          Well, they can speak for themselves.

          IDK why all you social justice warriors feel the need to defend everyone else. Smh.

            But isn’t that what lawyers are for? Because every group in society really is just a mythical gang of swole guys, but only in a good way, until you steal their cookies, but if you want the real story tune into vice news today

      When we first talked about the touch-screen, the guys came back and said, ‘There’s nothing like that in the automotive supply chain,’” Musk said. “I said, ‘I know. That’s because it’s never been put in a fucking car before.’” Musk figured that computer manufacturers had tons of experience making seventeen-inch laptop screens and expected them to knock out a screen for the Model S with relative ease. “The laptops are pretty robust,” Musk said. “You can drop them and leave them out in the sun, and they still have to work.” After contacting the laptop suppliers, Tesla’s engineers came back and said that the temperature and vibration loads for the computers did not appear to be up to automotive standards. Tesla’s supplier in Asia also kept pointing the carmaker to its automotive division instead of its computing division. As Musk dug into the situation more, he discovered that the laptop screens simply had not been tested before under tougher automotive conditions, which included large temperature fluctuations. When Tesla performed the tests, the electronics ended up working just fine.

      He still applies this attitude today in all matters.

        They also continued to put these screens in cars even though they knew about the issue. Definitely would never buy a Tesla again.
