Amazon was loosing money for years. Means nothing anymore.No, do some DD on TSLA, everything they do loses money. Musk is nothing more than a good car salesman. Look up how many model 3’s they promised to make and how many are delivered for example. Every single car they build is built at a loss. They are going to have to do another offering in order to raise cash, otherwise this musical chair of debt game they are playing will come crashing down.
Problem is, Amazon is about gobbling up market share, problem Tesla faces is other manufacturers are gobbling up thier market share, and making money doing it.Amazon was loosing money for years. Means nothing anymore.
A disiel or LNG can do two runs a day, getting fueled in between. The electric truck can do one run, because it has to sit half the day recharging.
I'm not seeing how needing twice as many trucks is a cost saving measure.
AI excels in controled conditions. If anything is more evident, look at Orion. When you insert human behavior and illogical thinking, computers can’t compensate.Friday nite , with a 53' trailer on me , stop at sign , look LrL , proceeded with caution , a Boston bike currier cuts through a parking lot out of no where and cuts me off ,, I stopped rig within a foot or two of him !!
Let's see a tesla rig compensate this quickly !!
A big part of Tesla's sales pitch for these is "platooning", linking two trucks electronically, presumably with only one driver. Could be a big job eliminator depending on future regulations.When they program these rigs to expect the unexpected and to react properly with no death or destruction , I'd be out of a job
Amazon has been profitable 10 straight quarters.Amazon was loosing money for years. Means nothing anymore.
....because of their cloud computing sector.Amazon has been profitable 10 straight quarters.
Amazon had 2.37 Billion in net profit for 2016 on 136 Billion in sales/revenue .
UPS had 3.3 Billion in net profit in 2016 on 61 Billion in revenue.
Time for people to stop saying Amazon does not turn a profit.
We FINALLY got rid of the last of our manual, non power steering PC's last year!Nothing but some ones big pipedream. Even if this tech is proven safe in 20 years of testing UPS will drag its feet buying into it. They are always the last to implement new technology. UPS is still running trucks with no power steering for christs sakes.
