If it is indeed true, it's worth seriously analyzing why they didn't feel they could make a business case for a low-priced EV. In the US, Tesla was probably best positioned to make this work considering their margins and scale. It

I usually visit when I'm at an airport, so like twice a year. Every time I go, the experience gets worse. Last month I realized I paid like 12 dollars for two flat whites with a really painful to opt out tip system. On top of that I re

Replacement timelines for cars are way longer, around 7-10 years, and way more money. I don't think this is comparable

R2 and R3 have very good design and priced well but 2026 is a bit too far away. By that time, Tesla would've improved their design and margin even more, not to mention traditional OEMs catching up, because that EV price segment is wher

Are there enough qualified people available to hire in the US for this? Unemployment rate for electrical engineers is very low. Chip making is a highly specialized field where you need access to global talent. US work visa/immigration

So what's stopping Chinese EV manufacturers from selling in the US? Are the safety regulations so much different from China?

They're betting on solid state batteries for their EVs and offer hybrids until they are able to start making them. Not sure how the solid state bet is going to play out but so far their hybrid strategy is working quite well. Their hybr

No. It was changed for FY 2020. Before that you had to pay in full beforehand with a complete petition and get refunded if you don't get selected. It was quite effective at weeding out non-serious job offers. https://www.fed

No. You previously had to fill the entire H1B petition and pay full fees (including lawyer fees to prepare the petition) just to enter the H1B lottery. Your fees get refunded if you do not get selected in the lottery. You're still out

I think they were Michelin all seasons. Specifically to Teslas they also have a ton of camber on their Model X for handling and that makes the problem worse. Things might have improved now because tire manufacturers now have dedicated EV ti
