Yeah, the motors of the future are just gonna be printed circuitboards instead of winded motors.

Even in Europe, Diesel sales are crashing after Dieselgate. I think germany is the only one who is still holding Diesel sales. Add to the fact that stricter regulations and push for EVs coming in Europe, Diesel is going to free fall even faster.

We are talking about the same automakers here right?

That isn’t true. Adding more batteries costs less than the first, cause there are other parts to a PHEV like motor, inverter, transmission and etc.

Because they are worried that once someone tries PHEVs, they will realize that maybe a BEV meets their needs just fine and that would be their next car.

I would consider 37 miles EPA range the bare minimum (average daily commute in US). At least 50 miles range would be preferred and 100 miles range would be ideal for a PHEV.

It is fine if it is someone else cause they’ll go bankrupt. But we know banks are not allowed to go bankrupt and will just get bailed out. Its best to stop the banks from doing a takeover and let whoever wants to deal with those land mines deal with them.

And how long till the crazies start calling climate change a hoax because the weather forecast is now less accurate due to less data collection? Then argue more data collection is a bad thing at the same time.

Red truck or blue truck, weights or no weights. It’s quite clear neither truck is going anywhere soon.

He is advertising for Chevy in advance cause he is gonna need a new job soon so its good to make a good impression.

New vehicle registrations in the state of California, Tesla’s biggest market in the U.S., were down by almost half compared to last year, which could spell trouble for the automaker’s second-quarter earnings report coming up.

To be honest, the whole Muscle car thing seems to be dying. The Mustang is at record low sales, and this is before covid even.

Because it is easier to stomach 40k+ price if its a luxury brand than a non-luxury brand. Then when they can increase their economies of scale and cut costs, they can release a cheaper version under nissan.

Battery tech makes perfect sense on Mars. You won’t be bringing the batteries there other than a few, most would be produced locally as the materials to build them are all there.

Lithium Ion batteries are more than appropriate for Mars colonization. You need batteries anyways one way or the other. You can’t just run around with portable nuclear reactors everywhere.

Why would the infiniti model be 10k more? That’s my point, make it infiniti while keeping the price. This way 40k+ for a luxury brand is more acceptable than 40k for a non-luxury brand.

Well, not the JC08 test... The JC08 is worse than even the old NEDC test.

I don’t think Nissan has the battery capacity to make it “For the masses”, and the 40k+ price would be easier for people to accept when its a luxury brand then a non-luxury brand.

The long range battery in a two-wheel drive model is expected to deliver up to 379 miles of range, while the smaller battery four-wheel drive model is the worst-range scenario with 267 miles of range.

If you are familiar with Paypal’s history, Musk was the person who fought the ebay sell till the very end. He lost because as ebay raised the price, his supporters left and he didn’t have enough shares to block the vote.
