holy shit is this guy seriously comparing the model y to the ev9

google maps and chargehub

so the market changed overnight? funny how that works

found one

Tesla was moving their cars at high velocity and found the top price that keeps them moving

the top price which apparently came down 40% in less than a year? besides, this matters to the consumer how exactly?

Dealers aren’t doing that to EVs, they are radically overpricing.

back when i was fruitlessly trying to buy a mackey, every dealer i called said they have nothing on the lot because all allocations and abandoned customer orders were getting bought up immediately. and the lowest markup i found was $5k

At least Tesla got some money which they can, and did, put back into capital improvements for future models.

aside from the fact that this is is incredibly naive, it generalizes beautifully to other manufacturers, like gm announcing they’re doing a $10b stock buyback.

hold on let me pretend to be a r/electricvehicles commenter:

“hurr durr this is stoopid they need to mandate plugen charge it’s easier that way for everyone you just need to set up 35 accounts in 27 apps and you’ll be golden no fuss”

it is absolutely not polestar, I can tell you this much

right, because tesla charging $70k for a stripper model y was totally not the same thing at all

could be because abrp is garbage

well, ford told them they had to, among other things, hire and train competent and knowledgeable sales and service staff, and that’s just a bridge too far for your typical car dealer

huge hit like the yaris or the hyundai accent?

plot twist: it’s a used 2016 e-golf

please stop recommending plugshare, it is now owned by evgo and is no longer a reliable third-party source of charger data. see threads about ea stations disappearing from there, for example.

this has nothing to do with what i was saying here

people really don’t seem to understand that the value of longer-range cars isn’t necessarily that you can drive longer between charging stops, it’s that more available range gives you much of the freedom and flexibility of a gas car where you can, for example, take a detour to see some attraction 30 miles out of your way, or simply get in the car and go somewhere without worrying about whether you’re gonna have to stress over finding a plug or having to waste time stopping to charge.

inb4 “all we need is more chargers and faster-charging cars” sure but evs will still be a compromise for probably a decade, maybe longer. yes, having a gas station in your garage is nice, fine, but longer trips are still gonna be shit compared to the carefree driving a gas car provides in comparison.

i don’t care about the rear window situation one way or another, but the back of this car is ugly as shit

how come they don’t have the hubcaps

how come they’re not pulled by a tesla semi

best joke i’ve seen on here about it was “i’ll reserve my judgement until it finishes rendering”
