The best part about this, as I don’t need to argue with you at all.
You can have your opinion, unobstructed by my career experience.
Same suppliers, same processes, sometimes the engineering is a little better or worse. I can promise you the Volkswagen has made absolute goddamn bonehead fucking mistake mistakes, where Chrysler has solved that X problem since the 80s. And that a high-end Mercedes AMG has some worse Y than any Hyundai on the road.
The truth is the suppliers built vehicles. There are good and bad decisions by vendors and suppliers everywhere.
But it’s all coming out of the same shops. CARpocalypse 2008 was not about bailing out GM Chrysler. But knowing if either of them went down, the entire automotive industry was going to knock on and tumble over.
You're suggesting the quality of a car is a function of the quality of its constituent parts. That's not the case. Quality is a function of those things, but also and more importantly the processes by which the car is assembled, and really ultimately dominated by the end-user experience of the driver.
Because if it isn’t automotive, just stop. And if it is automotive, have your managers send you to a plant.
It’s like you think someone is turning wrenches to assemble your car :D short version… wrenches are not allowed in major production lines of any brand.
It in the 30 years I’ve been in the industry. I’ve never seen that at any plant, and if I had, I wouldnt be the least bit shocked because things that seem strange to you might make sense on the 1-vehicle per minute scale.
Please help me out… mallet into what? All Chrsyler, DCX, Fiat, and now Stellantis vehicles I’ve worked on have exactly the same windshield attachment method that almost all vehicles have.
It’s all sheet metal or a frame trim that the windshield is glued to. No exceptions that I can think but maybe Tesla or Rivian does something dumb.
From McClaren to Chrysler 200, all vehicles on the road attach their windshields exactly the same way.
How do you think someone would repair it otherwise? Aside from being ignorant about the industry, you don’t even know how you local windshield repair shop works?
I want to know what magic attachment mechanism holds the glass!
Again, you’re allowed to be wrong, you just aren’t allowed to be this dumb without being corrected for the next person that knows nothing to come along and not realize you are making up claims left and right.
I really have no idea what your problem is with me, nor do I understand what you're trying to convey. I certainly don't see how any of this stuff relates to what I said. But, in any case, good sealioning effort, 10 on 10.
