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.
