Tesla's mission statement is over a decade old. Rather than pontificating, provide some examples of them not adhering to this statement.
I figured you'd get all offended and defensive, even though I didn't attack Tesla (or VW) in any way. Only one of us is attacking a car company here and it ain't me.
Tesla open it up to get billions from the federal government. I give them credit that they plan to allow greater access.
Tesla only uses NACS in N America. Everywhere else (China, Europe, Australia, etc..) they employ a different charger, so your EA hypothesis is wrong.
Fed $ is available to any auto maker or charging provider. Also, it remains to be seen how profitable Tesla's charging network will be. Personally, I don't think it moves the needle much. The supercharger network is more about maintaining brand loyalty. And now, by allowing in other EVs to charge, it becomes a form of advertising.
Good point. If Tesla is available for all brands overseas and is better than EA, clear answer.
Total grant program is 7.5 for all companies. Not necessarily all of it going to Tesla
I think of that parable often. Just about every time someone makes an aggressively stated prediction about the future.
Bunch of new models are being announced - Polestar 3 and Rivian R2 as well.
Yes, he was. Another immensely talented artist who went much too soon.
Those who bought recently must feel good about that. I think Tesla is doing the right thing and help solve the affordability issue. But we all said before that Tesla is overpriced given the level of finishes. It was mainly driven up by the fan club.
VW went well beyond lying. They engineered their cars to cheat emissions tests. I would call that evil.
Teslas are overpriced? Using the old or new prices, which competing EV offers a better value?
Forget it, they're rolling. 🤣
Old prices. When I bought my ID4, the model 3 was about 20% more.
You know which generation it was? The 992 3rs is indeed about 90% race car, 10% road car. The amount of downforce it generates is crazy for a road car. The 991 generation 3rs was closer to 50/50, much more reasonable for the road.
Yeah, they shafted their customers.
Tesla owners are angry about buying their vehicles right before the latest big price cuts—and are letting Elon Musk know: ‘I feel completely duped’
"Tesla never again," wrote one customer after buying a Model S Plaid right before this week's dramatic price cuts.www.yahoo.com
As expected
What in the world are you talking about. OEMs do this all the time - they just hide price changes by using rebates and dealer incentives. and on top of that the stealerships then tack on all the nonsense fees and "market" adjustments - I will take the Tesla transparent pricing model anyday.
