Lol at people posting copium in response to it

however everybody a lil bit involved in industry knows that this sort of things on photos are considered normal in first steps of mass production.

I'll pull my "I actually work in manufacturing" card and reply: lol, no it isn't. This is the type of shit you work out when you're setting up the production line. How the fuck did these pass final inspection? Did they even do a final inspection?

[-] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 43 points 8 months ago

I also used to work in manufacturing and whenever we started making a new product, the first batch of units is hand-checked by operations, then hand-checked by engineering, then a handful are kept as gold standards references. If there are any problems, it's all hands on deck working overtime to get them fixed immediately, because YOU DON'T KEEP MAKING FAULTY SHIT.

I'm also going to pull my manufacturing card and second @NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net. Not only is this shit that you work out when you're setting up the production line, this is stuff that I would expect from a manufacturing product that has been running for a few years and isn't subjected to as much scrutiny in Quality Control because the defect and liability statistics for it are well known and within parameters, therefore it is more cost effective to just deal with problems as they crop up on the consumer end.

This coming out of a new product, fresh off the line with new processes, is a sign of a complete lack of quality control. That said, there is absolutely no way that they are ever going to make this SolidWorks abomination look good at-scale. You just can't guarantee that level of precision to make those block structures look clean (not that Tesla has good QC for their paneling on their rounded edges and doors anyways). It continues to boggle my mind that any engineer actually signed off on this. I mean, I guess I can see it from a sufficiently bazinga-ed mechanical engineer, but they must not have consulted with a single manufacturing engineer before designing this thing. I would absolutely hate to be on the line in any capacity for this project.

Yeah, what are they trying to say? That you mass produce and sell garbage for a while and then only after you set up more factories you fix it? I thought the whole point of mass production (outside of maybe a food context) was that you can take something very precise and then replicate it without losing any precision, letting you produce a consistent product on a large scale.

Wait so when the Marketing Department needs to do a prerelease photoshoot of the brand new flagship product, they arent asking you to send them the worst shit you have ever seen??

[-] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Well obviously they send their best models to the customers and the worst models for marketing purposes.

This makes people extra satisfied when they order a piece of garbage and instead get the most meticulously crafted, perfect vehicle in existence.

But we all knew Elon is a marketing genius from when he renamed twitter to X, giving free marketing when everyone started saying things like "wtf is x.com? Is it like xvids?" and "twitter fucking sucks now, I mean x dot com fucking sucks now."

Yes, but only if it's December 1941, your factory was just dumped in a field in Siberia two hours ago and the Red Army expects the first T-34 to roll off your line tomorrow morning.

TFW that T-34 still performs better and more reliably than the jank "wunderwaffen" shit the nazis are using stalin-feels-good

calling it now, air will get through the body panel gaps, and due to the linear/planar panels, will lift them completely off the car body

the car itself will also explode but this is nothing new for a tesla

You know how clothing knockoffs will often just take a screenshot of the piece they wanna copy and print that screenshot? This feels like the 3D equivalent of that.

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

But an AI robot will scoop the ice cream automatically!!! Isn't it great how they don't even have to confront how much of their lifestyle is built off the backs of highly exploited low wage labor, even domestically?

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
