We’ve had self driving vehicles for a long time. Planes, trains, ships, light rails even buses. What they all have in common is that they only operate in highly controlled environments. Cars don’t. Cars are operating in the figurative far west that are public roads. Until we can make public roads as highly controlled…

EM is the problem. Get rid of him and I’m sure Tesla will sell more cars. I’m not buying a car from an antisemitic douche bag.

“I cannot figure out why the BoD of Tesla hasn’t put Musk out on his ass yet.” In the recent compensation lawsuit in Delaware, the judge ruled that the board was made up of Musk’s family and friends and was not independent.  I think this also answers your question.

That’s a lot of words spent on speculating why would the owner would auction the car, including all the usual EV naysayer’s talking points, while the reserve itself seems to indicate that they wanted to make a quick buck rather than getting “rid” of it for all its EV shortcomings (tm).

Don’t forget to add the CCS to NACS change for many big EV makers. Lots of people are confused about where they can charge today. I talked to a couple in a Genesis EV rental and talked them through charging on their trip to Napa. The different charge speeds and why they could not use a Tesla supercharger. Why it said…

Like any good consultant would say, “it depends”. Most of the cost variance coming from how far the main panel is from the desired location of the EVSE. We were fortunate enough to have our main 200A panel on the exterior garage wall itself, so running two lines (one to each side...literally 2ft for one and ~30ft for…

I’m sure you know this, but...

I’d also like to mention the trend with Manufacturers and dealerships:

Dealership: Orders everything in black, white, and gray. Pushes sales on the cars they have in stock.
Manufacturer: *arms up in the air* Hmmm, I guess people don’t want to buy colorful cars, let’s stop offering colorful cars.

Raises Hand. I DO! I DO! I DO!!!!!

You can get a tesla model 3 for 32k after the federal rebate. Thats the cost of a camry. There is nothing unique about EV’s when it comes to data. What you are saying makes no sense

Along with this, even their own reporting shows EV sales going up so far this year compared to last year.  This just seems like automakers over-correcting after previous shortcomings combined with high interest rates.  But sure, it has to mean no one wants EVs.

This is a bit of funny math on the part of the writer. How many Hummers at a sticker price of over $100k did GMC plan on selling?

This kind of goes against my personal experience. We somewhat recently drove to around 8 dealerships and most had 0 or 1 of any given EV model currently on the lot.

Hahahaha people are still posting shit like this? Next article should be; vehicles equipped with airbags and seatbelts strangle and kill more people than vehicles without. Repost some articles from 1970. Has about the same amount of truth as this crap. 

I averaged .26 kWh/mi today in a Model 3. That’s 26kWh for 100 miles. I buy my kWh for $.11 at home, so that’s $2.86 for 100 miles. Gas is $3.25/gallon here soooo..

It easy to forget about the bill you don’t have to pay and focus on the one that is due. I am bracing for my first electric/gas bill in the eight months since switching to solar. I will just sum up all the utility bills for the same period from prior year, and then decide.

Is this Facebook where grandpa is spouting whatever BS some random Fox News talking head told him to think? JFC I expect a bit more from a site dealing with cars. 

You are part of the problem.

Maybe they were looking at least efficient EVs in the most expensive electricity areas, and comparing that to a Prius in a cheap gas state.

Uh, what? This smells like bullshit to me.

My Chevy Bolt uses about 29Kwh to drive 100 miles.
I pay .25 per Kw to charge at home. That’s $7.25 for 100 miles.

My gas car gets about 22 mpg combined, for 100 miles that’s 4.5 gallons @ $4/gal = $18 in regular gas for 100 miles.
