  • Tesla, time running out?

    To be honest the biggest thing Tesla has running against it is its own success (sort of).
    What's happened is the dam has burst, people WANT Ev's now & not the normal tree hugging types but the udder miidleclass types whom feel the need to go to the local shop driving 2 tons of SUV.

    Sadly for Tesla a CRASH in the Ecom & the field is no longer theirs as VW/Porsche/Audi/Merc/BMW & FORD even are here or almost here with their EV's.

    Given to CRAP build Q of Tesla's cars & the fact that model 3 sales have stolen sales from more expensive in house model (less profit) I think the next 2 years are going to be troublesome for Elon.

    People used to well built cars & service will not put up with this crap.

                        Bingo! Now you have it Mike.

                        In order to make money they need to charge so much most people can't afford them.
                        So some governments offer a subsidy to encourage people to buy them.
                        But the subsidies end up mostly taking taxes from the working class and giving the money to people almost well off enough to afford an EV in the first place.
                        So the governments cut the subsidies.
                        And EV sales immediately tank.
                        Because most people can't afford them.

                        With governments now running massive deficits, incomes being compressed or disappearing entirely, petrol prices low and the very important manufacturing job-heavy conventional auto sector under huge stress in every western country, EVs that sell for a premium over their RICE-powered equivalents may have a challenging time.

                        No country is going to welcome cheaper Chinese made EVs that wipe out their indigenous auto manufacturing and auto parts sectors.
