I have seen a lot of tesla vandalism online the last few days and I’m kind of on the fence about it.
I’ve seen several examples locally here in BC, Canada.
I think totally warranted at newly purchased teslas going forward. Also it serves as a deterrent for potential future buyers.
But vandalizing a car that is a few years old I think is lame. Those driversare already being punished enough by driving something around that’s worth less than scrap.
My father was always going on about how stupid it is to buy a car designed by computer scientists and electrical engineers. He himself is an electrical engineer who has a PhD in computer science. He might have been on to something.
If you guys put us mechanical engineers in charge, we’ll give you your physical buttons back.
I think we’re pretty heavy on software and some electrical engineers around here (I’m both, lol), and this place HATES the lack of physical buttons and touch screen everything. We seem to hate that almost as much as AI, advertising, and tech CEOs, lol.
It’s almost always business decisions. The product managers chase what the market is doing, and everybody from them to the accountants, manufacturing, and the executives love the idea of removing parts and reducing costs.
