Move fast and break things... not the brightest idea with heavily regulated markets when we talk about 1st world countries human lives.

But I'll probably die of old age than witness that massive childish ego admit a fuckup in any possible way. Till then, voting with my wallet and avoiding teslas like plague, novelty of cool tech gadget is long gone and reality seeps in.

> The initials CB on a Tesla Model S battery, following Cristina Balan's design input I don't see it, do you?

Took me a minute as well: look at the left side only. It’s a lower case c above a lower case b. With a diagonal line connecting them.

Right side is just a mirror image.

Reportedly, Tesla is having a big issue with their accelerator pedal right now.

The thin metal cover of that pedal is not always thoroughly secured and slides off easily, wedging itself into the carpet behind the pedal. This causes the accelerator to be stuck (at high velocity!).

As a Tesla customer, you are part of the QA team. That's what you get when they make the employees of that company to afraid to speak up and report serious issues.

At this point, how could anyone even contemplate buying from such a scummy company? ... (not necessarily staff, although you'd have to assume that many of them have bought in the Elon hype and are, as such, complicit).

If branding means anything in this day and age, how can you associate yourself with such scummy brand? As a customer or employee?

I was a fanboy a decade ago. Wouldn't touch them with your bargepole now ...

If you have one - sell it - or get the batteries repurposed into a conversion project.
