It’s too logical a plan it seems for FOMOCO. It’s a real shame if you ask me. I’m kind of hoping that they have something up their sleeves and some of what’s been suggested in regards to this topic actually comes to fruition.
I believe Ford is gonna steal a lot of model 3/Y buyers away with CE1, and this might be a bold prediction, but I could actually see a future where long term, Rivian is a more established and enduring EV car maker than Tesla. They're progressing in a similar fashion to what Tesla was, starting out with more premium vehicles, gradually breaking into the mainstream affordable market, becoming profitable, etc. But they also have a much better design language, compete more heavily in segments that matter, don't seem to be that decisive, and have tons of funding from Amazon and VW.
I believe of all the EV players, Rivian has the best chance at long term success. It's looking not too bad for them even if their sales figures are down this year.
Tariffs would be a good thing IF global leaders were reasonable and intelligent people. If leaders across the board were like "Yeah, this isn't sustainable, and we see now our tariffs on American goods aren't necessarily fair. So we'll work with the states so each side reduces tariffs on the others goods by a proportional amount". It seems like some leaders are sensible, and doing that, and I'm all for it.
But humans are nothing if not stubborn, and nations like China hitting us with 34% tariffs, doubling down on the bullshit, has destroyed our economy, at least short term. I pray to all the Gods old and new that Trump and China will find a way to negotiate these tariffs down massively. This isn't sustainable long term.
I'm in this NVIDIA company for like $115 a share, thought it was a good buy because it was in the $140-150 range not long ago, and I've been getting slammed pretty hard. Hopefully stocks like that make a full recovery before the end of the year.
Seems pretty no brainer to me to take the raptor body, slam it on the ground, make it awd and offer the R engine if they really want to get back into the street truck market. But like you said, this looks a lot like an appearance package.
Hello all. We are in the market for a new 5th wheel camper and truck for a family of 5. I am looking at a few that are 42-43’ and around 12-14k lb. I do not want a DRW truck as when not pulling a camper I will still be driving it daily. I originally wanted the 7.3 but I keep having people tell me if I’m pulling something that big, I should get the 6.7. I don’t know much about weight laws when pulling but I’m trying to make whatever setup I get legal. I know that payloads and GCWR can vary depending on trim levels so I’m trying to find a SRW with the most payload to help with that.
I’m looking for options or opinions for which truck to go with.
The Tremors look nice, but it also looks like with that trim the payloads are lower?
7.3 or 6.7?
Will I still be under the weight of CDL requirements?
