I love the statement because it’s true but in context it’s rather absurd…
context: Elon calls for crazy tight standard tolerance of 10 micron (±.0002") because if everything is perfect then the assembly will be perfect…
“All parts for this vehicle, whether internal or from suppliers, need to be designed and built to sub 10 micron accuracy.”
It’s significantly easier hitting that tolerance on small parts… Try making the same lego that’s bigger than a hand and you’ll be going home tail tucked.
And I can’t wait for the cost burden to skyrocket. Perfectly functional parts being thrown part for small dimensional imperfections. Entire cars being scrapped because thermal expansion wasn’t accounted during manufacturing/assembly. And the opportunities for malicious compliance… oh jolly…
almost like musk is full of shit and has no idea what hes talking about
Elon should probably look at body panel alignment on his cars first.
