🔴 Will Tesla be the only survivor after the growing EV crisis?🤔 🏆The Real Reason EV Sales Are Falling WATCH HERE 👉kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKyOpo9yhrfdqKQ.html

I wanted a EV, until I rented one while on vacation. Charging is such a pain. I waited many times for 45 min to get a spot to charge and then another 45 minutes to actually charge. I don’t have the patience to waste hours doing that.

can't imagine why anyone would buy an EV, especially a Tesla. you can't get spare parts for it, and only Tesla can do repair and maintenance on it. then you have long wait times to get on a charger, before you wait again for the charger to actually charge up your car. EV batteries wear out with time and hold less and less of a charge, so then you have to charge the EV more frequently and waste even more time. EV's have no pulling power and cannot tow without losing a huge amount of their charge in a short amount of time. you could go on all day about the disadvantages of EV's.

The best thing about EV's is that they identify idiots.

Replacing a fleet of gas cars with a fleet of electric cars is costly. But replacing a fleet of electric cars with a new fleet is less costly, due to recycling.

How? Its simple. Just improve electricity grid. Generate more electricity by funding utility projects. This is a solved problem, just look at any developed nation. Electricity isn't like water where it's hard to come by in some places (deserts). Electricity can be generated anywhere on Earth, it's just a matter of investing in generators. Be it importing gas, making dams, or putting up solar panels. An EV is cheaper to operate than a gas car. On the national level, any money saved by not having to produce or import gas can be instead used to generate electricity that will be more efficiently used by the new cars. Even if you still import the same amount of oil and gas, just using that gas in an electric power plant instead of a car should be net-positive. Of course, all of this is easier said than done. It still takes time and planning to achieve all of this. Often bureaucracy gets in the way and slows the transition, making it easier to just keep things the way they are (even if that way is shitty). Such is life, and I hope your country can fix its electricity problems sooner rather than later.

One contributing factor must be that the market is becoming saturated with those who can obtain an EV. Many have not bought one simply because, they are unaffordable, they do not have access to home charging, they need much greater range, and fears about their long term reliability. And that is not to mention people prefer ICE cars.

@Pehz63

Ай бұрын

Tesla Model 3 and Y can be bought for below the average new car purchase price. Tesla has the lowest cost of ownership (according to Consumer Reports). Affordability is mostly an awareness issue. Range is an awareness issue. EVs don't need more range, that's not stopping people from having practical use of EVs. Most people never go anywhere that doesn't have an electric charger nearby. The few that do on rare occasion could rent a car for their vacations with the money they save by driving an EV. Many people think otherwise, but again this is simply an issue of awareness. Rationally speaking, these problems are solved. Access to home charging is a serious obstacle to EV adoption. If you can't charge overnight, you lose many of the advantages of an EV. This is why it's so important for housing planners to accommodate EV charging. This can largely be solved, it will just take time to implement. Things like curbside charging, parking lot charging, allowing residents to install a charger, etc will make this problem less of an obstacle for EV adoption. But yeah, for now it is significant for some people. With that said, overall I don't believe it's nearly saturated. The lack of demand is just that many people believe outdated lies about EVs that are perpetuated by gas companies and luddites. All kinds of media perpetuates the lies too because they are sensational. It generates clicks to be scared of EV fires or be mad at car companies that make mistakes in their EVs. It's old news when gas cars have problems.

Their only real electric competition is BYD and electric trucks. Everyone else is operating at such a massive loss that their competitiveness is superficial. That's why GM and many others announced pulling back on EV production. It probably won't take long before Cybertruck sells for a profit. Unless Rivian can keep up and start selling for a profit, they will have to increase prices to the point of no longer being a competitor. You are basically making the same, uneducated and idiotic claim that short sellers have been making since 2012. "The competition is coming and Tesla will start to fall this or next year". When in reality sales numbers are simply a factor of production. If production falls, then yeah sales will fall. But Tesla just refreshed the Model 3, so production should return to previous rates which is why their Q1 earnings call they mentioned they will grow production in 2024 (albeit slower than previous yearly growths).

The Idea behind EV is a very Smart and "Noble" one. I've worked with EV's for some years,and it was an Great Experience until EV's did start to pick up. The Only problem ( Massive one) is the lack of Infrastructure for the ammount EV's already in circulation,and for the Absolutely Surreal 2030 proposal.

