Yea, service will always be required. What I think it’s about, even though it’s not explained well in the article, is fixing software / poor mechanical design issues in their parts. If 5% of cars come in for a specific issue that can be prevented, then they’ll fix the designs so that same issue doesn’t happen. Leading to 0 service required for that part (as an ideal, not a reality).
It’s not gonna happen, but it’s a goal they can actively work towards to improve the cars.
p.s. i don’t own a tesla or care what they do. Just sharing my thoughts on the article. I don’t really know why I’m here…
…so all this “initiative” is about us finally making a good product? They are literally just describing the bog standard QA program any auto maker should have, right?
