You mean it’s not that unique of a design?

Are we gonna say that every plane copied each other at this point? or cars copy each other for the general shape?

Batteries (from China) are CHEAP as fuck right now. You can buy it at about 50 cents/wh for the all in one systems... Throw in a few cheap solar panels, and you’re good for most disasters in the south for what its worth if all you’re powering is a few LED bulbs and critical medical devices...

you can get it to look uniform...

This has been making the rounds, but it’ll be true somewhere.

As someone who’s had vinyl letters on the car before, this happens to normal cars too...

I mean... The new 400Z (in basically every trim except for the very base) is overpriced for what it offers...

Housing costs also shot up to an average of around 38% of people’s income..... where as it was only around 20-25% 30 years ago...

Maybe if Americans aren’t brain dead retarded and can plan further than the length of the memory of a gold fish...

Now add in 21 oil changes (assuming you’re only doing it every 10k miles) and pretty much every other engine maintenance item (spark plugs, injectors, and etc) that EVs don’t need.

The price tag of a battery replacement of a first run limited production niche car isn’t really indicative of the actual battery replacement cost of mass produced vehicles....

I mean... the other car based on the same platform BYD dolphin sells for $28k in the EU ($14k in China) and got 5 star NCAP crash rating.... Seagull is gonna sell for $20k in the EU ($9k in China) and everyone is expecting the same crash rating...

Sounds like they’re doing the pilots a favor by letting them go to a bigger and better paying carrier that’s all short on pilots lol.

1st gear: who knew that expensive EV that doesn’t perform that well doesn’t sell?

Owned by canadians though.

I don’t think it’s a issue in the long term... but with how more American households are living paycheck to paycheck in a lifestyle that they generally can’t actually afford? a lot of people are gonna get screwed just like in 08...

It is (for the average consumer) when average consumers are losing purchasing power because their wages are stagnant for 30+ years compared to everything else.

The 51% thing hasn’t been a thing for years... Tesla owns 100% of their own factory and Chinese subsidiary , and literally every other manufacturer has the ability to buy more of the coop...

You do realize that tariffs just raises prices for the end consumers right...

Um... You do realize that you’re describing capitalism right? The jobs go to the lowest bidder especially when there’s almost no “skilled labor” involved.
