In today’s episode, Adrian is joined by Andrew Amirnovin, our reliability expert, and we’re using Tesla’s Cybertruck problems as a case study in what happens when a product skips, or underinvests in, reliability testing. From panels that fall off to cracked windshields and sticky accelerator pedals, it’s clear the fundamentals weren’t locked down before launch.
We’ll unpack the engineering missteps that led to mass recalls, the fallout from Elon Musk’s political distractions, and most importantly, the lessons this holds for manufacturers, startups, and scale-ups.
