The fact that you bought your own for $2500 means their business model is a failure.

If you spent $2500 on Bird subscriptions and rides then that means that the business model is successful at least in your case.

Your comments directly prove the previous poster's thesis.

EDIT:

And yes, Bird has realized the failure in their previous business model of renting scooters, and will be SELLING scooters directly (which in my opinion is a much better business model)

Alas, "Delivering in US and Europe summer 2019" means that they have lost out on $2500 worth of business from goobynight (and from the market segment represented by goobynight).
