Tesla Talk 2

You're not a public body so your analogy is mute.

These regulatory bodies of any shape whether they are automotive, building , food , whatever are not meant to express opinion whatsoever. I know you know this.

They are supposed to say something has passed their testing procedures or not. It's the reason they have ratings and objective tests. Whether it's an RFP for procurement or approval for a system or solution . Commerical opinion is left out of the results.

It's a small point overall in the scheme of this. But something that did stand out from your posts yesterday hence it drew my attention.

I'd be keen for you to show similar language for lets say BMW or Mercedes level 3 systems elsewhere in Europe ? Did they get express commerical approval language indicating how good they were against their competition? Since this is the done thing in your eyes.

I can categorically guarantee you a half decent litigator would be able to on behalf of another manufacturer have that statement retracted and reworded with very little effort or push back.

Il give you a proper and appropriate analogy, not like your boards sub forum one.

Let's say SEAT came in next month and passed all the same tests and exceptions that Tesla did. Seat get a pass statement and RDW doesn't give any commerical opinion on their rating in the market. So they ask for one and they want one. But RDW simply say that systems better though. Yet the both pass the exact same tests like for like.

What would be wrong here ? And do you understand why commercial opinons are not given. This isn't the norm at all. Like at all.

As I said before it's a small point I'm making but it is as a response to a quote you made. It's abnormal behavior and it ropes the regulatory body into all sorts of potential problems. These things can be used to advertise and market products there's a serious financial value attached to wording as such its ethically avoided.

We can agree to disagree all we like. But regulatory bodies do not and also cannot infer favoritism. You're even implying they infered favoritism with your wording. And you are claiming that's allowed.

It's not, neither in a ratings and regulations passing nor in a public RFP process. It's simply not allowed. I've been involved in dozens.

Have a good weekend.

I'm sitting here with my back ripping in pain while I wait on some mixer for my whiskey to ease it off and have an eased night.

Yet that pain is still preferable to reading the last 2 pages of word play and accusations and thankless bad faith posting dressed as concern that has plagued this thread for longer than I care to remember. I'm taking a break from here before I post something that earns me a ban ffs!

Water in whiskey man, or ice at maximum.

Are they in the room ? Or did you bump into them in the pub with two pints in their hand?
