> Immediately, the vehicles were found to have serious build quality shortcomings

Reminds me of Tesla, whose CEO "knows more about manufacturing than anyone alive on planet Earth".

Fisker’s issues include false AEB activations, among other safety issues [0]. While Tesla build quality has always been questionable, Fisker’s issues have sometimes been showstoppers that leave owners in potentially life-threatening situations. Panel gaps won’t kill but, but faulty AEB will. I think the cybertruck faulty accelerator pedal is the only thing in recent memory with a major safety issue for Tesla.

The closest thing that comes to my mind are the false claims about the autopilot, that are currently under investigation in California. The autopilot is linked to at least 13 fatal crashes.

The fact that it can even be called that, or worse even "full self driving" is absolutely bonkers to me.

I drove a few older model s cars with AP2 and the emergency braking kicked in on the freeway several times. Never had it happen with AP1 (mobileeye). Don't know if current cars experience this.

These Elon digs whenever it is deemed remotely relevant are bizarre, at this point. It doesn't seem to be adding value to the discussion at best, and at worst it seems to violate the HN guidelines.
