Absolutely. Marketing teaches that emotion is the #1 factor in purchases, especially major purchases. No one needs a $60K Tesla, BMW, Vette, etc. Who needs a BroDozer? A Civic/Corolla Accord/Camry is a far more sensible purchase. A year or 2 old is even better. Right?
It failed safe. It very well may be that it detected a problem in flight and redundancy allowed it to properly perform safely. But upon detecting the problem did not rely on the operator to preemptively fix the problem before the redundancy which was then the only thing still working had a chance to fail because of continued use for additional flights. It was smart enough in the programming to wait until the aircraft was on the ground and could safely shut down to the point where it had to be serviced so that it was no longer relying on the backup system. Because if the backup system was the only thing left and that failed then it would not be operating properly while in flight. So not only did it fail safe while in flight and continue to operate it was programmed to be smart enough to ensure that it was properly repaired and prevent continued use with only the backup. If this is the case whoever designed the system did a very good job.Although unrelated, our Gulfstream G600‘s electrical system just “bricked” yesterday. Holy mother of god, it has been a battle!
The system is exceedingly complex and so far 4 computers are being replaced.
Not sure of the cause, but worked fine in flight, with just a blue (advisory) fault message. But once on the ground, went into the Lucas-electric mode of unrecoverable total failure
it should come as no surprise the controlling computers are from England
How does the 600 compare to the 650/650ER?Although unrelated, our Gulfstream G600‘s electrical system just “bricked” yesterday. Holy mother of god, it has been a battle!

Pirelli scorpion all terrain ???
pick up trucks. Sorry, I should have known some need explanation.
Somewhat Smaller cabin. Just as stupidly fast. Will easily cruise at M0.93 if asked Pratt engines are MUCH smoother
Regardless if the company delivers or not, might be worth investing at these lows just to ride the meme power when the stock market eventually goes up in a year or two.
Will the manufacturer conduct some type of analysis to see what went wrong? Maybe a damaged wire harness or some manufacturing glitch that could cause this to happen again?
Pick up trucks are the most popular plow platform.
Speaking of "need explanation"... observations suffer from the obvious logical fallacy of illusory or false correlations. Such fallacy often explain superstitions, racism, sexism, and other nonsense conclusions.
And for the record this is NOT 2 feet of snow. Closer to 8 inches.

One of the best electronic Engineers I ever worked with one day commented that if you think about the number of transistors and other components that are in today's computers statistically speaking it's amazing that they operate as long as they do without breaking down. And he knew all about the redundancy of error codes for memory systems and anything else associated with how a computer worked.
My bad, not 8" but 15" of snow. LOL. I can observe that the small statured person standing next to it, apparently a female wearing tall boots. From the center to the top half of the presumably 20" metal wheel, plus a few inches of tire would be about 15". Not 2.5' (30") of snow. They're standing on about 1 foot of snowpack. 8", 15" 24" irrelevant, my ICE truck would go thru that without any real effort. More importantly it's not even touching the undercarriage to the extent of stopping it. And best of all, the thing died and stranded them requiring not just being pulled out, but flatbedded for $2100 hundreds of miles to be fixed. Once again, the nanny-state tech stranded them.
All there likely due to operator error, not any issue with/because the vehicle.
