I bet if you formed an electric car company made only of people who previously worked for Tesla then quit in disgust, you could make a really good electric car company

Actually you could possibly staff somewhere between two and five electric car companies this way

@mcc IIRC that's Canoo

@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@pleaseclap Huh. Do they employ software/firmware engineers, and are they hiring

pleaseclap,
@pleaseclap@urbanists.social avatar

@mcc Browsed their career section and it looks like yes to both: you could have your pick

https://www.canoo.com/

This would be a really interesting time to join the company. They're so close to finally delivering vehicles and unlocking revenue and if they don't do it this year they'll run out of money

@pleaseclap Interesting

@mcc

Tech bros, thinking they could hurt the economy to help Trump, by firing 10 and twenty percent if random employees, AT GREAT COST, have let go thousands of people who should be bringing down the moronic tech bros with new companies and products,

From your mouth to the ears of every clever innovator fired.

@mcc and since non-compete clauses are no longer legal, now's the time!

@mcc If I had the money to bankroll it, I'd totally start a company for human-sized electric transportation. No behemoth tanks.

Honda had a good thing with the "e", IMHO, I'd to something like that plus a pickup version.

If you had the money to bankroll it, the first step would be to change the Federal regulations that strongly discourage smaller vehicles and EVs.

@kboyd It appears there are some Chinese manufacturers on the ball with that product category. I wonder if those cars will be allowed to be sold in America.

@mcc Vietnam, too, with VinFast.

@HereToChewGum Thanks, this is of interest to me— there's a lot of videos here, is there anything specific you'd recommend I look at if I'm curious what's coming up in terms of lower-cost / lower-weight vehicles?

@kboyd My dream vehicle is a Fiat 500e. @mcc

@mcc may also require those fired for arbitrary/self-defeating reasons

Pepperbike,

@mcc if they quit in disgust it would also say something very good about their character and ethical standing in the world.

abstractience,

@mcc well yeah, they’d all have to have been good enough to get hired at Tesla.

SnepperStepper,
@SnepperStepper@mastodon.social avatar

@mcc yeah definitely gonna hire the people attached to the exploding incel cars, best investment since buying twitter
