Teslas are just not competitive like they used to be. You could overlook the creaks and the misaligned seams and iffy paint jobs when their specs were head and shoulders above anything else. But right now there are several cars that are just as good if not better on specs than Tesla’s offerings. I love my Ioniq 5 and…

What does the absolute number of people have to do with the percentage of new cars that are EVs? Why is it easier to sell 90% EVs with a lower population than a higher population? This makes zero sense!

“suddenly having to slow to 20 mph on an Interstate, on a Saturday morning, for three miles, for no apparent reason...”

“The driver then drove around the gates, which were still down, unaware that the Brightline train was also coming down the tracks from the opposite direction.”

They make good leases, though, because the residuals in those lease deals are nowhere near the actual amount of depreciation. 

Buyer: “I want a new car.”

Grow up. Say what you want about Musk, et al., but Tesla is not a “meme stock.” 

You gain a lot by jettisoning the ability to ride on dirt. A normal bike with street suspension and street tires is going to be way better for your riding; an ADV is just a fashion accessory for most people, just like how station wagons are better for most people than hulking SUVs. 

“Lithium mining is dangerous both to the environment and the people who live in that environment and work in the mines. But this is Arkansas, a state that allowed coal mines to carve up and pollute its landscapes for over a century.”

Consumers are never happy. Like the man said, if we listened to consumer’s we’d have gotten faster horses, not cars. 

Eradicating Trumpism will be done in less than a month. I think we can plan for EVs in the meantime. 

GOOD. Fewer jobs means cheaper cars. The assembly line was GOOD actually, even thought it result in “few jobs” hand-building cars. Get a grip everyone; technology is good.

People keep watering that word down to nothing. 

Not many manufacturers are making any sort of $25,000 car at all. That’s a serious cheap car by today’s standards when $40k is the norm. 

So long as they aren’t stored at 100% charge should be OK. 

What dipshit believes this. These tariffs would be illegal under the exact trade agreement Trump “renegotiated” and bragged about.

Yeah the fine should be $10 so nobody changes their behavior. Effective!

They also make the Equinox which starts at like $35k before incentivea.

It’s a valid point that there is little charging infrastructure where there are people, despite those places having grid electricity necessary to support EV charging.

Nice, the EV9 is really impressive. My wife and I got an Ioniq 5 once we realized our Volt wasn’t quite hacking it now that we added a baby to the mix. We love it. The interior is massive compared to gas cars with the same exterior footprint, it charges insanely fast (25-85% last night in 17 minutes), has great range,…
