I don’t want to endlessly argue this. You seem well informed enough to know that bank building a product has its downsides, such as increased time b/t production cost and recouped expenses. Also, you keep missing my point about geography. There are times when a company uses two different assembly points, and…

I agree, which is why I added a qualifier that this is the future IF it can be done “economically”. I do disagree with your second point. The whole point is that they no longer are just making crap, they are making Tesla cars. Yes their QC sucks, but it will last 45min.

Isn’t that exactly my point? That if this worked “economically” it could be the future? If you look, I added qualifiers.

I think you misunderstand what I am proposing. For one, some products have uneven demand. Why created a line that can produce 100k widgets a month if you plan on selling 1ook each the first 6 months and then only 50k widgets a month following. As is, the solution is lead time, not excess capacity. Second, the temp…

1) We have no idea about this sort of lines QC, although Tesla has terrible scrap rates anyways.

I bet he moves it to a state with lower taxes someday.. First they perfect the temp line while it’s with the other ones, then just set it up in a state with a favorable tax situation.

I know that this isn’t the point, but this is the future. The ability to rapidly, and hopefully economically, create a temporary assembly line that can be moved at will is some damn fine engineering. It has gallons of potential. Ex. Apple making a surge line to handle excess iPhone orders on a new phone.

If it is intended for next-gen consoles (Consoles that Xbox confirmed today), are you implying that dev kits have been created? Bethesda easily could get the 1st ones for E6 if it was going to be a launch title..

My Therapist spent 12 years as the county examiner, doing autopsies. He said he thought he was doing good for the community. Then he had a bit of a melt down, and decided he wanted a change. What’s the reverse of autopsies? Psychology. Live patients, and all he has to do is talk to them. It took him a few years of…

I respectfully disagree. After years of seeing badass trailers for mediocre games, I wish one company would just go “We have this badass game coming out. We will show you guys more closer to when it releases, but we’re not doing 1000 trailers over 2 years before that happens.”.

I wish more companies did the whole “and you can buy it today!” thing. I had a small kaniption when they did that with BOTW dlc.

My 2011 Chevy Cruze, which I still have, after 5 years. I mainly got it bc of an amazing deal with a 100k bumper to bumper.. Now, it may suck, but it’s fucking mine.

Every year they don’t announce Borderlands 3 I die a little inside.

I am replaying Destiny 2’s campaign, but this time with my new Duke controller.. Lots of nostalgia, but shit is that thing poorly designed. You have to use your ring fingers on the trigger if you want to be able to quickly hit the bumpers, and can’t hit menu or start while doing anything else. I do miss the black and…

I’m shocked that a major car company like GM or Ford doesn’t just buy Elio, and then make the car in one of their factories.. $375M is like nothing compared to the cost of bringing a new truck to market, and it would just be good headlines. I actually can’t imagine a better investment for the money, if your a major…

Jesus, I have no idea what happened. I read you post and it went right through my brain without any part of it sinking in. My apologies.

I love Just Cause 3.. It’s like a virtual Chuck Norris movie.

Tesla is not doing just fine. I advise googling it’s finances and investor/market oriented articles.

I wish game pass got more love from the fans. I grew up poor, with a single working mom. She was amazing, and would get me a console for Christmas, but then we’d never have any money to buy games, and had to save to rent them. If that thing existed when I was a kid, it would have opened up a whole new world of gaming…

I find it odd that Jalopnik didn’t do the leg work and find out what the actual rules about requiring side mirrors are..
