Who Will Buy CJDR?

It would be impossible to launch a new car brand/make and show profit per unit immediately.

You have to pay for the factory, the land it's on, all the people you hired.

Those Capex costs get amortized across production, which is why clickbait headlines say nonsense like "Rivian loses 30k on every truck it sells"

You don't stay in business losing money.

But you do have to pay back the start up costs.

I don't believe Rivian has ever generated positive EBITDA.

So even without the depreciation and amortization on CapEx, they still aren't profitable.

Thank you for your post. I like learning things and went down a fun rabbit hole looking up the abbreviations. I took freshman accounting and business courses in college and walked away with a deep respect for the field. Far too complicated for me.

Mahindra?

Jeep and Ram will survive whatever happens. The brands still have a ton of value. I wish that a reputable manufacturer would buy Jeep and Ram.

I hope GM buys Jeep and dribbles the LT formally LS platform into the JL/JT

I’d rather see a good diesel in their 3.0L and 10 speed put in.
