Ford recalls 456,565 vehicles over loss of drive power

Most modern cars with automated lights, park sensors, and wipers require you to turn them off before going through a car wash. Tesla just made those 3 toggles a single button.

Car wash mode just closes all windows, locks the charge port, and disables windshield wipers, Sentry Mode, walk-away door locking, and parking sensor chimes. 

Between this meh-appearing hatchback with its Blade Runner-ish details that don’t click at all and the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Charger EV coupe and sedan with equal performance and probably equal price:

Are buyers rejecting EV or rejecting EV pricing?

Laden or not, our gasser F250 would need at least 4 fuel stops, filling both tanks so an electric sounds pretty appealing. Though a hybrid HD pickup with 8' bed would be mighty fine.

To me, it’s frustrating...

I’ll start criticizing America’s love for gas powertrains when an EV truck can drive across Texas without having to stop four times to charge, eight times if they’re towing.

True, but honestly buying cars and thinking of resale value is a sucker’s game IMHO. With the insane prices that cars command these days you should really be buying the most reliable car you can find and plan on keeping it until it becomes un-economical to keep it on the road. And by that time most cars aren’t going…

Oh, yes, the old “everyone increased their money supply and juiced demand while limiting supply”.

he fired his PR a year before buying twitter. 

I know a few people who didn’t buy because of Elon. Of course, they are suffering trying to charge their other EVs at the other broken fast chargers... but that’s essentially what has kept me in a Tesla. Now, when other cars have NACS for the same price, it’ll be interesting. 

That’s sort of where I am. Not in a market for a Car, but the Y checks boxes others don’t.  Price, Performance, Range, Charging network.   It’s sort of impossible to ignore.

I despise Elon but I’m genuinely curious about which vehicles you consider “so much better” than Tesla, dollar for dollar (especially at these new prices), spec for spec. I bought a Model Y 3.5 years ago before I realized what a horrible person he is. Since then I have tried to find a suitable replacement. I test…

Model 2 doesn’t compete with the 3 or Y and was never going to be sold in the US. It’s a tiny Polo/Yaris/ID2 size city car for Europe and Asia.

One of the reasons Tesla has been the darling of the stock market is precisely because their profit margins are high.

While I dislike elon, pretending that the drop is purely due to his personality is a fallacy. All EVs are depreciating like rocks and being marked down or given favorable financing across the board. 

Maybe this is why they cancelled the $25K Model2 — it would have actually been like $28-29K, and now you can buy a Model Y for like $34K.
