From my POV, if a business owner buys a piece of equipment that can entirely reasonably be expected to last 20 years, the timeline for ROI is on the order of 20 years. Maybe 10, maybe 15.
But I'm not insisting that this a hard and fast rule; rather, I'm suggesting that "a 5 year ROI" is also not a hard and fast rule.
- fragmede 2y agoIs there anything resembling a guarantee Rivan will be around in twenty years? Not just a "yeah probably", but something solid that would make you feel good about placing a $100k+ bet on them being around?
- vel0city 2y agoIs there anything resembling a guarantee Ford will be around in 20 years? What about Nissan? Stellantis?
- swores 2y agoThat's completely missing the point they're making, they weren't calling out Rivian as different to competitors it was just an example brand for the discussion of what timeline is reasonable to plan over.
