I've always seen a few Prius around for over the years. I did see a Lucid the other day on the highway.

0 of 25 in my work parking lot. Toyota, Chevy, Ford, Mazda, Hyundai, BMW, Jeep, etc. 😅 I've never seen an EV in the industrial park I work in (a few hundred ICE).

TSLA had a great day today. Up over 12%

I would imagine the argument for making money on Robotaxi will be licensing/software deals. I don't see it ever being more than 10% of revenue. Regulations/lawsuits will delay the implementation for years to come.

The problem with Tesla's new low cost vehicle that may or may not happen is competition. Unlike the original Teslas with almost no rivals when they were introduced, a new cheap Tesla will be competing with several other makes and models.

Tesla is up 10% this morning. Is it a dead cat bounce or something real? It opened at 162, let's see where it is at the close.

:ROFLMAO: 😅:LOL:

I'm left everything. My mother is left handed and my father's mother should have been left handed. I remember her telling me that her teacher tied her left hand behind her back to force her to write right handed. I tried the finger test and it's very obvious which eye is dominant.

I agree, but, the "experts" in the US government making the rules may not have considered how innovative manufacturers can be when trying to evade mileage requirements. They will move the goal posts to fit their agenda after the fact.

This has to be mostly driven by CAFE standards. If a person is able to plug in their truck, partially maintain the battery with the gas engine and manage 690 miles on a charge/fill then they can claim some high MPG I guess. I wonder how big the gas tank is to get this many miles. Let's say it's...

What the heck? So is this going to be like a diesel locomotive only powered by gasoline? What kind of mileage could that possibly get? I'm confused :unsure:

Tesla will report on Tuesday. Maybe we'll know more about the company's health after Elon talks. I think he may be getting bored, little cheap cars are probably not his thing. US EV sales reached 1,119,251 in 2023, up from 760,329 in 2022, 462,247 in 2021, 245,586 in 2020, and 230,761 in 2019...

Since you're making predictions, what percentage of the US car sales will be EV in 2025?

Who deleted your Stellantis post? I was about to reply to it. They are paying an over 6% dividend and the stock is up 11% YTD compared to TSLA which is off 40% YTD and pay no dividend.

150.16, put in a new 52 week low today of 148.70. Does not bode well for TSLA.

We just updated 3 Xbox consoles overnight, 15 gig each with no problems. We love Starlink even at $120 per month.

I have to admit, I actually saw a Tesla on my 35-mile trek to work this morning. That is the first time ever! I have seen one or two on the way home before but never on the way in! They sure are becoming popular in our area now! Go T!

Are you saying the stock price, a reflection of the value of the company, especially since they don't pay dividends, is going to be depressed for the next 5 years?!?

Actually, that isn't the same information I previously provided. It's brand NEW! :ROFLMAO:

TSLA is off almost 37% YTD. The last time it was this low (150's) was April 2023. Prior to that the low was January 2023, all the way down to 103. It will be interesting to see if it can hold 150 until earnings next week. If it dips below that, look out 103.

Because I've read the same post from him with the same information over and over and over again, so much so that I can quote it in my sleep. Basically, the definition of ad nauseam. I think my comment was completely appropriate.

Ad nauseam 🤮

A good friend put a CJ on its side on the interstate at about 70mph. Somehow it slid to a stop on the shoulder and both of my friends walked away with minor scratches. Larger than stock tires probably contributed to the incident along with inattentive driving.

What percentage of Tesla revenue comes from things other than car sales? I'm guessing it's about 16% including carbon offsets. That's kind of like saying Ford is not just a car company. They are a financing company because they make money off of loans.

I wouldn't buy before the next earnings announcement. What makes the company worth 10 times as much as Ford and GM? It's all speculation and could come tumbling down any time. In a few short months Tesla may be worth 1/2 what it is now. I'm thinking a stock buy back may be coming.

There are some big names leaving Tesla, I have to wonder if Baglino and Patel were asked to leave or they see the writing on the wall and decided to get out before earnings were announced. Andrew Baglino, Tesla’s senior vice president for energy engineering and powertrain, has been with the...

No Sir, I'm hoping that the stock price will reflect the actual value of the company. I like Gale's lower end of his estimate, $100. That will represent about a 67% haircut from the recent high about 9 months ago.

Sorry, thought they were talking Bronco Sport, 28 highway

Not sure about the $20/month @ 1.5 mile increase. Average 30 mpg for 1200 miles, $3.50/gal. = 40 gal. x $3.50 = $140 Average 31.5 mpg for 1200 miles, 3.50/gal. = 38 gal. X $3.50 = $133 Saving $7/month Your mileage may vary.

