Just because a lot of analysts use drugs doesn't give you the right to shame them ;)

Yes, the eclipse will actually happen the day they say it will

given how flat the panels are, I bet wrapping a CT would be easy. That doesn't necessarily make it any cheaper as a lot of the cost is the film itself, but it's not like wrapping a corvette either in terms of intricate cuts + angles

Granted it would be a royal pain to do much more than pinstripes, but a mopa laser can do color on stainless steel and it doesn't affect overall strength. As someone mentioned its more of an oxidation layer on top vs trying to color the whole panel through and through

72k sticker. I bet the dealers will be starting them off over 100k like the f150

Now all Rivian needs to do is actually produce and sell their vehicles, and not lose more than the purchase price on each one!

I wonder if the clear rock protection film would work out and help over a wrap for extra protection https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40066698/

Rivian if they were building and selling 50,000 a year would feel at least like they might stay around. I'm not sure how they pull out of where they are now. If part of it is that they're concentrating on the commercial vehicles that may work. But their Q1 2023 production/delivery was below Q4...

That's easy for me. The first experience will be dropping it off at a wrap shop to minimally get this done, as I'm not totally sold on the P40 design eating the tire so might have to go Halo Warthog instead.

The invoice?

maybe rivian too :D I'd still think 50 before incentives isn't completely terrible. That contract manufacturing is probably what's killing them on that price. so much depends on the small details of total hp/torque, kwh, charging speeds, etc. I'd think they'd do best working with golf cart...

What reporting today isn't clickbait? This article literally could be repeated for every auto manufacturer for every new vehicle model they've ever built during its alpha phase. The Ford Bronco, Maverick, Lightning, same with Mercedes, Toyota and all the rest too.

I'm on it because i'm a gen X nerd. That's really all it took. Then again, I owned an Aztek back in the day too :D

are you sure you didn't mean 4/31/2024?

Absolutely true, but if that X i mentioned is 150,000 miles it could be 15+ years to break even cleanness wise. If you look at it that way, it's likely that only a tiny fraction of teslas have broken even. That's a large part of my concern, that particularly with the longer ranges becoming the...

It's not false. At 0 miles on the odometer of each, the tesla has done more environmental damage than the camry. There is no question whatsoever about that. It takes X amounts of miles driven for the tesla to pass it, what exactly that X is certainly is debatable and depends on a lot of factors...

The thing is, tesla does more damage to the environment as of now than toyota. The metric here is "zero-tailpipe-emission vehicles", which ignores the extended carbon cost for mining + processing materials for batteries, specialized tires, etc. a camry hybrid has less carbon cost than a model 3...

Sort of like singer did in the 1940s with the sewing machines :) singer japanning

Start of production could be as little as establishing VIN numbers and getting plates printed for them. Or finalizing the owners manual. But it's encouraging

it's hungry? that is the problem with that idea vs the halo warthog, there isn't enough fender space in front of the tire to get a good big mouth
