seit nun schon 1.6.2021 mindestens werden Model S-Autos an der Osgood Road in Fremont "ausgebrütet".

Interessanterweise sieht man ab und zu jemanden dort arbeiten. Aber was?

26.8.2021


Breite: 37°30'48.89"N
Länge: 121°56'42.30"W


Fotografiert wird meistens von Nord nach Süd wegen der Rampe im Süden, auf die der Auto Mall Parkway verläuft:

• vom Logistics-Parkplatz der Fabrik mit den fertigen Autos sind es ca. 3 km Luftlinie bis zur diesem "Model S-Friedhof":

Auf mich macht das den Eindruck, daß Tesla bei den Problemen, die offensichtlich mit der Modell-Erneuerung des Model S aufgetreten sind, bis heute keine wirklichen Lösungen gefunden hat.

Ob Tesla daher überhaupt nochmal eine Modell-Erneuerung für das Model X in Angriff nehmen wird?

=> ich denke nun, das Model S und X so langsam auslaufen werden (und damit das Ende von Fremont besiegeln werden bis 2025?) und quasi als Ersatz, obwohl eine ganze andere Klasse, der Cybertruck aus Austin, TX weiterhin in Aussicht gestellt wird (obwohl bis heute kommerziell Vaporware).

Fremont: ob diese mutmaßlichen Fehl-Produktionen alle richtig in der Bilanz abgebildet sind?

Ich glaube eher nicht.

Eli Whitney und Elon Musk (5/5)

aber damit nicht genug der Parallelen:
...
“By his tenacity he so perfected the manufacture of arms that with the subsequent adoption of his system...the government saved $25,000 annually”—so says the Dictionary of American Biography, which goes on to give Whitney credit (as do Nevins and Mirksy) for an invention of exceptional importance in the history of manufacturing: “Of the various machines designed and used by Whitney only one is known to exist. This is a plain milling machine which was built prior to 1818, and is believed to be the first successful machine of its kind ever made.”
...
In “Eli Whitney and the Milling Machine,” published in the Smithsonian Journal of History in 1966, Edward A. Battison concludes: “There is no evidence that Whitney developed or used a true milling machine.”

The so-called Whitney machine of 1818 seems actually to have been made after Whitney’s death in 1825. The first true milling machine was made not by Whitney, Battison suggests, but by Robert Johnson of Middletown, Connecticut.
...


“In the final analysis,” Merritt Roe Smith wrote in 1981, “Whitney’s most important contribution to the American System stemmed not from any technical innovations he made but from his active promotion of the engineering ideal of uniformity.” In addition to Eli Whitney the inventor of the cotton gin and Eli Whitney the overrated manufacturer, what historians give us now is Eli Whitney the promoter and publicist—an early master of the art of public relations.

ist das das "Solar Roof" des 18. / 19. Jahrhunderts?
...
“Whitney must have staged his famous 1801 demonstration with specimens specially prepared for the occasion....it appears that Whitney purposely duped government authorities...[and] encouraged the notion that he had successfully developed a system for producing uniform parts.”
...

aber auch:
...
“from 1801 to 1806 Whitney not only failed to fulfill the contract, he regularly substituted long letters of excuse for honest effort to carry out his obligation, while he chased the richer prize of rewards he expected from the cotton gin.”
...

"It took Whitney a long time to learn to make muskets, but he quickly mastered the art of getting contract extensions."

Eli Whitney und Elon Musk (3)

...und das hier auch
...
Modern researchers have tested the Whitney firearms that survive, with results that astonished those who had grown up believing the Whitney legend.

The tests showed that, in some respects, the parts of Whitney’s firearms were not even approximately interchangeable. Moreover, many parts of Whitney’s muskets are engraved with special marks—marks that would only be necessary if the manufacturer had failed to achieve interchangeability.

Eli Whitney und Elon Musk (2)

das kommt einem doch auch bekannt vor:
...
Whitney was quick to master the art of obtaining extensions from government authorities. Part of his technique was to insist upon the revolutionary nature of the production methods he was developing.

As early as July 1799, he explained to worried officials that his factory would embody a “new principle” of manufacturing: “One of my primary objects,” he wrote to Secretary of the Treasury Oliver Wolcott, “is to form the tools so the tools themselves shall fashion the work..."
...
Though Whitney spoke of adopting a “new principle” in his factory, not even his most ardent defenders credit him with discovering the principle of interchangeable parts.

Eli Whitney’s Other Talent
May/June 1987
https://www.americanheritage.com/eli-whitneys-other-talent
...
“Bankruptcy and ruin were constantly staring me in the face,” the would-be manufacturer wrote happily to a friend later that year, “and disappointment trip’d me up every step I attempted to take, I was miserable....I knew not which way to turn....By this contract I obtained some thousands of Dollars in advance which saved me from ruin.”

The only problem was that Whitney had contracted to deliver ten thousand stands of arms by September 30, 1800, and he had never before made a musket.

There is nothing new about the delays and cost overruns that plague military procurement: Whitney did not deliver his first batch of arms until nearly a year after the original contract had expired, and he did not complete the contract until January 1809—more than eight years late.

Elon Musk muss eine spätere Biografie von Eli Whitney gelesen haben

Deshalb redet er (EM) mMn auch so gerne von "real-world AI"; zum Beispiel:


https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1420961837479305225


So nach dem Motte später vor einem RichterIn: "Die anderen arbeiten im Labor mit Simulationen, aber ich in der Real-world, was so noch niemand vor mir versucht und geschafft hat!"
