Get $7,500 EV tax credit on their Inferior product
Ford has a HUGE battery plant on I-65 in Kentucky that is just now about to open up. I cannot imagine they have enough demand to justify the extreme capital investment, without government requiring EVs. Which is no longer the case under Trump. $6 billion this article says.
“Replacing an electric vehicle (EV) battery can cost between $5,000 and $20,000, depending on the make and model of the car. However, many EVs come with warranties that cover battery replacement for at least eight years or 100,000 miles, making actual replacement costs” (answer from AI on Google)
Last thing to consider is there are no minor fender bender accidents, an EV could be totaled in what normally considered a minor accident.
Why would anyone buy an EV is beyond me.
Show me the money.
I believe electric cars will be a huge part of the future, but not with the current crop of batteries.
Everyone is working on safe lighter batteries that charge faster and go much further. China is selling some already I think.
That’s why I wouldn’t buy electric yet.
Nothing wrong with hybrid, which is a way to get more mileage.
If you have to offer a $7500 tax credit to buy a product what does that tell you about it?
If he were smart Elon would be trying to sell Tesla. Toyota is getting ready to come out with a hydrogen driven vehicle. Actually multiple vehicles and also generators for your house, car or business.
The majority of Americans didnt want ev.
I love my old gas buggy...there are 6 gas stations in Town and it takes me less than 5 minutes to fill'r up.
Wanna bet the prices drop $7500 after our tax dollars stop subsidizing the,?
I thought Tesla had already run out of the EV discounts.
Hey, my afternoon is free. Maybe......nah!
When government subsidizes something it disrupts the market. That applies to the car market as well as a collage education. Taking away the subsidy will cause some combination of reduced demand and a lower price.
You can see the impact of the subsidy on the larger depreciation of electric vehicles. If you remove the subsidy from the original price, the amount of depreciation is reduced.
I wouldn’t even pay $7500 for a new EV.
Did the manufacturer of the first refrigerator have to bribe buyers?
People know a good thing when they see it.
Getting old is funny (what, like a clown?).
I read the headline as “Electric Deportations”, and had the vision of self-driving Teslas taking their charges south, only unlocking at the country of origin.
So, they aren’t worth the price? That’s too bad.
My Democrat brother-in-law who has triple the monthly income that I have has bought an electric electric BMW and a couple of electric Volvos. My question is why is the government giving him $7,500 to buy something that I cannot afford if I wanted it? I estimate that the government his subsidized his luxury car buying to the tune of about $20,000.
There is a great deal of irony when you think about the fact that Democrats are constantly whining that the evil rich get the tax breaks. And yet only the people with more money can afford to buy electric vehicles and get the free money.
I’m not sure I would take an electric car was given to me
