Quality Control - Domestic vs Japan

They have ED nurses? Wow!!

It's a cultural thing. Most Americans wouldn't tolerate Japanese management or work culture. It has its tradeoffs. One youtuber who is American moved to Japan to teach. She found higher pay and better overall schedule. She gave the first company two weeks notice. They told her she dishonored and shamed the company and its employees.

Silicon Valley has a similar work culture. And those with the pride in their work go the farthest around here.
Hardball is not for everyone....

I don't see How Ford & GM had so many Issues with 10 speed Transmission after 2 yrs of developed & Testing ..
then Have Big Recalls where Vehicles traveling 60-80 Mph down Highway just Locking Up ..

Meanwhile Honda come out with 10X in Accord & Mini Van is also Rated for 3000 Towing or more ..
1000 in Accord & Acura - do to less Rear Weight & Frame , but Mostly Brakes . . only had 1% If that ..
Those were all replaced - Built New Plant in GA .. ( Not a Fan ) CVT Transmissions ..

A Few Makers are having Losses Center Stacks - Communications - & - Engines from Too Much Heat
Cats are Bolted Directly to Back End of Turbo's - then - Drop Out in 90 Degree Turns for Exhaust Runs ..

Even Designed & Optioned for Special Spark Plugs - which due to heat had 2 yrs Failed Blown Ground Straps & Cracked
Insulators - Piece through % of Motors .. ( Much of this Made Public Weary of Buying New )

In some Small sectors - seeing come back with Items Built to Last 75 yrs

Electrical Vehicles have 340-455 Less Machined Items made on Lathes & Mills & Plastic Injection Molds
Some Parts very Expensive & Manufacturing Intense - costing way More .. Yet Electrical Vehicles Cost $$$$ More . .

Only Few Models Bring Leading Cutting Edge Design

Ford has had numerous issues with their 10 speed. GM has not. Source-I have owned both back to back. I had an F-150 with the ten speed-it was a total piece of garbage. I traded it in with 45,000 miles on it for a basically new (dealer demo) 2023 Silverado, which I documented on here. Between software differences and some internal parts difference-the GM is a total different animal behavior wise. This sentiment has been echoed on various truck sites across the Internet.
