If you knew this would be the reaction, then you wanted the reaction.
well to be fair, you're using your definition.
Nice touch of racism/white superiority there kinked. I think I'm going to share that in your peer group circle.
It's now officially 83 point something according to the government. What should concern everyone is that a little over 16% of the population are at or below that level.
Yes, the manufacturers are pivoting. The privately owned dealerships will be in trouble.
I appreciate your ownership.
Why, if you don't know them, that's not my problem.
You don't even have to lure this dipshit......lol He's proud of it. I'm surprised he wasn't at the capitol.Closet Boomer racists, like kiucked_a_lot, are sooooo easy to lure out into the open…
You can just delete posts btw, you don't need to have a minimum letter count anymore.
I'm not the one running around Lit deleting my posts. *chuckles*Ahh… you were just talking out of your ass again.
I don't care, but you obviously do, otherwise why delete them? Damn you're just the self own gift that keeps on giving!!
American EV technology is at this point in time very poor. Barra recognized this when she cancelled the Blazer. Chinese and Tesla EV technology is far superior, mainly because they have better, safer, batteries, aimed squarely at the urban rather than long distance market. CATL and BYD provide 37% and 17% of the worlds EV batteries (55%) GM's battery contract with LG has just been cancelled and Ford's talks with BYD have run into political headwinds. GM have similar problems but given the US auto industry's extraordinary success lobbying for taxpayers money I would not write them off. Given decent batteries the US EV industry could take off very rapidly.
In the short term probably they'll have to sell off ICE inventory to have room and capital for EVs. I don't see any reason the manufactures wouldn't supply the, EVs the big 5 don't who sells their product just as long as it sells.. Come to think about it selling off ICE vehicles won't be a problem.. We are only having this discussion because gas and ICE vehicles are more cost effective than EVs. Once EV's become more cost effective than ICE the ICE will go the way of the Dodo..
initially, they agreed there was a problem and accepted regulatory constraints, but like today when the government uses environmental fairy tales to increase government control over all aspects of human life, free people in and out of business vigorously oppose them politically and economically.
Hi, vetteman.
It's funny how in the USA, ICE vehicle sales are on the rise, as the price of gas is falling. Where in Europe EV sales rose by 37%. Why? The price of fuel. Unfortunately the price of gas will rise, and then ICE sales will drop.
Of course. Gas prices are part of TCO and TCO is one of several reasons Americans still prefer ICE vehicles. I’ve shared several news articles in this thread that explain the various reasons why EV sales growth is slowing in the US.
The last I read the TCO break even point with EV's is ten years of ownership............assuming you don't have to replace the battery pack.
There’s lots to like about EVs. Acceleration is a biggie for me. If TCO, range, refueling/recharging time, and accessibility to gas stations/recharging stations were equal, I’d have no hesitation about getting one when I need a new vehicle (motorcycles excluded. EV technology can never replace the rumble and soul of a V-twin engine).
Where they make sense they're a good choice. My son bought his wife a Tesla 3 and they both love it.............BUT...........it's used as a local commuter and he installed a charger at his home. After he finished extolling its virtues I asked him, "Well, are you going to drive it over here your next trip?" The distance is a little over 400 miles. His reply, "No way."
