Tesla is facing issues with the bare metal construction of the Cybertruck, which Elon Musk warned was as tricky to do as making Lego bricks
Sub 10 micron. Jfc, this idiot doesn’t have a clue about auto manufacturing. Even the most precise parts of auto manufacture don’t require “sub 10 micron” tolerances. Engine bearing journals are about the most crucial fit in a car and they are generally on the order of 50 microns. Electric cars can use even wider margins because they mostly use ball and roller bearings instead of babbit bearings.
But… Since were talking about the body panels on the worlds dumbest truck the point is even more moot. John Delorian was stamping out stainless panels in the 80s on a shoe string budget,
but the worlds richest dipshit wants to make it out to be the automotive equivilant to brain surgery.Which, at the same time shows that he has absolutely no clue about anything mechanical.
I wanted one once. Now it seems like the embodiment of the most entitled, cynical, ostentatious bullshit humanity could possibly devise at this time.
Tesla Board, you might want to ruminate on that.
Now?
Oh, you want sub-micron tolerance for everything Elon? Please tell us at what temperature range then.
Elon has never been, nor ever well be, an engineer. FAR from it
I remember so many arguments about how you don’t need a degree to be an engineer, just the way of thinking. No joke, people actually told me he does a lot of engineering in factories. Haha. Comedy gold right there, although I probably looked like a crazy person back then since I was the only one laughing. Glad people are finally realizing he’s full of shit.
