If they want to move them off the lot, I suggest having a fire sale.

Maybe that’s why they are piling up. People don’t want to burn their houses down. LOL!

People are smacking themselves on the head and saying “I could have had a V8”.

"If they want to move them off the lot, I suggest having a fire sale."

Given news of that fire off the Dutch coast, its in the realm of possibility.

Good.

Do you think the businesses care about market forces?

I live only a couple of miles from a Tesla dealership and the number of cars there just keeps on increasing every time I drive by. They’re practically out of room to store them now.

The secrets are coming out on those white elephants.

No one wants a ticking time bomb in their garage that may or may not spontaneously combust whether it’s charging or not.

Got a friend that has a salesman friend at a local dealership. The other day he asked how EV sales were going, the salesman said they can’t give ‘em away.

This was not the scenario many people predicted.

Actually, lots of people predicted this scenario. The ones that ignored it are the greedy politicians and investors that have and are pushing these things on everyone, regardless of their ability to do what they say the EVs can do. They’re POSs, pure and simple.

The savior of the world, isn’t he...nothing but a snake oil salesman

Problem is the 50k base models are no where to be found, while the 80k+ models are the majority of what is sitting on dealers lots with another 15k over MSRP adjustment. If you want to spend 80k on a EV truck, you just have to be lucky enough to walk in when a dealer has to trim back it floor plan. A few people are getting MSRP with ornerouse dealer sold financing on the EV-150s. Buying with cash at MSRP still is not back to a thing. Willing Customers have to hold out and say you have 5 on your lot, 120 days worth, MSRP all cash deal is my final offer. The rest of us who have 50k to spend on an EV, will wait and pick up the deals.

Let the EVs sit around for a while and they will become a self-starting fire sale.

Stories like this only reinforce the reputation of the EV as a serious fire hazard:
