What about retirees hopping into a 60,000lb RV coach with zero training?

Can we all get on the same page that drivers should have some large truck training before being allowed to rent a full-size box truck? These things take significantly more effort, attention, and anticipation to drive than passenger vehicles and it blows my mind that some random average (moron) driver can hop from…

“but still mean that Rivian is losing more than $39,000 on every single EV it sells”

Nothing gets lower. It’s a mind fuck. Like gas will go up 25 cents and then down 20 cents and people will say it’s lower! No it’s still 5 cents more than it was.

My policy.

The correct headline should be that it loses $40,000 PER vehicle it sells. “On” every vehicle it sells falsely implies there is a marginal loss of $40k for each additional vehicle it sells. In reality, more vehicles sold reduces the per-vehicle loss.

Please stop publishing headlines suggesting a company “loses” money on every sale. In addition to being a gross oversimplification of how R&D spending and actual manufacturing costs work, it’s just wrong on its face.

My snark was directed at the rather ambiguous (but since corrected) “$997,00" figure.

Hit the nail on the head here.

I know this is a bit of snark, but I don’t think people value their health, range of motion, etc. enough. This guy is in his 70's, out cycling. He’s probably put a lot into his life staying healthy, making good choices, so that he could feel good in his old age and do the things he loves. And then someone careless and…

Well shit, so does driving on the NJ Turnpike.

“crossing the Atlantic Ocean eastbound in three hours and ten minutes”

Why’d they charge you?

From where to where? It takes seven hours to fly from New York to London.

I don’t believe it. Send Elon into space for 24 months. I bet he’ll be fine.

Just drill down really deep, take a bit out of Earth’s core, seal it, spin it really fast and voila! personal energy shields!
