“There are a lot more people out here living in abject poverty than what people like to think or admit to. You voted for this—and now we’re paying the price.”
Employees learned of the cuts on Monday in a video message from Michael Adams, CEO of BlueOval SK.
Adams announced the transition would mean “the end of all BlueOval SK positions in Kentucky.”
You have this all mixed up. New features are always expensive. So new feautes always start at the top end and work their way down. Then as you get the design nailed down, the supply chain flowing, and economies of scale working the price comes down. Manufacturers don’t get to say “I want it cheap” and poof it’s cheap.
Sure but you can’t follow someone else’s strategy when you’re not them and the market has changed.
Look at Slate as a possible alternative. Instead of blindly following teslas strategy starting withbhigh end vehicles and working your way down, they did their own market research. They identified an unserved market segment and designed a compelling product to serve it. We’ll see in a couple years whether it pans out for them
Or look at the plethora of Chinese manufacturers. They’re competing on both price and features. They went all in and went from starting later than legacy us manufacturers should have and quickly zoomed ahead.
Are you even considering what I’m writing? There’s no magical poof and it’s cheap button.
China and BYD is entirely different because of strong government pushing for many reasons and BYD originated as a battery company.
You’re still as mixed up as ever and you refuse any education so I’m gonna leave this conversation.
