My 2 cents - Amazon has 0 incentive to allow Rivian to be any more profitable than they need to be. And, what’s the brand value of a company that becomes known for low-cost, mass-production, bare-bones delivery vans?

Because the IIHS purchases the cars at random to avoid getting a ringer.

Also, I’d like to see one of those Chevy “real-life” customer commercials where tech’ed-up pickups are presented to a bunch of Houthis.

you could soon pay up to nine dollars more to fill up your F-150 at the pump

Wiesmann, a small car maker that makes everything by hand and only uses the finest components. I think they already do this over at McLaren, or Ferrari, or Lamborghini, or Aston Martin, or Bentley, or Rolls Royce, or Koenigsegg. Enjoy bankruptcy. And I usually blindly follow these guys thinking they will succeed.  

People like to think that California is this all-powerful, Liberal-Elitist, cesspool that just wants to inflict their vindictive will upon everyone else.

thanks in part to the EPA allegedly struggling to justify the move with data,

So apple shouldn’t be taxed in the EU because their products were developed in the US, but they also shouldn’t be taxed in the US because their HQ is in the EU.  Makes total sense. 

“I have not personally been to South Africa or know much about its colloquialisms in the 1970s when a young Musk would have been reared there.”

So,in other words, you have absolutely no valid input regarding this issue, you haven’t even researched the term or its’ use in the relevant geographic area and time period, and…

I see you don’t have much corporate experience. This is business as usual for corporate America, not just Tesla / Elon Musk. American business executives live to drive shorter and shorter schedules, ignoring concerns from Engineering and passing the blame or flat out retiring before the effects of their poor…

I agree that haphazardly making a lap record attempt isn’t a good idea (unsafe for drivers and spectators alike) however I do detect a strong undercurrent of gate keeping in the article. If Tesla can show up and in a few weeks lay down an impressive lap, let alone a record, that would be great. It could be their first…

You may be an expert on the subject and no doubt this is an arduous challenge, but really you’ve left yourself no cover at all. You’ve denounced the entire effort as example of “Elon Musk Twitter bullshit”. But if he manages to pull this off, where is your fallback?  Denounce it as cheating? Beginner’s luck? Really, it…

This paragraph is exactly what Tesla is all about:

I died of dysentery.

Another failed “Tesla Killer” that doesn’t even have the performance to match it let alone beat it.  Boring.

185K? So, Tesla still has the market cornered on the whole premium EV sedan with the Model S then. I admittedly haven’t paid that much attention to this things development, but I thought this was actually meant to be a Model S competitor. At that price.... no.

AMD makes $6.48 billion USD annually in revenues.

Look at the list.

Look at the list.

To be fair, every Nissan Altima looks like that in LA.

Again - too much analysis. Literally all you need to know is Obama touched it, so Trump is going to try to undo it. There is no more depth to any of his decisions than this. Fuck the economy, the environment, the poor, immigrants, ecology, animals, science and facts. As long he’s seen to be undoing something the evil…
