> Tesla cutting corners?

Given what we have seen from Twitter, cutting corners and ignoring laws and regulations seems to be an Elon thing.

The guy is even skipping rent.

So why not?

No it's just poor QA. You can live with bad parts coming out of the prices provided you catch them when they do.

This shouldn't ever happen if QA is being done properly.

EDIT: which I recognise is "cutting corners" but the point is, any idiot can make one in-spec part. Making them consistently is the challenge.

Rumint: Tesla has designed castings that are too big and/or too complex for the casting presses to produce a good yield. Tesla blames IDRA. But another maker of those machines turned down Tesla's RFP.
