Of course they never tested it. Did you see the glass demo in 2019?

The glass breaking isn't as bad as this. They could have plausibly just not tested one specific thing. Still bad tho.

If they didn't notice the corrosion, that means they weren't taking the same "truck" out, like if they'd have just racked up 1,000 miles on one in real world conditions, it would have been incredibly obvious. Especially because after testing like that (really way more miles than that) is tearing it all down and seeing how it held up.

These things may have a failure at 10k miles that a $1 piece would have fixed. But no one's gonna know till they get there

A friend who worked at Tesla for a little while swore Elon was told by the engineering team that the window would break if he tried that and he just didn’t believe them. Not sure if it’s true, but if it is that’s honestly worse than poor testing imo

As a programmer let me just say that testing is for losers.

Was working for a shitty marketing agency at some point. Asked how they tested for bugs. Answer: "we don't make bugs!".

Narrator: they did, and in large numbers.
