4th: Even die hard gas-a-holics should revel in the fact that EV use is reducing demand for oil. In the span of the rest of their lives, reduced demand will help keep prices low enough so they can continue coal-rolling and otherwise offsetting all the benefits that those who buy EVs are doing by eschewing fossil fuels…
There’s panel you can pop out on the bumper with two wires behind it. You jump to those two wires which pops the hood. Then under the hood you have to remove more panels to get to the actual 12v battery jump terminals, where you can then get power to the battery letting you open the doors. SIMPLE!!!
Here in the Bay Area Tesla’s are stacked at every stoplight and intersection. Half the kids at our school get dropped off in Teslas. It’s been like this for years but its changing. Now we see a lot of Rivians, Hyundais, Kias, and a few Lucids and BMW i4s in the mix.
I have a leased Mach E GT for a daily and I’ll never to back to ICE for an everyday car. I have a GT350 as well so I get my fix for a manual and glorious V8 sounds.
The grille is too big for my tastes (but at least I assume it’s all functional), but I like the rest of it even if the side profile is derivative.
He’s alienating progressives, who are most likely to buy an EV, and cozying up with conservatives, who are least likely to buy an EV. That doesn’t really bode well when you’re the CEO of a company that only makes EVs.
That misses the point of this article though. A lot of publications seem to be running stories or editorials talking about the collapse of EV sales and how everyone pushed too early and blah blah blah. These articles focus solely on the total numbers - which is understandable. But when the collapse in EV sales is just…
we bought one... we arent toyota people, but with the closeouts and toyota trying to dump them, it was absolutely the cheapest new EV we could get our hands on... and for that it was worth it.
I wonder why this is a problem that bELONgs only to Tesla. Weird.
Making your face the brand identity, and then making “scumbag” your brand, really working out well for Elon and Tesla. Totally worth those billions.
I am unlikely to buy a Tesla in the near future because its CEO is a modern day Henry Ford, and there are numerous issues with the EV’s themselves.
Can’t say it enough times. Only Tesla is suffering, everyone else...the global EV market as a whole, is moving forward at considerable speed. The ‘great change over’ is closer than a lot of people want to believe.
In another case, engineers were locked out of the vehicle’s hatch, forcing them to climb through the interior to access the cargo area. This explains the number of prototypes we have seen with cords hanging out from their hatches, as the upscale models have power hatches.
Doing well is relative - the smart fortwo and Mitsubishi Mirage sold in the low 20k range in a good year, the Honda Fit mostly sold in the 50k range yearly. I think there’s a small market for something like this (about 20k buyers a year), although I think it’d involve putting in a slightly nicer back seat and…
I think the most common way is to file Ch. 11 and then move to Ch. 7 when it doesn’t work. I think “technically” filing Ch. 7 right out of the gate can lead to investor lawsuits since it can be looked at as not having the shareholders best interests at heart, even if a Ch. 11 reorg probably won’t work.
They are putting ALOT and I mean ALOT of value on their IP with assets valued at $500mm to $1bn.
Sounds like he yanked it too hard (he pulled it a feet away from the bodywork, which sounds way too far). The amount of times he did probably doesn’t play much of a role (although it appears he did at least twice).
LOL, you’re actually taking the word of someone who started off his video by saying that he lied to you in the last one.
This is just one of ten million examples of the amazing complexity of duties the government performs that get no glory, no PR, no credit but are really important. And yet we have people that want to eliminate the government, it’s boggling.
