“Oceana had always been at war with Euasia”

I’ve seen numerous comments from them declaring it is now in production, despite what the actual company says

I don’t think even the biggest fanboys would be willing to put money down.

I’m sure that’s one of the many many issues they’re trying to work out.

I see this the same way as that other camper retrofit company in Brooklyn: a cheap alternative living space in overly-priced cities. 

Actually really good birch plywood is more in the $200-300 range. For something like this, I would want top shelf materials.

Taking up valuable room for 5 pairs of shoes in such a small space...

it’s merely a headline-grabbing number. They can put any number they want on a form.

“resisting”

I watch a lot of dashcam videos on YT, and surprised by how many times someone does something completely stupid or illegal, it’s caught on camera, and even though cops get involved they don’t bother charging anything. Not to mention numerous videos of people doing illegal crap right in front of a police car and they…

Smart people knew this wasn’t a joke. 

That only matters if your income is click-based.

Seems like their market cap is buolt on the idea that they will always own a majority of the EV market as it continues to scale up, but that is at best unlikely, but realistically impossible. BYD is already kicking their butt in China and poised to all over the rest of the Asian region. All of the other automakers are…

The plan for many is: work your way up as fast as possible, strap on a golden parachute, then jump!

But you also have to factor in their profit margin. If it’s pennies on the dollar this can still make a big difference. a 20% increase on 10-15% of cost is a 2-3% total cost increase. If you’re only making a 5-10% profit margin, that’s a big bite.

Just remember, there’s 3 sides to every story! In this case, maybe 30 sides!

“Unboxing an e-bike made by some company in India with BMW painted on it and a jacked up price to match”

Funny how they put “to protect and serve” on their cars, but they are not required to do either, and often don’t!
