Quality Control and Why It's So Hard - Model S Control Arms

[Maximillan]

I wanted to share this thread as it provides a good insight into why quality control is hard. Look past the Musk / Tesla hate, it's worth a read.
As anybody who's ever developed / manufactured something for a large organisation, people dynamics and culture play a big role in the final product quality.

The best thing about this Twitter thread is timing

Fascinating article. Interesting insights into why these parts might experience failures

Hard to get a read given lack of facts including time periods.
Certainly in the early part of S production and leading up to 3 launch Tesla was running very tight.

Very different these days with the continual iterations of parts within models.
