Porsch makes garbage. seen the resale on anyting but a 911 turbo? seen a tranny r&R on a cayenne? garbage. POrsche can't beat tesla. theyve been building cars for 80 years and stil cant get it right. going after a 7 year old model s?

Cayenne trans Re & Re ...why yes I have seen that - nothing worth mentioning about except that it is a common repair because it is a Toyota built transmission. , 2nd lowest recall history my 300000 km na 944 quicker around Castrol than S2000,

Tayman - Mission E is priced "low" because it allows Porsche to sell more sports cars and SUV via internal CO2 & fleet fuel economy credits and averaging. They do not have to buy credits from companies like Tesla. As more real auto manufactures build their own carbon offset machines part of Tesla's business model has past its "best before date" . This is why Musk once described Tesla as a temporary company.

I drove the model X last Sunday... wow...



They also sell tea... Tata Tea.

One of my customers came in with a bruised cheek & forehead when their Model X loaner falcon door body slammed her into a parkade stairwell wall. They had the loaner because of a 6 month wait for collision parts for their S. A hotel valet on a joy ride taking their Model S to a charging station tee-boned a truck. The Tesla salesman refused to believe her story because the door has "sensors" .

“The existing line isn’t functional, it can’t build cars as planned and there isn’t room to get people into work stations to replace the non-functioning robots,” Warburton said in an email. “So here we have it—build cars manually in the parking lot.”

lol.

What a garbage company.

So what you are saying is Tesla’s factory is pretty much the trashy part of the Hamptons?

Here is a quote from Max Warburton who benchmarked auto assembly plants before his job as a financial analyst: “Words fail me. It’s insanity,” said Max Warburton, who benchmarked auto-assembly plants around the world before becoming a financial analyst.

I think Max Warburton may have benchmarked auto-assembly plants around the world before becoming a financial analyst.

How else can you turn a 500,000/year car plant and now can barely do 250,000 and you have to built them in tents outside the factory.

Model 3 start to show up in Calgary streets. I would say a $20K Corolla has better paint job and panel alignment than the 2 I have seen so far.

[killramos]

You are wrong. It’s the best car ever!

All the Model Ss I have seen look like shit, so this is hardly a surprise. Nothing like having 1995 Saturn panel gaps.

Saturn had more consistent panel gaps than Tesla does. Quality to change the world!

I was behind one a couple of weeks ago. The trunk lid was crooked.

Levels are old tech!

Saw one at the Market mall EV parking/charging spot. Guy stood around for an hour with the doors open, looking at the car, and looking at people driving by seeking validation or some shit. Either that or he just needed to sit for an hour to charge the car. Smug looking hipster guy.

One thing I learnt with Tesla owners in California, they DGAF about panel gaps. As car guys, we can bring it up all we want. We're the minority. 90% of car owners only care if shit is way out of whack, which increases to 99% for Tesla fans. Lexus made a big deal about it in the 90's, people were certainly aware of it, but only car guys (and Tesla haters) really care.

Even problems with the functionality of the car, Tesla fans don't care because at some point it'll be updated so they'll live with the temporary (typically 3-6 months) worth of pain, such as rebooting the car frequently. This thinking is weird as shit to me when it comes to cars, but pretty normal when it comes to other tech such as phones and laptops.

As car guys

No. Just no. Car guys do not give a shit about panel gap. Yuppie dorks with nothing better to do than jerk off over the latest MB/BMW specs do.

I'm still in the camp of being impressed by Musk. Putting that 3rd temporary line together like that, regardless of quality, is genius if people will still buy the product at the end of the day. Not so genius was his stupid ideas with the original plant. He really should have worked with the 80/20 rule and just went to town trying to automate the stuff that could be done, making the plant more efficient than most without reinventing the wheel.

I saw a Model 3 for the first time in Leavenworth and the interior is so bare.

When will electric cars be like this!?

[killramos]

Everyone knows Ricky from the trailer park boys was the original car guy.

Real cars don’t even need panels let alone worrying about gaps!

Pretty sure hightemp is incapable of telling the difference between car guys and white trash.

OK there Schumacher.

You guys don't bring your Car Enthusiast bullshit in here.

[benyl]

Fuck car guys. Anyone who expects some level of quality when paying a premium prices will notice panel gaps. It's about attention to detail.

90% of people don't notice, car guy or not, because 90% of the population lacks attention to detail.
