  • r/Truckers - What's the best way to go about learning how to drive? I have an opportunity to partially own a similar Freightliner-Cascadia-based-Super-C-RV. Would I be able to learn on my own? My state doesn't require a CDL, since this isn't considered a commercial vehicle.

DM has stated that they "anticipate" starting production in July. But I believe July will come and go and no production will happen. Why? Simple. Lack of headcount. Mullen reports that they have somewhere around 200 total employees on their payroll. Even DM alluded to this number in his recent "interview" with Cal from the Financial Journey. And there was no mention if that number would go up. If you look at any car manufacturer today, they employ thousands of workers just at their manufacturing plants. For perspective, lets look at three startups. Rivian has 14,000+ employees worldwide with around 7,000+ factory workers at their Norman IL plant. After recent lay offs, Lucid now employs around 6,000 people worldwide and around 1,000 at their Arizona manufacturing facility. And even Fisker who will have Magna Steyr in Austria manufacture their vehicles (at least initially) employs around 900 people worldwide, but 0 factory workers since it has no manufacturing plant. And I am not even going to mention Tesla.

Which brings us back to Mullen and their 200 employees. Based on Rivian and Lucid's (after layoffs) factory worker to total workforce ratios, Mullen would have anywhere between 32 and 100 factory workers. What kind of car production can at the most 100 workers perform. And is 200 total employees enough to support a fully blown car manufacturing operation. We are not talking about one of those Italian luxury car makers who custom make 1 car a week. Maybe the 100 workers will be re-working imported vehicles: perhaps some rebadging or do some minor assembly of pre-fabricated vehicle sections. Maybe Mullen went the Fisker asset-light route and contracted their manufacturing to a 3rd party. If none these two scenarios is the case, then I don't what kind of production DM and Mullen are talking about. If they haven't announce a partnership with a Chinese vehicle supplier or a partnership with car manufacturer by now, it's fair to assume that DM was talking about in house production.

I can only speculate, but I think that DM's idea of starting production in July is that they have managed to install some equipment and they are going to fire it off. They are going to push a few buttons here and there, toggle on some switches, walk around in hard hats and marvel at the newly installed equipment, run some tests, and then declare the factory operable even if not a single vehicle will roll off its assembly line for at least a couple of years or if ever. For that you do not need 100's or 1,000's of workers.

Turning the lights on in a factory is the easy part, producing an actual car will be the hard part. It will be time consuming and very, very, very costly. We are talking about billions of dollars. That is why I believe no vans or commercial vehicles will be rolling off the production line in July or August or 2023 or 2024 or even in 2025.
