ACCC are cracking down on misleading advertising from all OEM’s and the term ‘Zero Emissions’ will no longer be allowed as they will require the entire lifecycle to be considered so get ready for terms like ‘Zero tailpipe emissions while driving’ and similar.
Funny that the Vic State Gubment released a paper at the same time about ‘Zero Emission Vehicles’ 🤣
Yup! Thar's it. Same colour too.Quote:

Good to see the ACCC really going after the important issues. Small wonder they are routinely ignored.Quote:

"After a wait of almost four years, development of the Tesla Cybertruck seems to have reached the finish line, with only weeks remaining until the start of initial deliveries – assuming Tesla sticks to the late Q3 timeline announced earlier this year.Yesterday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted a photo of a "production candidate" Cybertruck after driving it, labeling the vehicle as the company's "best product ever."
However, that doesn't mean Tesla can rest on its laurels – quite the contrary. The Cybertruck Owners Club caught wind of an internal email from Elon Musk to Tesla employees in which the executive demands the manufacturing team to pay extra attention to the Cybertruck's fit and finish and ensure high standards of quality.
The CEO mentioned panel gaps in particular, noting that tolerances "need be specified in single digit microns." Here's the email in full.
"Due to the nature of Cybertruck, which is made of bright metal with mostly straight edges, any dimensional variation shows up like a sore thumb.Elon"" https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...=612&h=344&m=6
All parts for this vehicle, whether internal or from suppliers, need to be designed and built to sub 10 micron accuracy.
That means all part dimensions need to be to the third decimal place in millimeters and tolerances need be specified in single digit microns. If LEGO and soda cans, which are very low cost, can do this, so can we.
Precision predicates perfectionism.
Holy crap. Musk is such a moron.
If the windscreen is really as extensive as it looks, it would be a bit interesting being inside on a nice, Queensland/Northern Australian, summer's day!Quote:

re 1- Full battery replacement in a Model 3 last week. I dropped it off and picked up a loan dual motor version for the week for the owner of that car. Warranty job!! Interesting to note that they contacted the owner to let them know they had found a issue and they had booked it in for them. The battery problem was not obvious at that point. It seemed good service really. Not suggesting a failed battery is great!!! Noted a LOT of other cars for repairs at the Tesla place!Quote:

Other aside is my Cousins Mod 3 in the US which has still not been serviced at all now at 52000km+. I wonder what breaks first?
