    The timing of “it’s how airplanes work and nobody complains about them” perfectly coinciding with it coming to light that all the planes we build are total pieces of shit was pretty funny.

    “It’s just like an airplane, it’s doors are barely bolted on and everything”

        The post talks about “catastrophe failure” of the steering. Also a bad fly by wire system seems like it’s pretty well encapsulated in “shoddy engineering”

          Catastrophic failure of the truck’s steering. I don’t recall a Boeing incident being due to the steering mechanism breaking.

          Yes you’re right, it’s all engineering. I meant like cracks in the frame and stuff.

            Oh shit my bad thought you meant none of the tesla issues were the fly by wire.

            No as far as I know that hasn’t been an issue on the planes yet, but then again the fact the door wasn’t screwed on right doesn’t encourage a lot of confidence on any other system.
