  1. My school had woodwork and metal work shops, along with the usual science labs. But even then metalwork was for the less bright boys. REALLY! They had a sand casting foundry, lathes, milling machines, grinders the full nine yards. Though back then no CNC. I was apprenticed by the (then nationalised) electricity generator. I got the best general engineering training that was going. It taught me that what looks right usually is right. Today I see do much stuff that’s too big in the wrong places (excess weight) and too small in other places unreliable. I’ve just been given an adult push scooter it uses 8mm pins everywhere totally inadequate and it’s well bashed up. Mr car has huge cast iron brake callipers. They weigh a ton right where you least want the weight.

  2. Profits were made. Big money was made but rather than suck up to the fund managers, who want “income” dividend payments, the management ploughed the money back into the business. When the profits do arrive they are huge and very solid. Tesla is almost exactly echoing Amazon.
