Nothing is touching tesla for a while. Been saying that. Car makers will catch up but tesla IS THE EV that works. Right now. With the network to back it up. I love my elonmobile.

Still better than the Tesla record of putting product in the hands of paying customers on time. The model s refresh was a fucking disaster, only rivaled by the model x. Then there is the vapor ware cybertruck, semi, and roadster. It’s almost a case study in fraud.

Yes, it's sad when a "Halo car" is made not for profits but for the Halo effect, and then it can't even be put into the hands of the public where the Halo effect actually causes positive momentum for a brand. Like, what the hell are their priorities? |

The serious question is will the market share be there in 2035? Right now EV's makeup only 6% of US new car sales(Tesla owns over 60% of that). Mary has invested GM's entire future on EV's and promises to be all electric by 2035. All these brands that have set hard transition dates and invested 100bills will be in trouble if they are decade off on adoption rate. They could all be left fighting for a small market share of new car buyers. All while Akio Toyoda is sitting laughing selling every new Prius they can sell. I am not against EV's in the slighest, we have a EV and a plugin hybrid in are household. But I get a feeling some of these brands setting hard EV transition dates could end up in trouble. Keep in mind GM is currently making record profits all while selling 90+% ice vehicles(they are just going to abandon that?).

Given that those in power today won't be in power 13 years from now, I don't see how it's wise to assume nothing will change in the next 13 years. betting on tomorrow based on what is true today is foolish given all the unanswered questions and un-invented solutions that are key to getting us there. Diversification is usually the best long term strategy. This applies to more than just retirement funds. |

Sure some light duty company fleets may convert to EV but the majority will still be mall crawlers like the current gas market. They're likely seeing Ford's success with focusing their efforts on light trucks and wanting their share too.

Of course, the rural areas can't keep trucks on their lots over here either... EVs would fit the more urban duty jobs like the trades, short trips with or without towing. I think a larger issue would be converting that market from a V8 to a silent EV.

3WT - $72,905 4WT - $77,905 How exactly does GM plan a on making the 1WT trim at $39k. My guess they make handful of them initially and then raise 1WT trim at least $10k. |

And the EV hummer sold out instantly. And the ford lightning sold out instantly. 100k EV trucks.
Every tesla model went up in price, yet the model Y is the BEST SELLING EV to date. Yup things are getting better. People are spending more on something others think have no chance of existing in today's world. Holy fuck i love killing all these arguments. Car makers will catch up i'm sure. Give it time. Our 2030+ lifestyle with cars will be great!
