Tesla electric vehicle rival files bankruptcy, begins liquidation
MSN ^ | 02/11/2024 | Daniel Kline

There's a reason very few new automakers have been launched over the past 40 or so years. Building and selling cars takes a tremendous amount of infrastructure.

When you add in having to create not just a new design, but a new method of powering your car, you see why big auto has generally been a closed club. Tesla (TSLA) , of course, has crashed that party, becoming the first startup electric vehicle manufacturer to operate at scale.

You can credit that to the genius and drive of Elon Musk. It may have been lost in his recent conversion to a conspiracy-theory-embracing, far-right internet troll willing to say anything so people pay attention to him, but Musk has been the leading entrepreneur of his time.

Ah… so objective. Can we get this kind of energy from the press about anyone on the left?

You have to download the app to find out what company is going bust. Just a paean to Musk.

EVs are coal plants and satanic nuclear power plants.

For those who don’t feel like 3 clicks and scrolling to find out what the hell this article is about, it’s Arrival. Which never did, apparently.

3 paragraph sentences, and no mention of the “rival”. Who writes this crap?

Wow, it took four paragraphs of bashing Tesla, Elon Musk and ‘far right’ before ever getting around to the lede of the story - the company is Arrival, a small enterprise based in the UK. I’ve never heard of them, and they never even built one car. Why is this so newsworthy?

Looks like somebody has an agenda.

There were about 2000 car companies at the turn of the 20th Century, how many are there now?

And to think they could have named the company Enron...
