  5. Rich Rebuilds: How Tesla is failing its most loyal customers

  7. CNBC: Bill Ford is doubling down on Ford shares, and quietly amassing more control

    A quick googling will show several places reporting on the numbers. I split them out because it is easy or at least easier to pursue volume and sales crowns if you are willing to sell to fleets at low margin. GM did this for years selling Malibus and Cruz to rental fleets.
  8. CNBC: Bill Ford is doubling down on Ford shares, and quietly amassing more control

  11. Other EVs in 2023

    The fully loaded launch edition triple motor Hummer EV with 37" all terrain tires gets a more Prius like ~54 MPGe. Mid 2022 Mitsubishi will launch the tweener compact-midsize CUV barely 3rd row Outlander PHEV. Should have ~46 EPA all electric miles range (20 kWh pack) and ~325 combined...

  15. 2022 F150 Lightning battery capacities revealed: 98 kWh / 131 kWh

    Hummer EV was never going to be EPA tested. It doesn't have to because of weight class. The fully loaded triple motor Hummer with 37" all terrain tires gets 329. The base 200 kWh with 35" tires and less equipment will almost certainly do 350 miles in an EPA test. The base Silverado EV with...

  17. Rivian R1T is Motortrend Truck of the Year!

    In 1958 the Ford Thunderbird won MT COTY. The Corvair was a deserving winner in 1960. Done in by the propaganda of Ralph Nader. The driving dynamics of a rear engined car are different than a front engined car. Not inherently dangerous.
  18. Official Announcement of Georgia Plant Expected Tomorrow [Atlanta Journal-Constitution]

    They put a $5-$18 bottle of fuel injection cleaner in your fuel tank and charged you $350? Because I highly doubt they removed the fuel injectors and throttle body and cleaned them by hand on an ~8 year old Infiniti. Even if they did that should not cost more than $150. If you were keeping...
  19. 2021 Q3 Rivian Shareholder Letter – December 16, 2021. 71K Preorders Received

    RJ has 9.5% of the voting power. Much the same way the Ford family controls Ford. With different class of shares. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/rivian-ipo-founder-rj-scaringe-billionaire-amazon-big-winner-2021-11 I am sure RJ is highly incentivized with stock options.
