I suspect it happened before they even knew they were in serious trouble. Composites don’t typically give much warning before they fail.

people suck if they thinking harassing a person over their purchase is even remotely close to acceptable.

all electric cars are depreciating rapidly but i think this is temporary.  There are demand issues as those who want to switch mostly have already. There is a lot of ignorance around EVs so people are reluctant to buy used ones. But the biggest is that the expanded tax credits and the tesla price wars where tesla has…

Reliability on BEVs is very model to model. You’ll have to research the model that you want to know if the issues are things like a glitchy UI or if they are battery pack issues. Much like how Lexus owners will complain about cupholders while Dodge owners deal with a failed transmission, BEV issues are not nearly as…

Tax incentives is one . I know this particular vehicle may have not been eligible for the federal tax incentive but much of its competition has been sold with such which lowers the used selling price for EV s in general. Also, certain States(CO, CA, and some others) would have offered tax incentives up to $5,000 with…

Ive had mine the 1st one off tge train for my LongRangebaseModel, it still after recalls still over 300 miles and it was avail in Cali post 04/03/23. The SEL&LTD models were released in Feb. Almost bought the 5 but really glad we waited for this Model of the 6, way less range anxiety, 18 to fuel up, and looks like a…

Public sentiment about EVs I think. People think used EV and they think bad expensive battery that will need to be replaced very soon, but it couldn’t be further from the truth.

It’s all public sentiment based on FUD about EVs. The cars themselves are totally solid, and people who don’t let the bullshit rule their decision-making are getting killer deals.

Or the pregnant women in Arkansas who was attempting to get to a well lit area and was PITTed and her car flipped over.  Top notch policing right there.

I doubt he cares if the company goes bankrupt. He’s speed running a coup at the moment.

Prices on used Ioniq 5s, which is the much better looking car, appear to be in a similar range, which is to say, deeply depreciated. Here’s one for only $21k. www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicle/738116079?allListingType=all-cars&city=Waukesha&makeCode=HYUND&modelCode=HYUIONIQ5&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fall-cars%…

Who needs to worry about selling cars when he’s already taken over the federal check writing authority.

lead a low-speed chase to the next exit, and stop in a place that has some outpost of civilization, rather than pulling over immediately in the middle of nowhere

If you can afford to get an ex-cop car, black it out and install lights on it, you can likely afford to get a pack of business cards.

It’s been clear that Musk doesn’t care about the auto business. As long as he can pump the stock why would he even care? Tesla bots. Tesla Taxi. Any day now bro, selling cars is old news. 

Welcome to nearly every city in the southeast. It’s almost as if red states don’t bother investing in infrastructure until they are forced over a barrel.

Long time sufferer of every inch of highway in and around Charlotte. In a tractor trailer, no less.

“...white maple leaves, referencing local beer produced by Sycamore Brewing.”

Just for comparison, an F150 Lightning can be leased for $0 down $450/mo. And you won’t get flipped off or keyed everywhere you go!

Wake me up when I can get one at $750 per month and $0 down ...