C) the Robotaxi has long-been planned to be the same platform as the cheaper model. What you are basically saying is "you are making a mistake by not making Mac and cheese and instead making cheesy macaroni". If you look at Tesla's history and the release timeline of their models, they have been making a new platform every 5-6 years that is significantly more affordable and mass-market than the last. Roadster in 2007, Model S/X in 2012/2015, Model 3/Y in 2017/2020, then Robotaxi/"Model 2" in 2024-2027. Has this strategy ever been a mistake in the past?

@@JoeOvercoat Just like a baby couldn't survive without handouts from its mother and father, neither can a startup manufacturing company survive without "handouts" from investors, government, etc. So your point about bankruptcy is not profound or insightful, it's a truism. Tesla has been profitable every year since 2020, even if you remove the regulatory credits that they sold to other companies (thus came not from taxpayer pockets, but greedy polluting car manufacturers' pockets). In 2020, only 5% of Tesla's revenue was from regulatory credits, or 24% of their profit. Now in 2024, less than 2% of their PROFIT is from regulatory credits. Your point about Tesla being financially held up by the government has been completely irrelevant for almost 5 years now. No expert believes Tesla is likely to struggle financially or go bankrupt in any amount of time, hence why its stock price is extremely high relative to its current revenue. "Musk knew that a Tesla low cost vehicle was never going to sell, certainly not up against BYD, because they were never going to hit the price point." This just doesn't make any sense. Would you also say "Koji Sato knew that a Toyota low cost vehicle (Corolla) was never going to sell, certainly not up against a Mirage, because they were never going to hit the price point."? You do realize, Tesla's Model Y is the best selling vehicle in the world, right? And the Model Y is a large vehicle with lots of luxury features you could remove to reduce its cost. Anyone with any sense knows that Tesla could at the very least decontent a Model 3/Y, make it smaller, make it less powerful, and sell it for a lot cheaper. Just like any other manufacturer (of any kind) can do. And in the case of Tesla, their current models are median price for new cars. Meaning half of new car buyers are buying lower-end vehicles, meaning there is a massive market for it. This claim isn't political or debatable, it's just basic logical thinking. "Tesla has never built a car remotely close to the price point that they claimed they would sell it for when they introduced the vehicle." Except for the Model S, Model 3, and Model Y. The Model S and 3 both start at 85% of their unveiled price accounting for inflation. The Y starts at 94%. The Model X didn't have a price listed at its unveil event, so it doesn't count. The Cybertruck is still in early production so there are many markups to the price. But I wouldn't be surprised if the Cybertruck always stays higher-end than they originally intended ($40k for a pickup was unreasonably cheap at the time). I didn't bother to look into the Roadster because that's no longer being sold. But 3/4 models have already reached their unveil price if you account for inflation. So I disagree with your claim. "He had to pivot to the robotaxi to keep the grift flowing." This just seems uneducated. Originally Tesla planned on making a low-cost next-gen vehicle (commonly referred to as "Model 2"). While most of the executives wanted to make this vehicle, Elon didn't. He instead wanted to make a Robotaxi which had no steering wheel or pedals. Those below him were only able to convince him to go through with a Model 2 after proposing they both be on the same platform, with the main difference being the steering wheel. Clearly Tesla executives internally fully believe they can make a profitable Model 2. They didn't "have to" do anything, they made a strategic decision to prioritize the Robotaxi. And it wasn't to "keep the grift flowing", because that would be a lot of money to invest into hardware that, if it were truly just a "grift" would be useless in the case that FSD is wrong. This is why the other executives didn't want to go through with the Robotaxi but Musk does. He believes more in FSD than they seem to. Even Musk knows that Robotaxi success depends on FSD. As in, if FSD is just a grift, then they are making a big mistake.

Plus, many Tesla households are wealthy and own a gasoline SUV - a reason they don't rant about common EV complaints. But, the Tesla market share isnt growing.

