Eh, depends on what theyre attempting to find out. If theyre interested in subjective data, qualitative questions can be sufficient. Plus, quantitative questions run into issues if theres no fixed schedule, for instance. Though in general, I agree.

True. Though it only becomes a problem with longer travel distances, where youd require more than one stop to charge. And at that point, the size of the battery is a larger annoyance I reckon.

Not sure about making a loss, thatd depend on how you calculate it… Fully agreed on compliance car though.

Good points actually. But those are things you need to think about first. Price is an immediate, obvious benefit. :)

In fact, next year youll get 150% of the battery at half its price. Which is just bonkers…

I mean, true, but a small charge rate isnt that big of an issue if the battery is also small. It just gets difficult if the two dont match up well. That said, at that price, they couldve added that small QoL thing…

The draw of a small car is a small price. 39k isnt small. Add to that a pretty small range and yeah… Not surprised it didnt sell well. It couldnt compete with cars in its price range, and it couldnt compete with cars in its class. A shame, but not a surprise.

Ill admit I misremembered - its just 3x as many incidents. Still not good, especially as these are only the ones they had to report, where people died or were unable to work for more than three days. And while these numbers are for the german factory, the environment is the same. Same company, same lack of unionisation, same structure. So if the numbers are different, its not cause Tesla is a better place to work at in Sweden.

The latter part of your question is weird though - I said theres more environmental incidents, which may have an effect on worker health. That was conjecture on my part and a reason why more protection (ie via unionisation) is important. If theres a leak in a tank full of paint, its an environmental hazard and a health hazard, even if workers arent immediately unable to work. Fumes arent great for lungs, liver, kidneys… And thats just one example of what could go wrong…

They have consistently elevated counts of workplace accidents, by as much as a factor of ten compared to other automotive manufacturers. Theres also a pretty high number of environmental incidents which may also be hazardous to longterm health of employees. Its not just about getting a decent wage.

Id probably just ask Mustang. We can all theorise about wether the electronics would be fine with just using an adaptor, but we cant know for certain. Ask the manufacturer this same question. They should give you a reasonable answer (preferably in writing) and if their answer is wrong, they can pay for damages if something does happen.
