policy from Musk himself is "don't"
He probably thinks QC is a bit 'woke' and thus dismisses it out of hand.
Nah, it's because he's obsessed with getting cars out the door as quickly as possible to shorten the waiting list he's always hearing about.
Coupled with fact that he doesn't care about the safety and happiness of people whose surname isn't a perfume ingredient.
