The rating system that Tesla’s mechanics in Sweden are judged by seems to incentivize poor service. Troubleshooting is discouraged and pushing the car out the door in shortest time possible encouraged.^1

It’s pretty much the opposite of what we did in a similar field of work. Getting things right on the production line, even at the cost at stopping it, usually saves money long term. I’d wager it’s similar with car service, repeat visits eats unnecessary resources and makes customers dissatisfied.

There’s a decent chance unionisation at Tesla Sweden would improve Tesla by improving the rating system used for wage negotiations.

So what, we can’t use diacritics. Everyone still understand the words perfectly fine and it prevents issues like this.

The other day I came across vaxer.stockholm. I was shocked and appalled when it dawned on me it was Stockholm municipality’s urban development website, rather than a website about waxes and where to get them in the Stockholm area.

växer.stockholm redirects to vaxer.stockholm, and would be translated as growing.stockholm.
