Woah - so much for electric vehicle simplicity that cooling system looks horrendous!
As species we are prone to amnesia, things learnt by previous generations of designers are often forgotten by next generations as they are focusing on different "new" critical problems , so potential issues that would have simply been designed out by an earlier designer will sometimes re-surface. The Boeing 737 max saga is a good example of this.
Why snowflakes?
An abundance of cheap oil and the lobbying powers of big business.
Also a lot of wanting to use the latest and greatest (even if not needed).As species we are prone to amnesia, things learnt by previous generations of designers are often forgotten by next generations as they are focusing on different "new" critical problems , so potential issues that would have simply been designed out by an earlier designer will sometimes re-surface.

What I find most interesting is that they are unable to take responsibility for their own actions. It is always someone else’s fault.generation naming thing - last normal one was generation x, been sliding off a precipice ever since
you can't debate, explain, or show a snowflake how the world works or how to do anything as they are too delicate to cope….. I see even wiki can't bring themselves to use the real name !!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation
Younger people seem to have lost a bit of understanding / intuition along the way and cannot spot something “that does not look right”
Seems that is what they are taught...how to get a job, rather than how to do the job.................. but we employ some kid who presents well and says they'll only be happy when CEO by 26th birthday and richer than Bill Gates by 30.

I had to put modern apprentices through hand tool courses as they couldn’t use a screwdriver, never mind about a hacksaw or soldering iron…When i worked in RR we used to work the shutdown during the summer holidays , this is when we had undergraduates in from the Universities who would come in for some work experience.
These students were third year mechanical engineering graduates who could not drill + tap a hole , attempt to arc weld , use a lathe / milling / grinding machine which i found utterly astounding for someone who wants to get into the engineering trade. Over the last few years when we have been interviewing for engineering techs and the standard of the people we get applying just astounds me as to their lack of knowledge about basic eng skills.
There should be some form of bench trade test for applicants - strip a small gearbox / make a shaft / cut a keyway / rebuild gearbox , then we can talk about employment. If you can interrogate a PLC as a faultfinding tool and add a few lines of code for a modification then all the better.

Fixed that for you…I bet they’re all devils at swiping right though!