When they say they only got 220 miles on the long range, I'm not sure what they mean. I didn't follow their link. https://www.caranddriver.com/tesla/model-y

Start Stop is a result of ever tightening CAFE standards. Manufacturers are desperate to meet those and will do any silly thing possible to meet them, even if it only saves a fraction of a mpg.

Do you trust Car and Driver reviews? This is about the 2024 Model Y. The Tesla also suffers from below-average fit and finish, which is less common on similar products from companies such as Hyundai and Nissan. The Long Range model that we tested over our 200-mile highway fuel-economy test...

I agree this is probably a very dangerous time for FSD. People WILL be complacent and over confident in these systems. Like I stated before, I have no interest in FSD until I can sleep while it drives me and I am absolved of any responsibility for accidents. Short of that, I'm sure I would be...

I'm not sure what you mean by living in the past, I guess I'm not enlightened. If I don't own a microwave but have a Tesla with FSD, am I living in the past, present, or future?

I love it, I can get well over 40 mpg on rural roads, my best is around 50 mpg. I rarely drive in traffic but actually prefer it when I do. I can get off the line better, it will actually bark the tires if you want it to.

Mine is a manual transmission btw. I traveled about 200 miles to get it, they're hard to find.

I've considered it but don't want to put 80 miles per day on a new EV five days per week. My electric rates just went up in January by about 40% and my insurance would probably double also. I don't have a garage for our cars due to trying to avoid property taxes. All things considered, I...

Obviously you haven't been paying attention

The thing I find odd is that a company would subtract money off your so called cost because you should save money on gas based on the average usage. If I buy a Prius, does Toyota subtract money off my cost because it's more miserly than the average car?

That is weird to me. I guess Tesla is unique in the automotive industry in that regard. Do other companies do anything similar?

Nope, we're in good standing I believe.

Can you reference where you found that gas savings are included in the prices quoted?

They'll make it, they already have, but I still think the company is way overvalued at $300/share. In the next few years there will be a lot of good EV options. On the other hand, if a different administration takes over, that will slow the EV train down considerably.

I put New York City to Seatle Wa. into the "go anywhere" Tesla app and it's quite eye opening. That was without a trailer. Some of the recommended charge times were 70 minutes, others were 60 or 40 minutes. I think it added about 14 hours to the trip. Granted, at least one of those charge...

Yes, if we went new we would have had to buy something we didn't like. Inventory was very low on everything and prices were ridiculous.

It will hurt all new cars sales equally IMO. A new car buyer may opt for a cheaper option or just keep their old car. If a buyer wasn't looking at EVs prior to finding out they were upside down I don't think that would push them in that direction. When my wife was T-boned and her car was...

I do I do understand it but it seems impossible for you to say anything negative about anything Tesla does.

I'm surprised to hear so many bad things about the previous version of FSD. I thought you loved it and no complaints at all. I personally have no desire to have FSD in any form unless I can sleep while traveling. Let me know when that's available.

Does that mean if an EV is rated at 300 mpg now, the government will reduce that rating gradually by 65% through 2030 and thus reduce the mpg rating of the entire fleet of each of the "big 3" since they are making some EVs to offset the mpg of their ICE vehicles?

What I need explained is this: The original proposal would have lowered "petroleum-equivalent fuel economy" ratings for electric vehicles by 72% in 2027. The final rules will instead gradually cut the EV mileage ratings through 2030 by 65%, giving automakers more time to adjust.

From what I've read the administration backed off somewhat on their push toward EV adoption. The (big 3) share prices are all up today on the news. I'm not going to pretend to understand it.

Yep, that's one argument, I don't accept it. Are houses and apartments required to have an AM radio? It's just more government overreach.

That's interesting, just changed oil in 2018 Mazda3 with 70k miles and no oil usage after 5,000 miles. I've used generic full synthetic since I bought it with 20k on it. Paid $15k in 2020 I think.

Our Ford Edge Continental factory tires had foam inside. It came loose at about 20k miles and they couldn't be balanced after that. I suppose they could have been dismounted, glued and balanced but we just replaced them.

Can't a regular tire shop fix a Tesla tire?

No competition? I assume you are excluding Chinese companies when you make that statement.

Do you remember the Tesla planned route I posted several days ago? That was an extreme example but hardly unique. Yesterday I was driving to work at 6am and my low fuel light came on. I had worked the previous Friday and hadn't checked the fuel so I only had about 35 miles of range left. I...

