Tesla Is Sitting on a Record 50k Unsold EVs

I like the Ionic.
-
Which Japanese EV? I'm not aware of any good ones.
Korean ones? Best on the market. If you want the best for a reasonable price, Hyundai or Kia.
toyota has a couple (but I’m not sure if they are available in the US)

How did that happen? When I worked at the Fremont plant, we were only putting together vehicles that had already been sold. Did they swap from lean manufacturing to the normal, wasteful "just keep making shit perpetually" model?
They are cashing in production tax incentives and cooking the books. GM did the same thing 2008 before it all collapsed.
Elon was hoping everyone would just forget his antics.

Does anyone have a good basic tip on how to buy one at a discount?
Buy used, they devalue like rocks

What about the idea of the battery degrading or getting worn out or whatever? I've never owned one and I have sort of zero concept of that. I think they're warranty covers through 150k or something like that?

I wouldn't call them super cheap though they depreciate a lot from the new prices. Lots of quality ICE cars of similar age at lower prices, i.e. they are still expensive cars.
You can get fantastically good deals on used Fiskers. The company is bankrupt but there's a lively community of owners and getting stuff like repair parts isn't hard. I'm slightly tempted but only slightly. What I really want is an EV conversion for an old cargo van, so it would have very few computers inside.

This is my stupid fucking friend who can’t get off Elons nuts at all. It’s fucking sad. He literally bought a model Y the other day despite me telling him Rivian is about to release a competitor because he thinks he can add it to the robo taxi fleet in a year or two. God I love him and am sick of this shit.
I have one of those
friendsacquittances. Glow in his eyes when he talks about Elons great deeds. He also just bought a Y-model, because Elon was treated unfairly, even though he's in large debt due to a grand business opportunity that went south. -
You got to be a special kind of asshole if you’re buying a Tesla these days.
Or an Indian. They fucking love Tesla

Toyota sells a couple EV models in China for the China market not sure where thier overseas models are made....Toyota has the second biggest selling EV in Norway for example and have that model here in Australia, its actually ok, the previous version was comparatively shitty

From what Elon says to shareholders, Tesla is going to pivot to becoming a humanoid robot production company anyway, the cars are just a sideline. They axed two models when they announced that.

VERY popular in Germany
that salute you mean ?

The bz4x/bz/Solterra is still the worst EV on the road, bar none.
Worst range of all EVs, flip phone quality software center stack, and the same price as a model y. It’s nuts that anyone would buy those pieces of shit.

Yes, although I was obviously being a bit sarcastic - but not really since there's so many neo-nazis over here...

To be fair, I’m waiting on the R2 as well, but I’m strapping in for first generation fit and finish issues galore. Rivian hasn’t surpassed Tesla in software or aftermarket flexibility.
Not to mention, we probably won’t be able to take delivery until late this year despite paying for a reservation from this past March.

At this point i no longer care if they lower the price until they're free. They will have to sell them as scrap at a loss. I will never, ever, ever buy a Tesla.
I'd take a free Tesla. Pull the batteries and drive modules.
Scrap the shell, sell the drive modules, use the batteries for home storage. -

Random question: GTA? Greater Toronto Area?

If the price drops enough I would get one. I would hate to give money to musk, but it is not a bad car (based on the 2 people I know who have owned them for years).
We bought one a fair bit before Musk went full Neo Nazi. It's a great car, the best car I've ever owned. The only repair in nearly 180k km was a known issue covered by warranty. They could be fantastic if the company wasn't run by a moronic, petulant Neo-Nazi.
