They've been going 100mph for years now. It doesn't come as a surprise to me that they haven't gone back and made it pretty.

While not even remotely on the same scale, I just spent 3 weeks building an app as fast as possible because my client's old one was causing 75% of their support calls. The code isn't pretty, but it works and it works a lot better than the old one. I know deep down that code is going to stay ugly for a while but that isn't what's important right now.

So one ugly hack was replaced with another somewhat less ugly hack, which will be replaced by another hack at a later date.

Sounds like every corporate environment I ever encountered, and Tesla it seems. It usually happens becuase they have the money to do it wrong multiple times rather than no choice but to get it right the first time.

They are making vehicles, not apps.

I understand that.

I guess I was commenting more on the general messiness he was describing. I can empathize with it is all. I can see how quickly and easily it happens in the small apps I build, I can't imagine how hard it would be to reign it all in at Tesla scale at the pace they've been going.
