When we first talked about the touch-screen, the guys came back and said, ‘There’s nothing like that in the automotive supply chain,’” Musk said. “I said, ‘I know. That’s because it’s never been put in a fucking car before.’” Musk figured that computer manufacturers had tons of experience making seventeen-inch laptop screens and expected them to knock out a screen for the Model S with relative ease. “The laptops are pretty robust,” Musk said. “You can drop them and leave them out in the sun, and they still have to work.” After contacting the laptop suppliers, Tesla’s engineers came back and said that the temperature and vibration loads for the computers did not appear to be up to automotive standards. Tesla’s supplier in Asia also kept pointing the carmaker to its automotive division instead of its computing division. As Musk dug into the situation more, he discovered that the laptop screens simply had not been tested before under tougher automotive conditions, which included large temperature fluctuations. When Tesla performed the tests, the electronics ended up working just fine.
That yellowing of Tesla screens is some bullshit
Teslas are built like shit. What do you expect
A Tesla bro to come in and tell you how you’re wrong.
I can hear them approaching now…
It’s easy because the panel gaps make a kinda whistling noise
I think it’s more of a wooshing… But I have tinnitus.
Hahaha that’s good I gotta remember that one
As a Tesla owner I felt this deeply
Its just slowly becoming more mexican
Some Latino guy somewhere is offended by your opinion
If we wait a while he will continue to yellow outside of the visible spectrum of humans.
Well, they can speak for themselves.
IDK why all you social justice warriors feel the need to defend everyone else. Smh.

He still applies this attitude today in all matters.
They also continued to put these screens in cars even though they knew about the issue. Definitely would never buy a Tesla again.
