When comparing EVs to ICE it’s actually pretty valid.

This is exactly what it is. 

Considering a traffic cop just got demoted for refusing to honour the NYPD’s literal “get out of jail free” cards, I’m gonna go with a hard no.  They’re rotten to the core, and anyone who attempts to clean up the org from the inside gets hammered down.

Some brain dead PR drone with no sense of self awareness is probably trying to “reclaim” the acronym, without relalizing how tone deaf they are coming across. In fact they probably did it with a little bit of spite.

It will be better in every way possible.

Can you tell me with a straight face you’d drop $60k on one of these?

And most people won’t ever buy a minivan, but even the starting price of a Tahoe is far enough below the X that gas savings won’t make up the difference.

EV makers need to come to this realization:

“167 horsepower, the EV6 Light gets 232 miles of range.”

I cannot agree more, not even on the maintenance side. I had to safety my car (to buy out my own lease, go figure) and the dealership told me that I had a bent wheel, $650 each to be replaced. I went to my local tire shop, it was a wheel balance issue, that cost me $60. Fuck these guys.

If you are looking at countries that really push EV, the rate of adoption is actually crazy (Norway). 80% of their new vehicle is EV.

They sell well, they actually cannot supply enough. They are pissed because they cannot rip off customers on the maintenance like they do on ICE products.

They sell well. They just have lower maintenance requirements and fewer reliability issues that can be moneymakers for the service department. On top of which they need to retrain their service department.

Just let it die

Yeah, they don’t sell well. I guess that’s why the Model Y was the best selling car worldwide last quarter.

What gives you that impression? BEV market share in the US is only going up every year. Q1 2023 market share was 7.2%, it was 5.3% for Q1 2022 and 3.2% Q1 2021.
Total BEVs sold in Q1 2021 was just under 100k. Q3 of this year? over 250k.
Looking at these numbers, a goal of 10% of fleet being BEV by 2030 seems not just…

Kinda sounds to me like they don’t want to sell them because they don’t sell well, not so much that they refuse to because of personal reasons.

Car dealers can eat all the shit.

The part where he bitched about them being “toys, not real cars” or the part where he bitched about clean energy?

Not sure of the “not selling well” as I see a lot of them out and about when I am driving.
