Yesterday, Sandy Munro had some thoughts on the announcement last month that Tesla plans to build a massive new assembly plant near Monterrey, Mexico. “The Mexican plant is a genius move,” Munro, a manufacturing expert known for his vehicle teardowns, said in a YouTube video posted Tuesday. Instead, Elon Musk trotted out a phalanx of company executives to talk about how the company plans to slash manufacturing costs. Part of that may also have been to show that there’s more to Tesla than Elon Musk and his proclivity for espousing ultra-conservative political statements on Twitter. As Buttigieg mentioned, NHTSA and the NTSB have investigated crashes involving Tesla Autopilot for years, a slow pace that safety advocates have criticized.
