Apropos nothing... Everyone always talking about quantum computing and quantum information as the big second-generation* quantum-tech applications. (Someday I will get into what I think about quantum computing.) But there's a whole world of quantum sensing out there that's way more successful, starting with atomic clocks, which are already an established second-gen quantum technology.

Here's a recent result in quantum sensing:

* First-generation quantum tech is things that rely on the quantum nature of materials. The whole semi-conductor industry, and lasers, are the primary examples. Second-generation quantum tech is technology that relies on quantum control: the active building and control of quantum systems. By far the earliest example, and the most commercially advanced, is quantum clocks. But there are other types of quantum sensors on the market (mainly quantum magnetometers).

[animeengineer]

I was referencing the things put forth by OP, in order:

Huge wiring harnesses simplified: Cybertruck Guy and Radmad are both wrong, for different reasons.

Current industry standards don't have separate wires for each individual switch or control, either. They group several switches, lights, etc. that are nearby together, run them into a microcontroller, and put that controller on a vehicle bus. Currently that's usually a CAN (redundant, fault-tolerant) or LIN (neither, but much simpler) bus. This drastically simplifies wiring harnesses.

The main thing Tesla has done is change the DC voltage for that bus from 12 V to 48 V nominal. Since power is voltage times current, and wire thickness is dependent on current, this cuts about half the copper mass out of the power lines in the harness. The other (data) lines were already using smaller wires. The industry has been flirting with a 48V bus for around two decades by now; Tesla just went and did it and dealt with the engineering problems when they popped up. And this is a rare case where "they're a bunch of Silicon Valley nerds" may have helped: datacenters have been using 48V DC for in-rack power delivery for decades, so they had more familiarity with it than Detroit.

They've also adopted single-pair Ethernet (1000base-T1) for the high-speed entertainment data links. This technology has been in the industry since late 2016. It's usually integrated directly onto the custom ICs in ECUs. I remember another thread like this with a tweet where someone was complaining about the fragility of RJ-45 plugs and how that's disqualifying for a vehicle, and he's right, but single-pair Ethernet does not use those jacks; it's integrated into wiring harnesses with everything else.

Astronauts laded on the moon with altitude markers hand etched on the window: That was a backup system dramatized by the Apollo 13 movie. They had an inertial navigation system, like aircraft do, as their primary navigation.

Oh, and it's attitude, not altitude. Very different concepts that folks should not mix up.

Can't get a rocket off the pad without blowing up: Neither could NASA their first few years. Meanwhile SpaceX had 98 successful orbital flights last year, and they can reuse their boosters (the record is 18 times). But that's way off topic.

Tesla Model Y broke: It's not news when non-Teslas lose power steering, apparently. And I've had cars that took many more than three appointments to fix. We can throw around anecdata all day.

Series wiring like Christmas lights: Come on, you've got no basis for that.

It's like the Titan sub: Sigh. Really?

Okay, now to the RDN link:

the vehicle’s angular design and stainless steel body could pose danger to other road users

Absolutely true. Also true of almost every luxury pickup truck on the market. One example:

I'm all for figuring out some kind of regulatory regime to rein this in. Or maybe a modification of liability rules and increased insurance coverage minimums.

“The big problem there is if they really make the skin of the vehicle very stiff by using thick stainless steel, then when people hit their heads on it, it’s going to cause more damage to them,”

True, but it's not that thick or stiff; the speaker was speculating. Other have pointed out that "we shot it with a Tommy gun" is a lousy test because the bullets are rather low velocity. If you watch the side impact crash test, you can see the side panels visibly flexing.

And right after that, an IIHS rep said, “IIHS hasn’t evaluated the Cybertruck. The discussions we’ve seen so far appear to be based on speculation. I would add that our experience with Tesla is that they aim for the highest safety ratings in IIHS tests. We have no reason to expect anything different with the Cybertruck.”

The biggest problem with Teslas, from insurance companies' perspectives, has been that airbag-deployed collisions tend to result in totaling the vehicle more often than in other cars. Occupant safety, on the other hand, seems to be better than average. We've seen people walk away from their Model 3s after they got T-boned by speeding pickups (60-ish MPH in a 30 zone). We know this from accident reconstruction and camera data.

There's a linked video in the article comparing the Tesla Cybertruck collision to a Dodge Ram 1500. There are several others like it on YouTube (I saw one that had six trucks in it, all synced up). They all have the same flaw: they're comparing different crash types. The Cybertruck is doing a full frontal crash, where you drive the vehicle into a solid, immovable wall, while the others are moderate overlap crashes, where the hood goes over the obstacle and only the left 1/3 of the vehicle is obstructed, so the engine can deflect to the sides instead of going into the firewall and then the passenger compartment. The Cybertruck, of course, does not have a large engine in that space; it's mostly cargo storage. And we can clearly see it crumpling and the front wheel moving outward instead of back into the passenger compartment, like practically all cars do now.

(Some folks like to point out how the rear wheel breaks away, too: this is expected because it's a steering wheel, since the Cybertruck has four-wheel steering, and uses the same suspension technology as the front, instead of connecting the rear wheels more directly to the rear axle like most vehicles. Not completely directly, though, like the Chevy Corvair's swing axles. In any case, kinetic energy breaking the rear wheels off like that is energy that isn't compromising the cabin.)

