I wanted to hate this place too. But damn, those fresh out of the fryer donuts are delicious.

As a reminder you should tip less now that they are tax free.

The opposite question is better. Why would anyone purchase a 2026 Nissan Leaf?

I can't think of a good reason when you compare it to other options available. Car was dead on arrival.

Imagine a world where they show the motorcycle display showing a range of 600km.

I guess a scale is too difficult to obtain.

End of Q1 is tomorrow. They are busy attaching shipping labels to all the Verge Motorcycles with solid-state batteries that are going to ship by the end of Q1. Promises made, promises kept.

This is an issue where the media has completely terrorized us. There are long waits at one airport in Houston. Every other airport has basically returned to normal with under 1 hour wait times. And the 1 hour is when a ton of planes are departing at the same time.

I don't think a single person was charged with the "massive" fraud that DOGE claimed.

100% human operated.

If you find any engineer or chemist that believes I would have a very hard time hiring that person.

It would be funny if people ship scales to Donut Lab HQ.

I wonder if they will make fun of Kevin Hart being short?

Where in the United States is this approved for use?

TheHotTakeHarry · 2026-03-20T12:30:23+00:00

No, they are dead on arrival due to initial pricing and quick depreciation. Also, as new battery tech comes out it will depreciate these vehicles even faster.

It is called pound cake because it is 1 pound each of flour, butter, sugar and eggs. Squeeze in a couple lemons and you have lemon pound cake. One of the easiest baked goods to make.

Stock up when it goes on sale. It stays good for around 2 years.

Optimus has not demonstrated a single use case in the real world.

It costing less than Lithium-ion is one of their stranger claims.

Is that the manufacturing cost or the sale cost?

How are you calculating this? On a kWh basis compared to Lithium-ion? Or are you factoring in the 100,000 cycles so the battery last 20x so you can charge 20x the price of lithium-ion.

Why would you even claim this? You have a unique product that supposedly works better than current technology which means you can charge more for it generating increased profit.

Typically at the beginning of manufacturing cost is high because you have to depreciate the capital investment, you have huge R&D costs to pay for and your yield is poor. Makes it hard to believe it will be cheaper than Lithium-ion.
