Seems like most if not all of the major legacy OEMs have done an ebrake 180 on their electric ambitions.
Yeah I've never paid more than $7,000 for a vehicle. If I have to make more than 1 payment, it's too expensive.
It's really weird how that didn't work....
You left out Mercedes backing off their E vehicles.
Truth be told, Tesla's truck with half a battery "ain't" cheap either. Ask Tesla to double the battery size and put an SUV body on the Cyber Truck and I'd fully expect $150K++ costs also.
Mercedes = 3 prong. Heard they were pulling a billion or so dollars out of their EV expansion ambitions.
Yeah it makes sense. You got to buy a vehicle with a 1,000 to 2,000lb battery that created tons of toxic byproducts and CO2 in it's wake to save the world. If you say anything to the contrary you're a bigot, racist, conspiracy theorist, trump supporter, ect.
Tesla still can't get their fit and finish right, plus they treat alot of customers who aren't influencers like dirt. If it wasn't for the cult like following they'd be gone. I worked for an independent dealership that purchased a 6 month old Model x back right after they came out. The door latch failed so it wouldn't go into drive ( goofy Tesla issues). Not sure now but Tesla said they'll tow free of charge to the closest service center. They used every excuse in the book to get out of paying.
And recently a couple of websites figured out that the weird "range extender" ie bed battery Tesla is charging alot per Kwh to add it. Then it takes up a third of the bed and adds another 1,000 pounds.
Wow. I heard it was expensive and took up a third of the bed. I didn't know it was another thousand pounds, with potentially a hundred or so pounds of world saving lithium hexafluoride.
Kia's 3-Row EV SUV starts in the low $50's.
Fleet use vehicles? Pretty much true. The highly optioned f150s are full of problems now. That's supposed to be their big achievement
Uhh really? If you did any digging GM is making a profit on their electric vehicles. Face it Tesla owners will put up with alot more than most customers will. From reading Tesla seems to be one of the few manufacturers that have unsold vehicles piling up on extra lots. They have a ton of vehicles sitting in an abandoned mall parking lot acting as an overflow lot. If Tesla is so smart as you claim why can't they figure out their production numbers to keep manufacturing and sales in line? Just asking.
