Ya that one doesn’t make sense either…

Yet zero in Charlotte. Sure Houston is the 4th most populous city in the US, but zero for the 16th largest? Even Nashville at 21st most populous has 13 participating stores. This is a head-scratcher…

Very odd how they choose locations for the event. I’m in Charlotte, NC. Zero stores. A few hours south in Atlanta, GA, the website listed 40 stores. Not arguing that Atlanta is much bigger than Charlotte, but 0:40? Even Nashville, TN has 13.

The "Gamer Drop page" just goes to Walmart.com. Is the URL correct, or not live yet?

Can a golf cart do this? "The new Ranger will have a towing capacity of up to 2,500 lbs and a hauling capacity of 1,250 lbs."

These vehicles are really sought after with customers who have large properties. May not be a huge market, but this will do really well in the niche. Especially among hunters.

I’m curious how good the deals were when supply chains are still having issues. Why discount your products if you don’t have enough to sell?

Finally. I could understand the desire to do this during the Model 3 ramp, but there’s no good reason for it now. Don’t burn out your employees. It doesn’t matter if the car is shipped in week 8, week 10, week 12 or week 14. Either way, it’ll be counted in 2021. Just artificially pulling forward deliveries.

They continue to overengineer. Thats why even after flashy CES events they still haven’t shipped a product. Looks like things haven’t changed. Back to bankruptcy.

I didn’t sign up for having distracted drivers, but here we still are…

Doesn’t sound like the driver was alert enough. If it started going into the wrong lane the driver should have taken over then.

This is why I believe Tesla doesn’t need to roll out the software to any lower safety scores at the moment. There is a flood of new users. Improve the software from their data, and once that’s accomplished, continue to roll out the software to more users. From my understanding the limiting factor is the training network, not the amount of data.

Their current lackluster production run rate is also to point out – https://insideevs.com/news/542908/rivian-production-numbers-first-month/

Just over 1 car a day is NOT mass production.

This announcement has everything to do with manufacturing and nothing else. The van is already designed and in protype. The announcement is about producing the vehicle.

No. No they’re not. Do you know what the Rivian run rate is? They produced 56 cars in 5 weeks. How do you call that mass production? They need to get the kinks figured out on how to mass produce a vehicle before they start promising vehicles they can’t deliver.

That’s a great timeline and everything, but they still aren’t mass producing their first product yet. Focus…
