HN is where nerds come to complain with other nerds

No I said “ Even if the truck has been a flop I doubt their whole battery program has been “

The replier then went off on one about the truck actually being a flop. I already conceded it had been. The main point was that their battery program probably hasn’t been a flop

Electrek’s ‘reporting’ has proven so one-sided that I take all their stories with a bucket of salt. Even if the truck has been a flop I doubt their whole battery program has been. Perhaps they’re rejigging suppliers and pausing whilst they get ready to ramp up cyber cab production lines

Oh they'll be thinking way beyond his reign!

I'm not entirely sure it will ever see the light of day tbh

The amount of money sloshing around in these acquisitions makes you wonder what they're really for

The 2nd and 3rd order effects of any wars e.g with Afghanistan might be causing some late nights in Langley

I suggest you read the article it talks about the viability of that very point

But you’re forgetting the Jonny Ive hardware device that totally isn’t like that laughable pin badge thing from Humane

Yeah but it's missing the credentials

Hey this report was done by McKinsey and they hire from Harvard and Stanford, and hear how well they speak and look how soft their hair is, the report must be good!

As someone who did an MBA and was groomed to be a Consultant and then repented (now a software engineer) you have to understand that the customer of a consultancy project is an exec.

1. The exec has been charged with exploring a new product space, a potential M&A deal, more vertical integration etc etc

2. The exec needs a gauge on the "size of the prize", is this thing worth doing? roughly how will it be done? how long etc.

3. The exec probably already has a rough idea or gut feeling about one such option

4. The consultants produce something that usually supports the gut feeling, other times it will suggest alternatives and provide some facts and figures to support