How do grass clippings rob nitrogen? This is what I've read. Fresh grass clippings include about 4 percent nitrogen. This means that in any given year, grass clippings leftover from mowing the lawn can account for almost 2 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet of lawn. Can You Mix Grass...

I usually till our clay soil that's amended with cut grass 2 or 3 times before planting. Eventually the clods break down.

I have no "beef" with EV's. I'm following EV's closely because I also follow automotive stocks in general. What makes you think I have a "beef" with EV's. I have posted positive things about EV companies when they are performing well, it just so happens that they aren't performing well right...

I corrected my post, it's not off 40% from Christmas 2023, more like 30%.

Off of the close Friday, now it's off 7.39% from Friday's close. TSLA shares have dropped about 30% since Christmas 2023. Hope Santa didn't bring you any. :ROFLMAO: Edit, corrected %

Gosh, I wish I would have followed up on this thread and explained how I fixed it. I think I replaced the solenoid but I can't swear to it as my memory is very foggy on this after almost 12 years. I checked my email for a Messicks receipt and didn't find one. The problem may have fixed itself...

Over 50% of solar installs in California include batteries? That's impressive if true. Can you provide a link as evidence?

The list is supposed to be inflation adjusted.

I predict that the number of people storing energy that they produce will be infinitesimally small for the foreseeable future.

So, mandates don't exist as long as your free will agrees with them. That's what I got out of the above post...

It's obvious to me that you are both arguing two different points. The argument needs to be defined clearly or it will go on forever.

BTT, When is an EV motor most efficient?

You're right, Feb. 20, 2020 to March 20,2020, I'd still consider that a crash.

What do you consider a market crash? If the DOW went from 29,000 down to 19,000 in one day, would that be considered a crash? That happened March 20, 2020.

The one and only new car I've ever purchased was $12,500 in 2008.

Folks still have a land line, same number for over 50 years. I "fixed" their answering machine/wireless phones yesterday. I purchased a pair of phones/answering machine for Christmas last year and didn't have time to set them up. Yesterday I visited them for the first time since Christmas. The...

Wow, will this become a trend?

You have to admit you can only lose money for so long before it dries up. I'd say Rivian is up against it and most investors are starting to agree with me from the looks of it.

Count me as seeing it as an unnecessary feature. I'm pretty good at not clicking.

If you think Ford loses a lot of money per EV, consider this, Rivian is losing $43,372 per vehicle, and that's all they sell! I don't know if they're going to make it...

Rivian stock RIVN is off over 26% after the announcement of a 10% layoff of salaried employees. Shares have lost over 90% of their value since IPO. OUCH!

My significant other puts me on ignore sometimes. :)

Our phones are back up in East Central Illinois. Reports say 75% of customers are restored.

It's mainly AT&T and associated carriers. Verizon has some outages nowhere near as many as AT&T. Downdetector peaked at over 74,000 reported outages for AT&T. https://downdetector.com/status/att/ https://downdetector.com/status/cricket-wireless/ https://downdetector.com/status/verizon/

Pretty big news, is anyone else experiencing a cell phone outage? We're out, AT&T towers, Cricket. I'm seeing news stories that Verizon and AT&T are out.

France isn't going to war, they're making weapons for Ukraine. I never heard of the pasta wars, wouldn't that be Italy? I wonder if they're making EV tanks :unsure:

I thought they all came with CVT, what year?

Are we talking fuel efficiency? If so, please consider gear ratio and drag. My car gets the best mileage at about 40 mph in 6th gear probably around 1800 rpm. That's nowhere near peak torque or hp.

I cuss my wife's 2019 Ford Edge software quite a bit. My biggest complaint is having to go to the home screen to turn off the heated steering wheel instead of the climate control page and the fact that there isn't a physical button to turn it off. Other annoyances include having to tell it NO...

:ROFLMAO: you love to project don't you...

Why are you posting about ICE vehicles on a EV/Elon thread?

But you want all ICE manufacturers to go bankrupt don't you? Why are you so negative? ;) :cautious:

I will parrot what another poster likes to claim when I post anything negative about a certain EV company. You just want GM to go bankrupt don't you!?!

Close, Bronco Sport though.

I predict the VW Scout division will be history within 10 years if not sooner.

My best mpg in my Mazda 3 manual is about 50 mpg. That's with a tail wind doing about 40mph on my 35 mile drive home from work. My best tank, hand calculated is about 46mpg. Low 40's are easy in the summer.
