Not at all.

Why does the goal of other car companies HAVE to be to put Tesla out of business? Why can’t they all make BEV cars and coexist? Is it the stated goal of GM to put Ford out of business or visa versa?

Been saying it for a year now. Tesla needs to get out of making cars and into licensing its tech. Let Ford make cars “Powered by Tesla!” and let said cars use the supercharger network.

There’s no reason why an EV needs a traditional engine bay or a long hood.

I am happy to see other companies finally playing a legitimate game of catch-up. I think that Tesla will be around for a very long time considering they pioneered the lux EV movement. Tesla will always be ahead of the game in this market even though current headlines say otherwise. I think by now Tesla can overcome…

BMW makes a profit on their cars.  They don’t use accounting tricks to make it happen either.

Most people buying electric cars have 2 or 3 other cars in the garage. If they want to go cross country, they’ll drive one of them. If they want to go across town, they’ll take the electric.

The E-Tron is an example of how Tesla ends. Porsche’s Taycan will be another example.

Lincoln is making great cars.  The new navigator is simply the best large SUV at its price point.

JD Power is not nearly as useful as Consumer Reports is, but in any case, you have to give Credit to Hyundai (Genesis). Folks doubted them, but they have continued to double down on making quality, reliable luxury cars.

This would be a game changer more than anything else - 10 minute charging that doesn’t F up the battery.

The Elise was reasonably priced and it sold poorly after the initial buyers scooped up a few thousand 05s.

“option”

The Fiata has the advantage of knowing it will be reliable and will have an enormous aftermarket support network.  

A roadster without a manual option seems silly - the entire point of a roadster versus a GT is to have a better driving experience and that usually involves more engagement such as shifting on one’s own.

6.  It may have been built outside by people working at a breakneck pace, with inadequate sleep, and perhaps using refurbished parts.

The point is simple: Numbers sell cars.  It isn’t the only factor, but it helps.

MY MAN!

Yeah, Ant was kind of put in an unwindable situation. He could mirror exactly what Edd would have done, but he’ll still never be quirky like Edd.
