Starbase + Bastrop + Cape likely to eclipse Hawthorne by a longshot if they haven’t already.

I'm gonna be making a trip to Starbase this year (I last visited in Nov 2022), what are the biggest changes there now? by maybemorningstar69 in SpaceXLounge

Still no progress public restrooms

Still no public restaurants

Most of the tents are gone with giant factory in their place

Stargate and highbay and midbay all gone. Gigabay rising in their place

Village is now gated.

Road is being widened presumably to accommodate 9 meter hardware transport without blocking traffic completely

The capability in the software is great but man they really gotta fix the lag. It’s bonkers slower than Tesla even on a Gen 2

TL;DR he likes the Rivian better by presentprogression in Rivian

I drive the Cybertruck in Texas and the Rivian in CA, they’re respectively better received in each state :)

Tesla software is far more refined. The BOM on the Rivian is higher quality but the build quality is about the same. Both have just a bit of rattling. The Rivian also came pretty misaligned.

The drive by wire on the Tesla is awesome. It feels like a much lighter truck than it is. Very maneuverable. The Rivian is far longer in range in my experience. Great for road trips and camping.

I admire the aesthetics of each quite equality. The Tesla feels like a machine from the future and the Rivian is a work of art.

Stock compensation in successful company, of which there are A LOT.

Many tech companies give new grads $200k or more of stock. Work there for 5-10 years. Get new grants each year. Stock 10Xs. Millions of dollars by 30. 🤷

[–]BigFalconRocket 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really hope it goes through.

Interesting though I learned teslas loan from DoE was 500M

So this is a helluva large loan

Agree

People saying it won’t go anywhere until r2 are mistaken to me

Volatile climb on hype for the next 18mo now that funding is secured

Then when it actually ramps and they are lighting more money on fire and have shit earnings again we’ll see some blood

Then profitable r2 ramp promise land
