You guys have totally switched the discussion from mandated coverage of all parking lots to Factories choosing to install solar for their own use. Everyone knows solar has a payback of around 6 years depending on many local factors and is a good investment for a large user. Totally different...

I guess you like paying $5 to park when you go grocery shopping, the mall, restaurants ? This would be the end to free parking everywhere. Just another way for them to tax the hell out of the little guy. Who is paying for the $200K or more to cover a Walmart parking lot? Sounds great until...

Uber/Lyft has changed the game. Self driving cars will change again massively.

Okay then, what is your reasoning that explains the other manufacturers down between 20%-45%. Nissan may be worse than the others for that reason, but they are now projecting ICE vehicle sales overall for 2022 to be in the 13-14 million range. Don’t say Covid either, as this trend started way...

I like how he says there have been no advancements in batteries which is total BS. Cars driving 750 miles now on a single charge with a battery in the Model S standard pack. This is one of the big reasons I have been adamant that the top of the line 4 motor cybertruck, has to get 160 -180miles...

Not really clear on your point on this one. Tesla actually does not have a loan arm of the company. They just subcontract to other lenders. I didn’t even bother going through them and used my own credit union. Not sure this is not like buying anything else of substantial value. And yes, you...

Very good point. Already happened to Corvette owners when they switched engine manufacturers. The old one could not afford to stay in business anymore on used part sales only. Not only this, but there will basically be almost no new ICE car new designs from a platform standpoint. No one will...

Many are already in this sprial. Nissan Sales are down 50% since 2015. You are exactly right, but I have no idea how they can lower prices with minimal profit margins now. Most likely they will continue to cut jobs and manufacturing capacity as they use product scarcity to hold pricing up...

Wait till they see the economic impact, although not so sure used ICE car prices don’t plummet. Between new ICE cars being unavailable or simply much much more expensive due to all those fixed costs being spread out on half or less of the production volume. You could potentially lose 20K...

Really? I thought they said it will be illegal to sell new ICE cars after 2035, and that was not the US government, that was state governments. Did I miss something? Not being able to sell new ICE cars, and forcing people to scrap used ICE vehicles are two entirely different things.

It is amaxing the number of people who can not do basic math. Especially looking or creating a TCO model. When I tell people I bought a Tesla, they say must be nice to be rich, I respond that it must be nice to have so much extra money to waste on their gas car. Normally leads to an...

The Truth. Wait till the Cybertruck can connect to backup your house.

This is actually a huge safety improvement opportunity for Tesla and the human race. RVers are normally older drivers that don’t have great reaction times anyway. Increasing following distance and constantly sampling sensors is a huge safety improvement for this vehicle class. I would think...
