Antonio Pierce, former NFL player for the Giants had some dealers in Hazelton, PA (For lord knows what reason) and that ended poorly. They built a brand-new Nissan and maybe VW store (just looked it up and it was Hyundai) and it was so messed up that they ended up sitting empty for a while and now it looks like he is…

Taurus is a homebody? No one told me this... I would also bet that most people I know know that I don’t have a comfort zone unless the entire world is my comfort zone, so then...maybe?

Depends on how long the PIF lets the sunk cost fallacy happen in their Lucid investment. 

On seeking alpha the “cost of revenue” is defined as,

The bigger problem is, their revenue was $1.2bn but the cost of revenue was $1.7bn, meaning their gross profit is negative. I am not an accountant, so not sure what all they include in cost of revenue, but I know a negative gross profit is not great, some may even say very bad.

Knoebels! I am going up there in August or September, whatever Labor Day weekend is. I also know the dentist/orthodontist in Elysburg, haha.

If you really think into how much of what everyone does today runs on fossil fuels you will understand. Almost everything you interact with on a daily basis is interactable due to fossil fuels. I am all for reducing usage but ended usage in 6 years is 1,000,000% impossible.

Yep, that is my exact thought. And even with EV personal vehicles being a thing, most of the world’s electricity production is still fossil fuels. 6 years is BEYOND a pipe dream, it is like a heroin induced delirium termons on Jupiter dream.

I get that part, but world power generation is still majority fossil fuels along with pretty much everything that gets things places like boats, trains, planes and personal vehicles. Ending fossil fuel usage in 6 years is just not possible. 

“While crumbling infrastructure is mostly to blame for the issues Americans have with rail crossings...”

They said their actions were to highlight the need for an “emergency treaty to end fossil fuels by 2030.”

I took my 8 month pregnant wife there on a warm June day, she was not impressed. But it is a fun memory, we also figured out that the A/C in our car wasn’t working on that trip...

They serve an OK purpose, but in ‘20 and ‘21 they were flat out abused for industries and companies they weren’t meant for.

Yep, $1bn is a lot, but not enough. That was kind of the goal of the asset light production though. You can go look at Lucid and Rivian’s financials to see how much money it takes to create and sell a small amount of cars. 

Bz4X sales were up 647% because in April Toyota released a lease incentive worth $25k+ in all ZEV state regions. The more interesting part would be, are the OEM’s actually making money with this sales upticks or are they just incentivizing these to hell to help clear the EV’s out?

I have been saying this for years, but no one listens!!!

My buddy got a jail time ticket in college but they let him off without serving due to being an out of state college student. Luckily for work, I am mostly in PA, MD and WV. But once in a while I need to traverse VA to get to WV, so I have my system for not going to jail. 

That may be the case, I still think these are more of a gamble than a lot of other cars, even from defunct OEM’s.

A terrible looking one, but one none the less.
