I predict there may be a huge "firesale" on EVs very soon.

LOL!

[Red Badger]

Let me know when ‘The Beast’ is an EV...............

[central_va]

Seriously though, why can't Tesla make a greay hybrid? Why all EV all the time?

[xzins]

Have they tapped their available market?

[Sacajaweau]

I predict that Elon will sell off Tesla. Don’t ask me how...

“Let me know when ‘The Beast’ is an EV...............”
Heh, then we could have a dead battery outside with an “almost dead” president inside.

Shocking, electrifying!!!

[rktman]

Jolting!

Good luck trying to sell a used EV. Who in their right mind woukd buy a car whose replacement battery costs $10,000 or more?

Tesla is far more than a car company. Tesla is a leader in applied AI also. The error in thinking is that the goal is to have everyone driving an electric car.

The actual Tesla goal is to make the best cars in existence and to sell to those that understand the product thus making extreme profits.

Good luck running a 50a 220v service to the outside of your house or garage. After pricing eveything to do that I said forget it. That is with me doing all the labor.

Saw a guy on Fox Weather, standing in front of a house, with a clear view of what was left of the garage.

He said that it “appears” that an EV car interacted with the sea water and caught fire, burning down the house - in the midst of a hurricane!

It turned out to be nothing more than a very expensive fad and the fools who got snookered are left wondering how they could have been so stupid. If it’s Musk with EV’s or Trump with the jab it just goes to show that even the smartest guys around can get taken.

[Sacajaweau]

I’m just talking the EV car business.

[mowowie]

Tesla also has androids coming out soon..

I would love to know what percentage of electric vehicle owners rely on it exclusively as their mode of transportation.

I think that’s one of the major reasons people won’t buy EV’s. Unlike a gasoline or diesel car. Depending on age and condition, the dealer will either go through it replace where parts, basic fluid changes, etc. And put it back on the lot and can still make money from a second sale. If it’s an older model car that they don’t want to put on their lot, they can still make money selling it at auction where it will be snapped off by some used car lot who will do the same thing.

With electric vehicles, would you trade the red, you’re doing it because the battery doesn’t hold range. At that point, the cars have little value, then you factored in $10,000 battery replacement and the essentially scrap at that point.

The government helped “snooker” some people with the tax rebate subsidy.

EVs are such failures even car jackers don’t want EVs.
