We’re all FBI agents on this blessed day.
SCP-3008 The Perfectly Normal IKEA, and SCP-3333 about a spacial anomaly on a fire tower are my 2 favorites, but I haven’t delved all that deeply either.
It was teased and unnamed in 2016c but we didn’t see the concept truck until November 2019.
The steering system and power delivery is interesting but not not enough to overcome the dangerously sharp, blind spot riddled, and impractical body design.
The couldn’t even be bothered to put a digital rear view mirror in the place other companies and third parties have been doing it for a decade.
Rivian was also first to market and showed their concept a year and a half before the cyber truck reveal (where the first showed it and smashed its windows).
Rivian had shown off their EV truck a year and a half before Tesla announced the Cyber Truck. And it’s a much more useful vehicle.
I believe the Ford Lightning EV might have been in the works already too, but not sure if it was announced yet.
Rivian also started delivering its truck in 2021 after showing the concept in may 2018.
No other wipers are this long and stupid though…
I don’t think that includes things like the Amazon delivery vans that Rivian produces. Since they aren’t really sold in the same way.
I think that has been a big part of their revenue/investment so far.
From mid 2023:
On Tuesday evening, the company issued its second-quarter earnings report, which showed that gross loss per unit delivered between April 1 and June 30 came out to $32,595. That’s an improvement over the first quarter’s loss of $67,329 per delivered vehicle, and a huge gain over the same period a year ago, where per-unit losses were as high as $157,600.
Competitors in the EV space have been slashing prices this summer in an ongoing price war, but Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said on the company’s earnings call Tuesday that Rivian wouldn’t be following suit, citing “continued strong demand.”
In fact, Rivian has increased its total production guidance for 2023 to 52,000 vehicles from 50,000.3 Last month, Rivian shares surged after beating out analyst expectations for second-quarter delivery numbers. In April, CFO Claire McDonough said the company would turn a profit in the final quarter of 2024.
For comparison, gross profit per delivered unit for the second quarter of 2023 sits at around $9,700 for Tesla Inc. (TSLA), a more mature EV company.5 For fellow EV up-and-comer Lucid Group Inc. (LCID), gross losses per unit came out to nearly $138,900 over the same period.

They do they both for cost and for weight savings to try and hit CAFE standard while only selling oversized CUVs.
Make small cars.
We want them, they’re fun and better for everyone.
Yeah I think it would be more accurate to say they were abusing alcohol.
It could easily lead to alcoholism, which usually includes building up a tolerance such that your body doesn’t cause you to puke as often.
Yeah they don’t need drug dogs in airports. If they don’t like the look of you they can just search your bags without the made up cause of a drug dog “trigger”.
Logan (Boston) too. I watched an abandoned shopping bag get sniffed down before they took it away.
It’s amazing the difference between how bomb dogs move and sniff compared to drug dogs (which are 99% bullshit being triggered by handlers I suspect).
This was my feeling after seeing it too. Architects also love to see models and more tangible things, even printouts in my experience.
Offering a fully rendered environment sounds amazing but someone would have to do a lot lore work at the office before presenting it to the client because it would look less complete than simple foam models can.
It may be useful for investor presentations for really large projects (Saudis or UAE style projects), but again, those are pretty narrow audiences and so expensive that bespoke displays could be viable.
They’ll make it illegal to charge your own battery. And enshitification will guarantee perpetually rising prices, lower and lower range batteries, or some combination of the 2.
Apple has a long history of insanely expensive ( but quite high quality) displays.
There are photographers and design professionals out there, but it’s pretty niche market. That’s what the Vision Pro seems to be aimed at. But it’s not very good for mouse based design, and harder to trust in the usual proofing/editing environment. Plus wearing it for an 8-10 hour shift is never going to happen.
I always saw this as what fish think of humans swimming. Since most of us can’t hold our breath too long, and also much of the ocean is too damn cold to stay in for long (for now anyways, RIP coral reefs).
That’s not water
We are lucky that a level head contracted the FBI and they actually did something about it.
Now can we please start melting down these guns?
Aren’t ribs a good thing sometimes?
Fricken, better.
