Even losing 70%, filling that in 2022 would be at the top end of my guess at their yearly number. 30% of the 70k preorders, 21k. That's being generous.
My guess is they lose 60% and project a saturated production through 2023. Counting current orders and projected new orders. With the...
So that's the wrong question. The answer is because they had legal documents written up (potentially signed) that they didn't want to change and were just going to proceed with.
This question dates back to May, why did he get a guide when you didn't.
I'm similar to these folks. Where I go is about 2 hours away from the closest "large" city (40k population). A flat in the forest would not be fun without a spare. Back in the 90's our Taurus got a flat the day before we were supposed to go home and it took an additional day to get a replacement.
What is your exterior color?
I've seen it with forest green and compass yellow. Both look great together. Others have seen it with Launch Green and were sold.
Because that's not what the blog that she wrote said.
And my lack of credibility on her part was due to the timing of her blog post and filing of the lawsuit. Screamed of defamation.
I'm just sick of THESE inaccurate statements. 15/16 months =/= 3 years.
Nobody had any idea on a price range until the online configuration page was launched. Nov 2020.
I currently just avoid taking my truck anywhere I would have to squeeze into a spot. Really limits things. So this will be nice, and hopefully the R1T has a better turning radius than the Ram :D
So the problem is they have nothing to subscribe for now.
That means that the expected 10-15k revenue for the R1T/S is gone.
Maybe they thought the RAN would be further along. Maybe they didn't foresee the govt intervention in the charging space which devalues the RAN prospect.
They could...
Making a statement that a price they came up with in mid2020 would need to be increased to be profitable is something captain obvious would say.
For all you know, all she said in a meeting was that we needed to increase the vehicle price to make a profit.
Her coworker may have taken that and...
I think it would be neat to uphold the original price for the 2018 LE holders. As a recognition for being there from the beginning and wanting to be part of the first few vehicles produced.
As an engineer, I can tell that the email was basically formed by engineers and the PR department just...
She was marketing, and was fired(position eliminated) not quit.
COO retired, a planned retirement in the works for months before it occurred. (COO was not even listed as a position in the S-1)
The latest was anothe C level transitiong out and being replaced.
Most people are incompetent.
Aside from that fact, what did WE know and what promises? In relation to my statement, the only information we have is all preorders (50k) completed by end of 2023. Max production rate for the factory achieved by end of 2023. And I believe all LE delivered in...
it is as simple as this:
they had a target $$ in mind for 2022. They made their adjustments to ramp up production, and missed their targeted ramp up. They then ran the projected production schedule based on the new ramp up and fell short. Thus they adjust the price to meet the $$ point...
