LOL!
Let me know when ‘The Beast’ is an EV...............
Have they tapped their available market?
I predict that Elon will sell off Tesla. Don’t ask me how...
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?
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!
I predict there may be a huge “firesale” on EVs very soon.

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.
I think the hybrids make sense and the investment in the EV’s will eventually yield better hybrid autos.
Stay tuned for the next big scam, for the Donors, to rape the taxpayers, again.....
When is the Federal gov’t going to stop throwing our tax dollars to support an industry with a dying demand? I think it was a 10 year old Nissan Leaf that originally cost about $32K. The owner took it to a dealer for a battery replacement. Cost: $27000. Who’s going to put $27K into a 10 year old car, which means the owner must sell or trade it. So who’s going to buy it knowing it needs a $27K battery. Also, people are starting to realize that “clean” EV’s are not so clean and require using the grid to charge them, and a good portion of that power comes from coal. Then there’s the 90 tons of earth that has to be moved to produce 1 battery and the diesel fuel to move all that dirt, then move the ore to a processing plant, and then move a 1000lb battery to the assembly plant, and then move it again to the dealer.
The American consumer is saying No to the market for EV, so it’s time for the gov’t to stop throwing our tax dollars at a product we don’t want.
The “interest” in electric cars is ginned up, fake. The legit market for them is tiny. “Legit” being people who won’t experience any of the limitations they impose.
Ihere are a lot of issues here, but I think the main thing is the randomly bursting into flame business.
When they create a battery that goes for 300,000 miles or more before it dies, and can travel 10,000 miles before needing a charge, and doesn’t burst Into flames at the slightest provocation, and is capable of running full ac and heat without hardly affecting the charge, who’s tires don’t crap the bed every 7000 miles or so, I’ll think about maybem perhaps buying an electric car... but then again probably not
Oversized electric golf cart fanbois hardest hit.
I have to laugh.
But, they are teh fastar!
