I am not an engineer but I spent 30 years fixing the things the engineer didn't think of.
This has nothing to do with passing the test but when you are working and once your design meets the real world I think they should spend more effort in making things serviceable and reliable.
Engineering these days seems to be more like "Don't make it as strong as you can, make it as cheap and light as you can get away with".
I understand they are hitting a price point but you need to look at the long term cost, not just the original purchase price.
German cars are probably the worst examples but they don't seem to take into account that someone will have to service this thing some day.