The article addresses the "lack" of crumple zones:

Samer Hamdar, a George Washington University auto safety professor, told Reuters that while a lack of crumple zones concerned him, there could be other factors that accounted for it. “There might be a possibility of shock-absorbent mechanism that will limit the fact that you have a limited crumple zone,” Hamdar said.

I'm not going to speculate about crumple zones beyond the above ("the cargo area collapses, taking some energy with it; we have to see if that's enough to call a crumple zone, but it's not nothing") until someone tears one down and documents it. But crumple zones aren't the only means of keeping kinetic energy out of the passengers.

The rest of the article goes back to concerns about pedestrian safety, which seem to be the main substantive concern, and is noted at the end of this video:

And again, pedestrian safety is an industry-wide problem. We need another Ralph Nader, but demonizing Tesla alone (god it's so easy, Elon is such an asshole) only gives cover to the rest of the industry. And none of the tweets in OP's post spoke of this.

The Sky Wars: How EasyJet Battles Giants in Europe's Aviation Arena

In the skies, where a single mistake can strand an entire operation, EasyJet has emerged as a compelling case study in strategic adaptability and resilience. This London-based British low-cost airline operates to 30 countries and has made flying accessible for Europeans in millions. But under those orange planes is a complex series of strategic decisions that propel survival in one of the world's most cutthroat industries.

Weathering Political Storms and Economic Turbulence

Brexit struck EasyJet like surprise turbulence at 30,000 feet. As a British firm heavily reliant on European routes, leaving the EU posed an instant risk of extinction. The airline stood to lose access to lucrative intra-European routes that constituted the core of their business model. This political turmoil led management to contemplate radical alternatives, such as relocating headquarters or restructuring ownership to ensure EU compliance.

But each storm cloud has a silver lining. While uncertainty was ushered in through Brexit, declining fuel prices and interest rates in the UK brought relief. These economic tailwinds enabled EasyJet to sustain passenger growth even as profit fell, demonstrating how external factors test and enable business operations at the same time.

Social disruptions, like the French air traffic controller strike, made EasyJet realize that global operations entail working with various political and cultural surroundings. Such events, though unexpected, underscore the necessity of creating strong operating plans to withstand external shocks.

Digital Wings: Technology as a Game Changer

The digital revolution changed EasyJet's operational DNA. Those days of winding queues at airport counters are over. Cashless payments and online booking systems revolutionized customer experience while slashing operational costs by a large margin. This technological revolution perfectly complemented EasyJet's primary strategy of keeping costs low through operational efficiency.

However, being legally compliant is always challenging. Aviation law is stringent, and any breach incurs heavy financial losses and reputational costs. Environmental factors, particularly adverse weather, disproportionately impact low-cost carriers due to their thinner profit margins compared to legacy airlines.

Internal Strengths: Creating Competitive Moats

EasyJet's internal organization is both a testament to remarkable strengths and unnerving weaknesses. Its low-fare model is a magnet for market share, with high brand recognition across Europe generating credibility and customer confidence. Twenty years of history have provided EasyJet with precious relationships and operating experience that cannot easily be mimicked by new entrants.

But their minimalist approach leaves them with gaps in services. While others offer complimentary meals and more services, EasyJet's minimalist approach may discourage tourists who seek more complete holidays. Their heavy dependence on flights and travel within Europe exposes them most to political turmoil such as Brexit.

Reputation and human capital are the company's most precious assets. Qualified flight staff are in short supply, and the reputation of EasyJet provides access to capital and investment markets that new market entrants do not have.

Navigating Competitive Crosswinds

Porter's Five Forces analysis shows the complex competitive dynamics EasyJet operates on a daily basis. Customers have vast power with them, constantly comparing prices and services offered by several airlines. This customer mobility compels ongoing innovation with cost discipline.

Supplier relationships are particularly difficult. Producers of aircraft like Airbus have focused on markets and have enormous bargaining power. Multi-billion-pound contracts bind airlines into long-term agreements that are expensive and difficult to modify.

New entry threats remain containable owing to massive capital needs and regulatory hurdles. But innovations such as Hyperloop systems have the potential to disrupt local travel markets in the next decade.

Industry competition remains intense, with each competitor vying to pursue different strategies. Ryanair competes on ultra-low prices, while British Airways competes on several segments simultaneously.

Directional Choice: Strategic Flight Path

EasyJet's strategic options fall within Porter's generic strategies model. Its current cost leadership approach is based on operational effectiveness and economies of scale. Successful as it has been, this one is its weakness in changing market conditions.

Diversified differentiation strategies are promising. Enhanced reservation systems, upscale service levels, or custom-tailored customer experiences could command premium prices without weakening market appeal.

Bowman's Strategic Clock suggests that hybrid positioning may maximize EasyJet's market position. Combining acceptable prices with discriminatory service differentiation may expand their clientele base while improving profitability.

Conclusion 

EasyJet's strategic odyssey demonstrates how leading businesses maneuver challenging, changing environments with adaptive strategy. Brexit tested their core business model, but the company proved highly resilient by riding technological progress and operational excellence. Their journey proves that sustainable competitive advantage calls for ongoing strategic adaptation instead of dogmatic adherence to individual strategies. As European aviation keeps changing, EasyJet's capacity to balance cost leadership with selective differentiation will define their future success in progressively competitive skies.  If you would like to delve further, go to desklib's website and delve deeper into this topic using our AI researcher tool.
