@tb_travis@dkhos Why have mentions of the Delta partnership all but disappeared? Even when JoeBen is given ample opportunity during interviews to namedrop Delta, he has chosen not to. Recent earnings calls have also almost exclusively eliminated Delta from the discussion.
@nikitabier@BillyM2k It's data noise to geek on. However, it's not an actionable data point. IMO, pass and move on to actionable informational aspects.
@tamsa00700 I support Joby's mission; however, I continue to not understand how large-part carbon fiber construction can scale dramatically from handfuls to hundreds+ per year. The process is requires intensive labor & time to construct and QA. I welcome thoughts.
@blueskiesup@America250@jobyaviation Lakeland FL. Home of Suntrax, the 2nd largest airshow in the US (Sun 'n Fun), equidistant to TPA and ORL (but major pains for Central FL residents & vacationers to reach), and FDOT supports the AAM mission.
@TheEVTOLFan@GovRonDeSantis@MyFDOT If you spot a bird getting deployed to Suntrax (seems like a safe bet as the first FL test location), give me a shout and I'll try to get some shots.
Several states already have ,or are currently producing, business plans for eventual AAM. These are in addition to the national AAM strategy framework: CA, TX, MI, FL, NC, NY, GA, OH. All are good reads. $JOBY
@JoTrader4 Agree. I see the rather inevitable eVTOL short-haul future which makes it fun to follow. But slowly building aircraft, especially in a non-sales model like Joby...well, BE seems a far way off (with any of the players). Animal spirits is the only wildcard.
I'm a holder of Joby before it was $JOBY - IYKYK. That said, I've yet to see a numbers breakdown of their path to profitably, even BE, despite us knowing production ramp figures. Do investors fear (including myself), true math & length of time. Has anyone taken a stab?
@Alidina@JeffMacke@mylesgrote It's a puzzle. Apart from the Row, which was a late-COVID hangover release, and the easily forecasted ill-fated Guide, I struggle to find any attempt at innovation or positive growth-enhancing change of path from the company over four+ years. There's just no fire or inspiration
