Just saying.
Build them in America.
Elon Musk is a visionary and genius and G.M. Are murders!
Tesla wanted to sell their cars on-line and then have them delivered directly to you.
GM used it’s influence with Federal and state governments to make that illegal in most, if not all, states.
Automobiles and firearms are the only product in America that requires you to visit a dealer to purchase, I think?
That’s all you need to know about the GM “competitive” spirit.
(Ironically, much like Tesla versus Edison back in the day.)
Well, unless the final solution is a fuel cell, it’s a loser because the consumer part of the power grid won’t be able to handle it...
I would call 400 miles a tipping point.
Most people in cities don’t have a garage, which means they will have no way to plug them in. City drivers are pretty much the only market for them.
The idea is doomed from the start.
I don’t think there is a “mass luxury market”. Get the range up, charging time down and a price around $25,000 without govt subsidies and you might have something.
A 200 mile electric car? I don’t care if it goes 500 miles, if I can’t recharge it in 5 minutes and it’s cheaper than gasoline. Neither of those two are going to happen
Most FReepers, had they been around 100 years ago, would have been laughing at the notion of a horseless buggy. Too slow, not much range, no gas stations, uncomfortable, yada yada yada.
No vision. Heaven help us. Ceding the future to so-called progressives. And it’s not just in this area.
Actually the WINNER will be whatever company (or companies) don’t take the leftist bait and try to build electric cars.
MANY other options available, that are MUCH BETTER, and safer.
Gm had the start 20 years ago and dropped the ball
I don’t care if a GM electric car has 10,000 mile range and costs less than my car, I’m boycotting that corrupt company forever. The sleaze of the GM bankruptcy is unforgivable.
