to hide the fact that they were putting damaged, short-circuited battery modules into cars, and/or to try to play dumb when one inevitably explodes

so that it was no longer possible to tell that previously "scrapped" parts were being put back into production

literally. according to the filing, that's the reason.

it'd be the purview of the nhtsa, but i think they're purely reactive, it's not like every vehicle off the lot needs a parts list and provenance filed

if there's an investigation leading to a recall it'd be real loving stupid not to have one. but welp.

what makes you think that tesla has any interest in following regulations?

this is the company that reported 200,000 $1000 fully refundable deposits as $200M revenue

the company that avoided painting hazardous areas in its factory yellow because elon doesn't like yellow

the company that shows its cars driving themselves hands-free in ads then adds some fine print in the EULA saying "actually you can't do that"

the company that makes its customers sign NDAs before performing warranty work, to avoid revealing how broken their cars are or conducting a recall

quote:

Musk grabs a coffee-table book published by The Onion and starts leafing through it, laughing hysterically. “In order to understand the essential truth of things,” he theorizes, “I think you can find it in The Onion and occasionally on Reddit.”

Afterward, he asks excitedly, “Have you ever seen Rick and Morty?” And the conversation bounces from that animated show to South Park to The Simpsons to the book Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

One of the lines from Hitchhiker’s, Musk says, ended up being Musk Family Rule Number One: “Don’t panic.”

“The boys were quite skittish about all kinds of things,” Riley explains.

“That’s our other rule,” Musk continues. “Safety third. There’s not even a Rule Number Two. But even though there’s nothing in second place, safety is not getting promoted to number two.”

it's worth pointing out that none of their released financials follow GAAP, they're just making poo poo up whole cloth and they're a publicly traded company

well yeah, what they're worrying about is arbitrary production targets, so that they can maintain their stock valuation. which is why they needed to shove damaged parts back into the production pipeline, and then cover it up, to begin with

the good news is most of these vehicles aren't actually shipping to customers, so probably fewer people will die.

Endless Mike posted:

turning off inventory tracking means when the inevitable forced recall comes, they will have to recall 100% of cars manufactured in that timeframe

it also seems like they vastly broadened their legal exposure if any tesla battery fails horribly. even if that failure was random and had nothing to do with this gently caress up, they purposely destroyed the documentation they'd need to prove it wasn't due to their own gross negligence
