This is what you get when you chase TVM, get rid testing, bs your way through milestones, and then let execs make a couple thousand late changes. Reap what you sow.

Our executives and CEO need to know we aren't good enough to go without prototype vehicles and quality focused test fleets. Our CAE work is pretty bad, we often sc--w up boundary conditions.

The key metric is number of late changes which is huge. This should be monitored at the highest levels. Most late changes are made under difficult circumstances where the engineer is constrained and tooling has purchased. The end result too often is weak, unreliable designs and recalls.

And who at Ford is being held accountable? Crickets!

Cut back on prototypes/testing and this is what you reap.

No one can catch up! Way to go down!

Yes mind blowing experience as per douggie
