All those words you are saying, it's quite possible the sub-contractor to the sub-contractor to the sub-contractor in a foreign low-cost country that actually did the work has absolutely no idea what any of that means, and they are doing the bare minimum to deliver

Problem with that statement is some of these “foreign low-cost” countries are building great cars while American vehicles have a global reputation for being garbage.

The only American-made vehicle that sold in any volume outside the US was Tesla and that is already over.

Why wouldnt a foreigner know what this means? This seems very xenophobic. And if US/Euro management is hiring these groups and not giving them requirements for redundancy then guess who is at fault? Not the contractor.

Because the whole point is that it’s cheap labor. Cheap labor is inherently inferior

Price and quality being proportional is one of the big fantasies we live by.
