While I am aware of this, it’s a quote, and has been used incorrectly enough over the last 50 years that you knew exactly what they meant by it.

It’s not really valid though. There’s three numbers, the variable cost per unit, the margin per unit, and the fixed costs that get amortized over volume.

Plus, you can drive a Rivian all day long without people giving you the finger or laughing at you. 

Rivian.

2nd: A compact SUV optimised for city driving?  Bentley is building a fucking crossover.

It shouldn’t even do *that.* They should be reporting Cost Of Goods, and they’re not because the truth doesn’t make for a snappy headline. They’re relating the sale price of a single truck to Rivian’s TOTAL EXPENSES. That’s including all the money spent up front developing products before there were products to sell.…

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.

They know what they’ve got, but they don’t want to keep it.  I wonder why.

Here’s an idea: Don’t buy one. The bros who already did can suck it up.

Finally saw one of these on the road last week. Damn, they’re even uglier in person.

There are dozens of new ones piled up in mall parking lots around here waiting to be sold, while their stupid stainless bodies deteriorate in the sun and rain and bird crap.

the woman dropping off the flyer told her “good, me either, I’m just doing this because I need the money”.

“As much as I want to say these people got what they deserved, I know that at least some of them were just doing whatever they could to earn a buck.”

It’s important to note that they weren’t told which candidate they were campaigning for until after they were hired.

As much as I want to say these people got what they deserved, I know that at least some of them were just doing whatever they could to earn a buck.

As lil John once said, “don’t start no shit, there won’t be no shit.”

Can you even repair a CyberTruck with that kind of body damage? I’m betting it’s totalled.

Right? That’s what I was thinking. Imagine if someone was shot and killed over some cheap trinket.

$30,000 in damage to save a $20 Etsy necklace! Huzzah!