"Tesla market share isn't growing" sounds like a lie. What market share specifically? EV market share? Because that's good news, since it means EVs are growing faster than just Tesla, while gas cars are shrinking. EVs went from basically 0% to 14% of global passenger car market share from 2010 to 2022. No signs of stopping. As for competition within the EV market, Tesla owners buy new Teslas because that's what all new car owners do. People who buy cars new tend to be richer, and can afford to replace their car more often. People who buy used tend to be poorer and wait for their car to have a major issue before replacing it. More Teslas are sold new than used, because production is growing. Also, EVs in general are improving a lot faster every year than gas cars. Hybrids are somewhere in the middle. So a 3-year old EV has the performance and quality equivalent of a 6-10 year old gas car (speaking loosely). Kinda like how people will replace their phone more often than their toaster or computer.

A very important thing when comparing Tesla to its competitors is price. And not just the price the car is sold at, but the price that the car is produced at. The cheaper a car is to produce, the cheaper it can be sold at for a profit. If you can't make a profit, you can't sustain your business and have to raise sale prices or go out of business. Tesla and BYD are basically the only EV companies making profit. So until BYD comes to America or Rivian becomes profitable, Tesla only has superficial competition in EVs.

Lots of issues with the *"**#CyberTruck**"* . At the moment, they are selling the cyber truck without FSD. Although you do pay for it now. ( Something, that's supposed to come later.) The BiG lie about the Range capabilities. But soon you will be able to buy a Range extender, that takes up a third of the bed for only *Twelve Grand* . The hubcap cuts into the tire. So there's been a recall . And So for now Tesla is selling the CT without the hubcaps at the moment . They have the accelerator pedal problem, ATM. You'd better check out the weather forecast before you take your *"**#CyberTruck**"* out for a ride. You don't want to be caught in the rain 💧❕️ No door Latches, so you have to leave a lot of Fingerprints on the stainless steel. It sucks in the snow. There are 3 videos out , showing #ICE vehicle helping out the #CT, in snowy Conditions. ( Probably only needs snow tires) Personally I don't mind the looks of The #CT either or way, but a lot of people really hate the look of it, while there are other PPL that LO❤E the #CT style.

Really small violin plays in the background .

It is a tough market for auto and will recover as Fed lower rates, and in China it will improve as most competitors go bankrupt. The cybertruck recall is a simple fix that takes a few minutes. A silly design mistake, but a minor one. The 10% of workforce reduction is bullish for Tesla earnings and Tesla does this every couple years. I see you don't even bother listening to Tesla Q1 earnings call. That Reuters report was a total lie (as they often tell lies about Tesla). Tesla said the Model 2 timeline was being moved forward and would be late 2024 or early 2025. That 33% of BYD marketshare includes EV and hybrid. Of pure EVs, BYD outsold Tesla in Q4 2023 but in Q1 Tesla outsold BYD in EVs. Margins and profits are expected to improve for Tesla in the second half of this year as FSD expands to China and energy is expected to grow 75% over last year.

There are cracks in the EV kingdom, plus there’s the star ship fiasco, the starlink fiasco, wasted time and money on that hyperloop, the twitter disaster, and on it goes. Basically anything Musk dreams up crashes for lack of thorough foresight, but perhaps none of this was ever meant to succeed for him to make money. With every business it is the same issue - hype, hype, hype (mostly building on other people’s ideas or on old ideas), drive that stock up, sell off his own stock while it is still ridiculously high, and then let the company die (not with a bang but a whimper). It is quite a scam, however now everyone knows his routine, so what’s next Elon? Then again, he has enough money that it’s not important if he ever makes another penny for the rest of his life.

If the regulatory credits income was less, then Tesla's R&D spending would be less, so don't you think it is kind of other car manufacturers who don't want to make EVs or who can't make them at scale for a profit, to give Tesla the money to build and develop more factories.

Most people are under the impression that Elon Musk is a genus an innovator a visionary. Calling him any of these things is like calling John Wane a real American hero or Rock Hudson a heterosexual. He's more of an investor. A promoter. A con man. You may not know it but he didn't start the company or help develop the first cars. He just promoted the cars image along with his own. If you truly believe in all things Musk buy an EV. Every car sold is another driver off our crowded roadway.

Surprise the cyber refrigerator is not selling well ffs it’s an ugly pos!

