Reddit certainly did have it's moments, didn't it?

People look to find vulnerabilities in systems for fun, it's not necessarily because of capitalism.

Yes, they're just taking a half a million dollar loss on every vehicle they sell.

I was initially getting them confused with Edison, who actually have a viable product.

it is estimated that each truck costs Nikola over $1 million to manufacture, while the revenue stands at $380,000. This is not a sustainable business model for obvious reasons.

Fucking hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are a scam. They're expensive to build, expensive to run, explode if the tank is punctured, and refuelling them is a massively complex endeavor, if you can even find a station.

There is no application for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that either a hybrid running on biofuel or an EV can't do better and cheaper.

I suspect that's the answer. You look at the comments on here on something that is an obvious joke, like the one on linked in lunatics about someone changing their occupation to "inmate at prison".

There were some utterly unhinged comments from people not realising the person was making a joke at their own expense.

Youtube's algorithm is very good at showing you videos similar to what you've watched previously. If you watch dross, you'll get more dross.

There's something oddly heart warming about seeing massive companies produce utter flops and lose millions.

We don't want your dross.

I wonder what the success rate is for jumpers? I'd assume they're better off jumping into the ditch than taking the blast.

Couldn't you designate one person in the squad as the shotgun guy?

That must have been infuriating for the Japanese.

Aftermarket navigation accessories are incredibly common on motorbikes, the most common ones are phone mounts, or a Garmin unit.

So, there is clearly a need for this.

It would depend hugely on the bus, and the environment it's working in, but $1 per mile sounds low, unless that doesn't count labour.

Buses are actually quite expensive to operate, it's cost effective because that cost is split between so many passengers.

 

Took him long enough.
