Rivian CEO Says China's 'Cars Are Actually Better:' TDS
Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said everyone’s fixation on the cost of China’s EVs is wrong because it’s “that the technology is much better” and “if I were an existing manufacturer, I’d get less hung up on the cost and more focused on ‘the cars are actually better.'”
Well yes, they’re subsidized by a country that has focused on increasing the quality and speed of manufacturing for like 3 generations. The US stagnated on that front. You cannot compete with a subsidized oligopoly composed of more skillful people.
Just to be clear, the US heavily subsidizes the auto industry as well, it’s just that because we’ve bailed them out so many times the auto industry hasn’t cared to innovate in decades.
Uh huh. So China's subsidies make them competitive and America's makes them lazy, I wonder if maybe there might be another problem in this equation.
I saw this guy talking to his assistant at a shitty hotel/resort and he treated her like a normal human. It was oddly comforting that CEO's could do that.
Damn sounds like it's time to trade up to a rivian
Founding CEOs and those working for small companies usually are at least not-far-removed from the life experiences of their employees. In many cases they draw a relatively low salary and have a meager lifestyle compared to their most skilled employees. The pop culture tropes of the callous fatcat, ruthless machiavel, nepotistic bungler, etc are informed mostly by career CEOs hired by much larger corporations.
