Elon Musk Testing The Model 3's Main Competitor: His First Impressions
E-car = goofy wheels.
Musk has gambled heavily on China. He has situated Tesla plants in China and hopes to show a profit and reward his investors by selling huge numbers of EVs in China. sorry but ultimately he will go bankrupt. any manufacturing, software or battery developments or patents held by Tesla will be pirated and put in the hands of Chinese EV manufacturers. They will underprice him. Also any profit he manages to make from Chinese sales will never reach his mostly American shareholders. The fact is unless forced by Democrat laws and regulations, most buyers shun EVs and prefer cars with internal combustion engine. The truth be told there can never be enough “green electricity” to power a car fleet the size of America’s. The whole concept is flawed and bogus.However be ready to give up your personal vehicle if the Democrats take power. They hate the personal freedom you have to travelwith your car.
BTW Musk himself is a very flawed drug using character. IMHO he has a death wish and will crash his companies.
Frankly, I think that once the big auto producers start making electrics, tesla will be history.
I saw a show that compared electric cars by cutting them up and looking at the parts. They said tesla bodies were extremely inefficient in construction methodology and cost of construction. However, they did LOVE their motor tech. If the other manufacturers can match Tesla’s motor tech, I think Tesla is done.
Of course, big companies have other “big overhead”.
I see Tesla as a slightly more successful 21st century version of Tucker.
Which isn't saying much. The average worker in North Dakota makes more than the average German.
