That’s exactly what they are doing, and it’s extremely misleading.

I think they are basically taking all their EV related revenue minus EV spend and simply dividing it by the number of EVs sold. There is no real amortizing, depreciating, or any other sort of cost spreading major expenses like R&D, NRE, Capex, materials, labor, etc that are often substantial at during early phases of…

First Gear: This is a question for the Accountants in the audience. It seems damn near impossible to actually spend $100,000 more than the sale price on these vehicles to actually build them. No one on earth would greenlight something that ridiculous.  What weird accounting wizardry is going on to come up with that…

The E31 8 Series.

Nothing says rugged SUV quite like a front spoiler with 4" of clearance and a desktop monitor on the dash. I’m not a Toyota hater. I’ve had three Runners. I’m just disappointed as they have had twelve years to release this and it’s just not as cool as it could be. I’m sure they’ll sell very well. 

Absolutely a leadership issue. But also, everything about this Truck reeks of “Just get it out there, I don’t care anymore!” desperation.

Rivian seems to have nailed the market, in contrast. If Tesla had come out with something similar earlier, they would’ve done well, and wiped out a strong competitor at the same time.

Everything I read about this makes me feel like it’s a repeat of the DeLorean in the 80s. Terrible quality doomed the car, even though it was cool...and then there was the whole John/coke thing...which I suspect is similar to Elon’s arc.

The Cybertruck is going to be a business school case study for the next 100 years.

At least your truck “looks like the future” ... on a tow truck.

“Tesla really rushed these trucks out, what a nightmare.”

Is that how Gaetz, Boebert, and MTG were brought into existence?

It better be a whole lot smaller than the Charger, or the Europeans will buy even fewer than we Americans will.

Probably one of the least interesting EVs on the market. 

While I am still not a fan of GM products, this car’s style is still quite contemporary.

I’m so close to leaving this site, the slideshows are unbearable.

“1. A story guy, not a data guy. A story guy doesn’t care what’s true or accurate, he just loves a good story.”

Dave Ramsey is a boomer tool.  He friggen hates credit cards--even for those that are able to control their spending and take advantage of the protections and potential rewards/benefits they provide.  Plus, he thinks 15 year mortgages are actually a realistic option; when it absolutely isn’t given today’s wages and…

Toyota/Lexus body on frame SUV. One of mine has 350,000, the other is at 200,000 and i have zero concerns about it making it to 250,000. Land Cruiser, GX, 4Runner, LX, etc. If its a model made in Japan, you can count on it going the distance. Tundra, Tacoma, sequoia and other American/Mexican made models come in second…

Ugh. This is a spectacularly shitty take.
