VinFast and Mitsubishi to Collab on After-Sales Service (and Recycling Used Cooking Oil)

Perhaps answering at least some of the questions we all have about VinFast and its long-term plans in this country, owner Vingroup announced this morning it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Mitsubishi to explore providing after-sales services in international markets. Mitsu will also establish a working group to collect used cooking oil.

Wait, what?

Redapple2 Neat post. Unique topic. RE -gm- caddy. They ve been trying to fix it for 45 years. Right? Name me a 4-5 year span where they had 2-3 models that were aspirational, desirable, class leading ( not counting excalade.) It cant be done. You can fix anything in 10 years, much less 45 years. If you cant, you have baked in systemic dysfunction.
Arthur Dailey Didn't we do this before? Bigger. Badder. Add a v-12 or a v-16. More expensive. More chrome. More glitz. More 'bling'. Totally impractical. Rather than a vehicle make it a fashion statement. 'I have so much money that I can waste it on one or two of these.'
Arthur Dailey Include a flux capacitor and I don't care about the cost. Regardless this is indeed a rather 'cool' conversion. As Matt stated it would actually improve the vehicle, and make it more 'movie accurate'. And who would use a DeLorean for a trip of more than 150 miles?
Pale ghost In the mid 70s we were doing an IT audit at a plant in the middle of MO that manufactured automotive paint. Among the other deficiencies was the site did not have a backup disaster recovery site within 100 miles. We pointed out that doing payroll and even producing the batch cards to make paint would be impossible if the computer went down. The plant manager said the reason they don't have a back up site is that there are no other companies with an IBM 360 they could partner with anywhere nearby. He dismissed our concerns. They would do payroll by hand and 'we made paint before computers and I'm sure we still can'. About a year later the mainframe crapped the bed. The 500 wage roll workers told the payroll clerk how much of an advance they wanted and she typed out checks on an IBM Selectric typewriter. When the beast came backup up they ran payroll and backed out the advances. The payroll calculations were complicated with a union and all. Shift differentials, call in allowances, different types of overtime, meal allowances, you name it. The amazing thing was how accurate the wage roll guys' advance request calculations were. And yeah, they were still able to make ship paint.
