Rivian is poaching employees from everywhere right now, many of whom bring “trade secrets” with them. Tesla isn’t special in that regard.

Good. Its unnecessarily complicated for minimal gains.
The whole Skyactiv initiative is getting more and more pointless. It’s not what the small proportion of enthusiasts wanted or what the large general population cared. The long years Mazda spent in development and its proclaimed technical advantage really resulted in marginal real world improvement, especially compared…
There’s a reason why every other manufacturer gave up on working on this technology, it’s either emissions or reliability
Called that shit when the engine was announced. It’s probably just like their diesel and it won’t pass CARB.
I feel terrible that I never spotted that.
Because literally everything that moron touches turns to a festering pile of shit? His approval ratings are in the tank and for a variety of savvy business reasons it’s better to distances yourself from abject losers as quickly and as starkly as possible?
Stern gave me good advice 20 years ago when I wanted to upgrade my halogen headlights to HID and he knew what he was talking about then. Here I am now with 25 years experience engineering, 20 of it in the automotive biz and 5 in the automotive headlight biz and he’s still right.
That’s not how competition works. Jeep knows it’s not going to have the place to itself now. It’s hard to imagine the Bronco wont be an objectively better vehicle so they need to keep people interested the best way they know how: by stuffing a big V8 into it.
The problem is that the valuation assumes continued growth at the pace they’ve been at for many years into the future, with no changes to the conditions that have permitted their expansion thus far. No existing base of EVs, no real competition from established marks, longest economic expansion in history, etc.
No, it’s a car company that sells “EV Credits” to stay afloat
Why would they want to do that?
The stock market is on crack right now, but TSLA stock is running down Wall Street naked, freebasing, with a needle in each arm. That’s talent.
Also, doesn’t putting the motors in the wheels put them at greater risk of damage in an accident? I would assume that after the battery, the motors are one of the major cost items in an EV.
Trump proved that we don’t all want the same thing. There was a brilliant quote, not from a speech writer or pundit but from a random redditor: “We used to agree on what we wanted this country to be, we just had different views on how we should get there. Its clear now we have vastly different views on what we want…
Off the charts is an expression. In any event, they are about 10% worse than the next worse car maker. That is a larger gap than any of the other competitors. So that means they really are off the charts bad.
they don’t survey literally everyone who buys a new car. they do a random sampling to get a statistically significant selection of new car buyers.
Probably going easy on him because he’s a kid still. Which is understandable.
Pick your platitude.
