A contrary article to this piece, is this submission, Why I think Tesla is building throwaway cars: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11233898

Their main point is not that Tesla cars are badly manufactured. But that they don't make repair manuals available, they don't sell replacement parts, they lock down access to the car's systems, don't give salvage titles, and that these cars will be very difficult and expensive to repair in the future.



Yeah but Tesla. Tech startup. Wooo disruptive and wonderful.

If ford tried it people would complain, but Tesla locking things down is just fine.


So, just like Apple.
