    Production Hell

    Production Hell

    Since the original Roadster, Tesla has struggled to produce enough cars to meet the demand from customers. Building a car manufacturer from scratch is hard, and if there was any car to highlight that difficulty it was the popular Model 3. As Elon would say, 'Welcome to Production Hell'.

Best podcast ever!!!!

Disappointing

I really enjoyed this podcast at first, but sadly, they do a very bad job at vetting information. There are allot of inaccuracies which are verifiable, in addition to passing subjective or debated information as fact. It feels like your typical documentary where information is used to fit a narrative, as opposed to fact based reporting leading the story, even if it doesn’t result in a conclusive answer. Production quality is great, but the substance is not.
