Back in the early 90s I was installing some of my machines at the GM testing facility in Upstate NY. where they subjected vehicles to every conceivable in-climate environment they could imagine. This meant that one of my machines was to be installed in a room where the temperatures could reach -40°f and + 125°f One of the young engineers was asking me several questions about how did I know my machines would stand up to the cold and the heat they would be subjected to.
Well first off I have machines installed in Juno Alaska and Duluth MN. secondly I have machines installed in Israel and Saudi Arabia as well as in Hawaii Australia and in the PNW out in the Olympics so I know they have been subjected to real world hot cold dry and wet some of them have been in service as much as 20 years before I bought into the company and started adding my input to their designs. That's how I know these machines will stand up. And if you want to learn how ot make the GM products survive in all extreme conditions take a step backwards in the automotive world revisit the things that had to be done to the vehicles that were part of the Dew Line and the equipment that was used to carry supplies for the power grids throughout central and South America as well as the vehicles used to traverse the Deserts of North Africa when you can combine all of their traits into a modern day vehicle paying particular attention to the accessibility and repairing of anything which might wear out under normal conditions then and only then will GM Ford or Chrysler be able to make a decent vehicle that will most probably last through at least 2 complete generations of users.
But if we did that there would be no need for dealership repair centers and we wouldn't be able to sell as many new vehicles each year.
EXACTLY was my last comment.
