As someone who works in the industry, and done plenty of work for Tesla, I can create a far greater list of all the things they've fucked up in the industry, including electrification.
Not ~~consuming~~ implying you’re wrong but I’d really like to see that list.
Very, very broadly, I'd say a lot of my concerns boil down to them convincing the broader industry as a whole that cutting costs and delivering a shit product is okay, so long as you're doing it as a "technology company"
Pushing out buggy, half-baked SW because "we'll fix it with an OTA" and a recall has little to no direct financial impact, allowing for you to gamble lives on hopefully getting a SW update out before the bugs cause accidents or deaths, rather than spending the time/money to get it right from the start.
Removing stuff like important, standard hard controls (buttons/stalks/etc) to make everything a touch control, purely for cost cutting, but acting like it's because buttons are "old tech"
Pushing that 100% BEV is the only current solution, rather than pushing for a far cheaper mass improvement of fuel economy and scaling BEVs as HEVs grow too, especially in developing markets.
Using a proprietary charging standard for nearly a decade, solely as a sales tactic, and only cooperating with other OEMs once it allowed them to collect government subsidies
Those are just a few I can think of off the very top of my head, and the ones I've seen have the most impact on the broader industry. I can go into more detail on any of them as well.