These people still haven't learned that they killed their chance to prosper greatly when they decided to prioritize range and tout their vehicles as replacements for ICE vehicles. They are nothing of the kind. The only smart use for electric transportation is recreational and other short range vehicles such as commuter cars with one or two seats. Greed is a killer. Everyone could have seen the true salvation if these people didn't make cars like the Fiat 500e and Nissan Leaf seem like they were sub-par because they couldn't travel over 230 miles on a single charge. They were designed to do exactly what people are buying them for as used cars. They get people to and from work without needing to charge at a public charger. Life would be so much better if technology adopter had as much intelligence as they like for us to think that they do. Elon Musk excepted. He knew that his marketing of long-range EVs and in-house production was going to make all other American companies struggle and fail. Being on top was all but granted from the onset but one advantage goes to BYD. They are from a culture and in a location that stacks the deck in their favor. Elon is an innovator but he lacks wisdom. He will bring his empire to its knees if he doesn't publicly denounce the viability of long-range EVs and convince the general population that he should have taken inspiration from the commuter cars that he sought to eliminate. Thankfully, the 500e is coming back to the US and some of us know how great it is on the surface. Hopefully they dealt with some of their overly complicated flaws such a license plate light wiring and weak window motors. Heck! Just put handles on the windows. What's so hard about that?

And this hasn't even touched on what do you do with your clapped-out Tesla ten years from now? You going to buy it? The eco-friendly madness has revealed it's true colours, it is an ecological disaster that just hasn't happened yet. Even after second use applications those batteries still have to be disposed of. Hucksterism at its best.

Tesla will financially implode. RIP.

We'll see. The current problems may be largely due to interest rates only. If EVs prove the better mode of mobility with the super efficient electric motor and no tailpipe solution, as battery tech will surely continue to improve in capacity, charge speed, and safety, all the EV deniers here will be eating massive amounts of grilled crow. The ramp of EVs is proof enough of the inevitability as early adopters give way with later converts acceptance of improved lower cost models under lower interest rates. You will be assimilated.

Poor quality can cause the feature to be bad, if that makes sense. But things like panel gaps and welds don't matter to me if they don't have a negative impact on features. Thin pain can be a problem if it means rusting problems in the future. Are there any empirical analyses of these things, or is it the car brand equivalent of picking a favorite sports team and cherry picking when the other teams have failed? Like, you can find plenty of examples where Toyotas have similar issues. Also, isn't it wildly immature to say "I will never buy from X company because right now they have this minor issue sometimes"? Many great companies today previously had a reputation of poor build quality (Hyundai, Kia). It's something that can be fixed, just takes effort. Why don't you believe Tesla will change in 10, 30, or 50 years? Or are you just lying to double down on your tribalism?

Who doesn't want an automobile purchased from Harbor Freight? Rapidly changing EV technology means that EV manufacturers might be reluctant to support older EVs, which means they will become interim orphan tech. The Toyota Prius faced resistance in the early years when the unfamiliarity with the hybrid technology caused many to wait, wait, wait. Even today, many Prius owners look under the hood of their hybrid and other than the gasoline engine, recognize few components or can not describe what the parts do. But, we trust that it's good. EVs are not at that point. Can Tesla wait 15 years? If so, I think they will gain the confidence of consumers, but the 900-pound battery needs to become much smaller. I want EVs to succeed. I think the internal analysts at Tesla are hoping that FSD and the Robotaxi can generate revenue to tide them over, especially if Trump is elected as he will relax the federal EV mandates.

Sure people still use desktop computers for work, but that's because it's a different use case. Increasingly though, people are using their phones for conference calls or finding information.

Or is this NCAP score a scam, and people will stop buying EVs once the scam is revealed and people realize Chinese cars are unsafe? Chinese cars are notoriously the cheapest EVs you can find.

But if that happens, then the real reason Chinese car sales will evaporate is because of tariffs, not because of the other made up reasons you listed. And to refute your suggestion that Chinese EVs catch fire, they reportedly catch fire at a rate ~1/3rd that of other EVs. So unless you're gonna spout some conspiracy theory about false data, or unless you think hybrids and gas cars (140 and 60 times more likely to catch fire than EVs as of December 2023) are both gonna have their sales evaporate much faster than Chinese EVs, all of your conclusions are completely ignorant to all of the empirical evidence.
