Jonny 290 posted:god imagine how much money they could have made with absolutely no NTSB intrusion or regulatory bullshit or megafactories if they would have just taken the roadster idea and extended it. sell rich dudes an EV drivetrain for $50,000 for their brand new S class, take the engine+trans as part of the deal, sell 0 mile ICE drivetrains for another $10k pure profit, no crash tests, no body work, no assembly lines, huge cachet and demand that they could puppet around as much as they wanted. basically as Alpina is to BMW but with electric drivetrains people can’t see your logo on the drivetrains lol

you could maybe maybe make a case for undercutting lyft and Uber when your fleet is brand new and you’re not eating a ton of service costs and maybe force them out of the market before cars running “18 hours/day” need serious mechanical work done and maybe the support team you need when all those robotaxis are actual company assets and you need to dispatch a puke scrubber or tow truck or lidar defroster are cheaper than app drivers, but you’re also one “ROBOT TAXI SLAUGHTERS ENTIRE GIRL SCOUT TROOP” incident away from folding

HSR in the US has three major problems when compared to rail in other countries: 1. civil engineering projects cost about double what they do for countries with similar GNI. people debate the factors behind it but it's a fact of life 2. the federal system of government in the us swings very far in states' favor vs federal agencies. projects involving multiple states lose efficiency by either requiring acts of congress (slow and messily requiring the appeasement of reps/senators with zero stake in the project) or multi-state transportation agencies (rife with costly graft and corruption) 3. especially compared to china, property owner rights are insanely strong in the US. a couple noncooperative land owners can mire construction projects for years, even if eminent domain is invoked e: nobody except a few construction companies and train manufacturers (mostly foreign) stand to make short term profits (the only kind people can about) from hsr. meanwhile, domestic auto and air companies have a ton to lose, so there's no political pressure to actually enact the projects theflyingexecutive fucked around with this message at 10:59 on Dec 12, 2021 |
