I am so skeptical... why on earth would the parasite class (bezos and friends) want to empower people?
Honestly so they can deliver amazon packages.
Because thats where the money is to be made. Telsa also did the same thing until they became big enough to begin enshitification.
i dont think he has anything to do with the company, he just funded them hoping for a return. the broker people are, the more they need a cheap car with cheap operating costs. thats the gamble i suspect.
Yes, because the wealthiest people in the world concern themselves with a potential return equivalent of your pocket change.
The investment, the game, is having a say and a new dollhouse to play with. Because the ghouls are bored.
To the bigger focus of the post, not paying above $18k for the stripped down tin can. Many differences, but Mexico's go kart is targeting about $8k. Slate can do much better.
Mexico's "go kart" has a top speed of 31 mph and a range "up to" 62 miles ... at 31 mph. It's an electric UTV with a nicer passenger compartment.
They're not really comparable.
Haha you're coming dangerously close to admitting that capitalism works
do you think the heaviest investor has some saying in the business decisions?
who am i to argue with a certified expert?
apparently both: my father and a machine.
PR project? Thinks it will be limited to a small subset of the population? I really don't know tbh
PR? As if they gave a shit
