So is the EV market crashing or thriving? Can someone get these dipshit journo’s on the same page? These publications have been changing direction like a windsock.
I get the sense this might be correct. I see so many EV’s now on the street and parked in Costco and Sams Club parking lots.
I wish Costco wasn’t so egregiously early in their EV charging roll out. If they unrolled it today I’m sure they’d see great utilization. I’d love to charge there now that the cheap gas is irrelevant to me.
Well if we do, I’m happy to have done my (0.0001%) part!
It’s a short article, but it does nicely sum up a couple of points.
Sales are up and up, but what’s putting the hurt on car makers is the number of new models they’re launch into the market. Those sales are being sliced thinly, which means each model (or shared platform, even) is having difficulty racking up enough sales to get economies-of-scale and bring costs down. And if the models your company puts out aren’t attractive and don’t compete well against (let’s be honest) Tesla, then. . . Yeah. That’s a rough spot to be in.
I could only imagine if Tesla would have made the cybertruck something more normal. Whether the truck ends up being good or bad the style can turn off a lot of buyers that they may have potentially had. I think Tesla missed an opportunity for an even bigger blow to the legacy brands.
Seems plausible. Most of that will be Tesla, of course, but there are a lot of good alternatives showing up now.
