    Also, there is no way to actually measure this tight of a tolerance on large parts such as a car, since the standard methods for this tight of a tolerance measurement is… using a caliper, as using automated optical inspection for every dimension isn’t really feasible.

    So, I guess they’ll probably just coddle Musk and make some fake drawings for his eyes only or something, which would only be more useless work for Tesla people.

      That’s been their modus operandi from the start.

      And if Musk gets too involved somewhere, they just drop a couple of cool words and get him to go on a wild goose chase about shooting people through a massive vacuum canon or something stupid like that.

        I think I am going to give my main project manager a nice gift for Xmas this year. This is just a small reminder of how much worse I can have it.

      We definitely have lasers that can measure this tolereance.

        Yeah, as I said, automated optical inspection isn’t feasible, it would be extremely cost prohibitive to set up laser fixtures for every dimension.
