  1. regardless of the number of year it's been out... it could have been out 1 year and like the malibu needed a refresh right at launch. The ATS needs the refresh now. Period.
  2. Exactly, and worst case scenario they pull something off a local lot that is for sale and add it to the fleet. Also, I'm sure there is going to be some standard of scheduling turnaround time... it's not going to be nearly instant like Uber.
  3. The concept of load planning remains the same. Think of each model offered as a "car class" in the system and you'll see why this isn't a problem.
  4. There is tech out there called load planning that addresses this issue. Airlines, railroads, and rental car agencies use it. It's designed specifically so Book doesn't have to have 200 of each vehicle. Eventually the system gets smart enough to know which vehicles are needed when and where and at what margin of error to keep up with the unexpected. And 200 people signing up is pulling in $3.6 million a year, GM still owns the cars, and can sell them as certified preowned at a premium when they're done. Seems like sound math to me.
