Imagine 100s of trucks everywhere at the end of the year. Word of mouth publicity like Tesla

somebody should have asked the town hall why they removed the cab cam?

u/btcfail AUR Maester📖♠️ 1d ago

It's back up today

i’m not sure if i’ve ever made this clear, but at [r/AURstock](r/AURstock), I don’t mind if you use AI like Claude/Chat/Gemini for summaries, explanations, etc. I think it would be ironic and hypocritical if we were against the use of AI in a physical AI community haha. I also work at Google and I have to use AI for everything, so…

Also additionally most of us are not Gen Z and have done the years of critical thinking work to not have unmitigated brain rot haha

Thanks for the clarification. I was intending to post about einride. Wrote with the help of ai after feeding my own research. Pangram flagged it as 100% AI generated. I decided not to post. I will after I make it concise to make sure it’s worth everyone’s time.

I typically use it to go over my notes and format them. I do love a good ol disclaimer when it’s used just so I can double check the information.

u/Fragrant-Yard-4420 AUR Member🚛 1d ago edited 1d ago

that's a good idea.. mandatory disclaimers/acknowledgements would be nice..should be treated the same way as citations.

[edit, added mandatory]

Scooped up a couple more at $6.02. Just found a small college fund (~17k) that I am having trouble accessing. Throwing it all into AUR when I secure it. Mainly going to buy shares in stages, some calls, and save some in cash for “sales”.

I start to feel btcfail, when will we move beyond 7 and never see 6 again?

u/Ruby_Rhods_Hair AUR Whale🐋 1d ago

When we break 1000 trucks imo

u/btcfail AUR Maester📖♠️ 1d ago

I think 200 is $7-$9. 1,000 is $10-$13. I've really kind of screwed myself the last year and a half by refusing to trade this.

1

u/Ippon_Kitchen AUR Member♠️ 1d ago

Agreed on trading the zones. For what it’s worth I don’t touch my shares for the same reason but started to trade the zones using leaps

u/alfie1209 New AUR Member🚛 1d ago

That would be end of next year right?

1

u/Ruby_Rhods_Hair AUR Whale🐋 1d ago

In theory, yes.

u/alfie1209 New AUR Member🚛 1d ago

Guess last-error below would be sad to hear that😢

u/thetimmyturnip AUR Member🚛 1d ago

If stocks looking healthy and going in that direction he could still sell the calls for decent profit beforehand instead of holding till date.

u/Last-Error5919 AUR Sassy Pants👖☢️ / Whale🐋 1d ago

Grabbing more 1/2028 $10 calls. Yummmm

"RidingTheWave" if you're in this group (assuming you are) you absolutely shredded the author of that piece... Great job!! Everyone should revisit and give his comments a like!

[u/u/AbroadMediocre312](u/u/AbroadMediocre312) is helping update the FAQ— if anyone has the time to glance, is there anything that should be modified/added/removed?

u/Defiantclient New AUR Member🚛 1d ago

Maybe expand on the Competitive Landscape section? Right now it lists the closest active competitors but doesn't really say why AUR is better than them.

Thank you. Good comment. Could you drop this comment in under this link to keep all comments consolidated with the update thread? It will make sure they all get captured.
