I wonder that about entire cities. How do so many people afford to live in all those expensive NYC apartments. Where/what are all these high paying jobs everyone seems to have?

All evs will fail and pleased for that

I feel ya. I do like EV’s myself.

>If you specify that it should

Who is the "you" in that sentence? Everybody is hyperventilating about AI...just like they did about every technological leap forward. Yes, it'll destroy some jobs but it'll create way more jobs.

If not Ford I hope there’s plenty more. I just hate Tesla as a company

You are absolutely, factually correct except you forgot that TESLA BAD.

That's not actually the problem. The problem is that their manufacturing techniques are out dated and bureaucratic and their costs are too high.

Fair enough, edited my original statement accordingly.

Understandable. I just feel the more competition in the EV space the better.

They only have a couple floors of the downtown building, but yeah it's excessive.

Internships are far less common for non-programmers. Tech companies still need staff in every business area.

Who is the userbase in Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, Whatsapp?

Social media needs to be banned. Pandora’s box was open and it’s made society worse.

That's true. They will undoubtedly raise the price considerably to start with and not even offer the cheapest version. They can do that because the demand is high and they will be supply constrained at first and can make more profit off the higher end versions. Prices could be in the 80k-90k range and I would not be at all surprised to see them reach 30-40% margins once they hit volume production.

Social media lol yous are still doing that?

I don’t care if they fail personally. Ford is an awful company.

The irony is not losr on me that this is the company that wants to regulatory capture the emergent AI market. Yeah, no, if anything, open AI should be forced to make their shit open source so that weaknesses like this can be automatically patched.

Sure it did. At $100 a pop when it was a $40k truck and the only EV option. Call me when they sell one.

The cyber truck does have 1.5 million pre-orders. The demand is there. It depends mostly on how many they can produce next year.

lol your first article literally has this secondary headline

> Ford and GM warned dealers to stop marking up new car prices with 'consequences' should they fail to cooperate. But in 2023, markups are still there!

Markups are still there. They may be threatening and warning but it hasn’t made a difference. I literally just got done purchasing an EV. A major reason I didn’t end up with a Bolt is because of the markups.

No but I’m saying in this example it doesn’t really matter because it doesn’t need to be precise

It's up for discussion precisely because American companies are lobbying Congress to take out a major competitor of theirs lol:

Facebook hasn't been doing too well with their Metaverse gamble, and their core social media advertising revenue is being threatened by TikTok, so...

Lol when America can't compete we just bully and sanction in the name of "national security". We literally did this to Toshiba to fuck over Japan's semi-conductor business in the 80s and they are an ally for god's sake: https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/how-us-prevented-japan-s-toshiba-from-becoming-no-1-chipmaker-62393

So yeah, "National Security" and "Please think of the children!!!!" are the two trump cards always played by our politicians to win over their ignorant voters. In this case both applies so it's a double whammy to win political points.

>companies like meta are lobbying HARD for a tiktok ban

Yep: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/facebook-tiktok-targeted-victory/

lol this is the same sad ass bullshit they pulled in the 90’s whining about how Toyota and Honda were kicking their ass
