Blame Elon. Most really stupid ideas at Tesla were because of him. Removing the radar on autopilot, the yoke, the Cybertruck, and this. He has to make it look like he's doing something.
All it takes is one mis step in the market. Sharp was THE leader in big screen tv's and displays used in Times Square etc. They were worth Billions. They were purchased by a Chinese company a few years back for under 300 million dollars.
Apparently the Cybertruck is breaking in new innovative ways. Now the ceiling mounted "pod" where the back up parking buttons are in case the screen fails are cracking and falling off. Tesla made the center stack part of the bracket for the sun visor. Cybertruck breaking in innovative new ways...
My parents had some kitchen line redone and my dad and i repaired some sections in the basement. Alot of copper lines now are much thinner than the past so you will want a heavier gauge. Pex shouldn't have any plastic taste after a little bit of use.
How is Tesla welding these things together? There were a number of articles early on that discussed different types but I haven't seen any info come out on that.
