Every time I visit my home town, I drive by a Tesla charging station. A lot of times I see a truck with a covered trailer behind it.
My guess is that it has picked up a Tesla which didn’t make it to the station.
Lucid, you’re dreaming. Haha. See what I did there?
Tesla and Electric Cars will end up on the Ash heap of History.
Ah, the memories of the “technological breakthrough of the century” .... free energy coming soon .... E-Cat, the way of the future for free energy.
Electric cars are a fad; they’ve were around since the 1900s. Wind and solar power will not feed them. That’s only 6% of America’s total power output.
My 2019 Jeep Trackhawk 392 supercharged Hemi 707hp isn’t buying electric power. It wants 92oct GAS.
Eff the Greenie azzholes.
Tesla made a lot of its patents public domain. Logically, it should have made the supercharger patents, if there are any, public domain, as that would be one of the big hurdles to acceptance of electric cars. Why is this necessary?
Make a small utility pick up truck, give it a 350 mile range, strip it down from all the bells and whistles, and then go do fleet sales to cities, utilities, etc. You’d likely have customers lining up around the block - and this is a sales formula that works, the same one utilized by the hybrid industry as they were coming into the market.
Your problem is selling against hybrids, LPG and fuel cells - your advantage is being able to say ‘near zero maintenance.’
There is nothing ZEV about electric cars no matter who makes them. They just shift the pollution and energy use to different places in the timeline of production. There are some very good arguments that EVs are more polluting than IC vehicles.
As I said before if an EV company came out with a pick up/ SUV that tows a 24’ boat or a travel trailer and carries 7 passengers, I’d buy it.
