    Hey. Man knows more about manufacturing, that any human alive. Maybe he can manufacture what we all wish.

    Edit: since people are a bit bad all connecting 1+2 and too busy triggering, the answer is “dead Elon”

      Well, he wanted “sub 10 micron accuracy” on all parts and given the reason especially for visible pieces and that obviously includes the panels. Those panels are famously not lining up properly and due to physics, extend and retake based on temperature, which… causes bending and even more misalignement. As Elon clearly didn’t want that and expected 400 times better results, and he knows more about manufacturing than any other person, no one knew that it will not be possible to be sub 10 micron accurate. Right? But why is there a forum conversation from 2012 about the gap issues with the delorean? And why are they telling the person asking that it is normal and unavoidable with stainless steel? Was that a commonly known issue? Yes it was.

      While I am not a fan of ai and don’t trust them… google forced them down my throat and I think you should see it too. https://imgur.com/a/AnQE0xm

      How did Elon not know, If he knows more about manufacturing than any human alive, when random people on the internet were aware of the issues with stainless steel panels and gaps? Mystery.

      Does he really, or does he employ people who have this knowledge?

      Even giving him the biggest possible benefit of the doubt, ignoring his politics, and ignoring just about everything else negative about him… so many of his projects miss their announced release dates with little to no technical discussion/disclosure on why.

      On top of that, we only need to look at his short lived attempt to style himself as a particularly skilled gamer. If he was so clearly lying and cheating (by using an account built by someone else) on something that inconsequential, it should cast significant doubt on his other claimed skills and accomplishments (if none of his other shit caused that doubt for you yet).

        Does he really

        He definitely doesn’t. I watched a video tour he gave of the history of SpaceX rockets, and he referred to the tubing and whatnot on the exterior of the rockets as “the fiddly bits”.

      So cybertrucks are designed to fall apart like that?

      I know more about manufacturing than him because I’m a senior manufacturing engineer with years of experience. I’ve met many, many suits just like him.
