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,…

If we can make normies want hybrids as the “baseline” vehicle, that’s progress. I do think eventually EVs will simply be cheaper and offer better ride quality, and charging infrastructure will be robust enough that people realize you only need to fast-charge for long road-trips. Still, progress!

Yup, my Ioniq 5 barely touches 4.0 miles/kWh at 65 sustained with minimal A/C. 

The big thing here is the efficiency: 4.44 miles/kWh is incredible.

LMAO Space X is far cheaper and has a far better record than NASA. What an insane take.

You just set a normal charge limit of 80% when you drive the car home for the first time. Then you just plug in an never think about it again until you want to go on a long, long road trip and you charge to 100% the night before. 

Actually, making large, heavy three-row SUVs no longer burn gas is probably better than the margin improvements of making a small, light sedan that gets 38 mpgs without a hybrid system an EV.
