This is an interesting video from a guy named Serpentza who is a South African Expat who has been living in China for over a decade, and he talks about EV cars manufactured in China that are simply put into a field to rot, because while it is important to Communist China to manufacture them, the production far outstips actual buyers.

This is because it is important to the Communists to be able to trumpet how they lead the world in EV manufacturing. But they aren't being sold, so...they stick them out in these fields. This is just one field:

EV overproduction in Communist China results in these fields full of tens of thousands of unused, unwanted EVs

This has to be a very stressful time for Elon Musk.

He paid $44 billion for Twitter, which has only made a modest profit in two of its seventeen years.

Musk and Twitter are now facing highly focused, in your face, deep pockets competition from billionaire Mark Zuckerberg.

Tesla makes a solid profit, but it has been forced to cut prices twice in the last twelve months because of intense competition.

Tesla stock is currently selling at 80X times earnings, which is a very high risk, highly speculative value.

I like Musk, and I am cheering for him, but he has dug himself a very deep financial hole to climb out of.

Charging concerns...

Now there’s a euphemism.

I wonder how many residences in NYS still have 60A services...🤔

This is why the lefties are pushing to ban gasoline-powered cars. That’s the only way EVs are going to sell. Right now the only ones purchasing them are virtue-signalling elites.

Electric cars are supposed to allow for the abolition of internal combustion engines in personal vehicles. Once we have lost the gas-powered cars, the government will declare electric vehicles completely unworkable as an alternative and outlaw their sale and use. Then, the people will have to walk or bicycle.

The electric vehicle was always a ruse to destroy our personal freedom. This plan is to make sure the government has complete control over everyone. Combine this with digital money and everyone becomes a slave who can be destroyed with the push of a computer button to deny someone’s ability to buy anything.

You speak dissent against the tyrants and you are cancelled and starved to death and cannot flee in an automobile.

No worries, our government will use your money to subsidize the automotive industry EVs.

I wouldn't buy one if it was the last car on the planet.

EV’s are a solution that does not work for a problem that does not exist.

I remember these on care lots back in 1976. Never saw one being driven on the streets.

The EVs have been around long enough to start seeing all the problems. Replacement battery horror stories, accident horror stories, charging horror stories, etc.

It’s all working according to the centralized committee’s current 10-year plan, comrades!
