Yep, they are missing the boat....that huge increase in sales of sedans and coupes surely portends VW’s demise.....

Let’s be clear: the Tesla truck is not “rated” to tow 14,000. This was just a claim thrown out during a media event with no details or specifications to back it up.

The ones are I’ve seen have the carpet removed modified door cards with door pulls and include the fire suppression system, harnesses and roll cage. They have air jacks and additional cooling, etc.

Race car for the road is the most over used piece of PR BS.

Dear America: you are fucked. Your celebrity obsession and willingness to allow billionaires to break any law they want will be your down fall.

Here is what we know:

So Tesla has been paying for advertising masquerading as a fake report since 2016. What’s your point?

That report was paid for by Tesla. It’s of no actual value as its main points are data manipulations intended to benefit Tesla.

You are aware that is a global number right? And that the United States is not actually the only country in the world? (I know some Americans struggle with this....).

The Ford is eligible for the $7,500 credit.

Ford has 15 vehicles currently in their North American line up that are redesigned on average every 7 years. They botched the Explorer/Aviator. That’s still a very respectable batting average across the fleet.

“Twitter is an excellent gauge of public interest”

It was not a global license, it only allowed them to sell it overseas.

That license did not include rights to sell the product in North America.

They are selling thousands as cheap road going vehicles in India.

FCA is not interested in being in the side by side business. That’s their prerogative. They own the design, it’s theirs to do what they want with it.

It’s FCA protecting their brand in the NA market.

It will take well over 50 years before the you could expect “all” cars on the road to be EV. That gives adequate time to upgrade the infrastructure and increase capacity. It also gives time for several generations of battery, charging and electric motor technology to develop.

That only alleviates the requirements for crash testing with the NHTSA and emissions testing with the EPA.
