Tesla Is Sitting on a Record 50k Unsold EVs

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 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...
-
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.
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.

Elon couldn't pay me to buy a Tesla. I like EVs. It's not about the technology. It's entirely about Elon. I'd rather buy Japanese or South Korean, thank you.
Well let’s not be too hasty here…
I really despise most everything about him but if Elon were to actually pay me and give me a free car I’d very likely take it. I mean I have principles but I’m not an idiot.

You could buy used not from Tesla if you did decide to buy in the future. Can get a great car and not pad their books.

And he lost the case obviously...
It took awhile for that to get finished, but it was great to see.
-
there are people in the world who buy new car because their 2 year old one is already too old.
I cant imagine having a perpetual car payment like that. I paid mine off years ago and its great.
-
You got to be a special kind of asshole if you’re buying a Tesla these days.
Not only that, you sort of have to hate having money.
With the cyber trucks having shit glued on them all over the place the company just seems laughable.
If I'm putting down (potentially) luxury car money I better damned well have a luxury car.

Toyota bZ4X EV recall over fears tires may fall off affects 2,700 units
Toyota is recalling 2,700 units of the all-electric bZ4X over concerns that the tires could fall off. The issue is caused by hub bolts which can loosen with sharp turning or braking. The company is working to fix the problem, though no timings have been provided. In the meantime, customers are asked not to drive their new car.

That one?
Nah I'd even drive a paintless dumpstertruck over that thanks
Volvo, Rivian, Kia, Chevy, Ford, plenty of ev options that aren't negligently dangerous like Toyota's EVs or Teslas

Surpass Tesla in software?
Most of us want less software not more
That's why everyone is so hyped about Slate. Less of this garbage is a paid feature these days.

The slate software is in no way going to be the industry standard. Car manufacturers are all looking to create parasitic software for their cars.
Slate is DOA based solely on how terrible the range will be.

Slate is a good niche, its range is fine for the purpose its supposed to fill
Imagine a fleet of them for a lawncare business paired with a 30-42" standup electric mower rig
Cost of operations would be dittly squat, could be further buffered with solar and replacememt parts dirt cheap. Roi would be extremely quick and then it'd be pure profits
People are already doing that with used Teslas pulling trailers (yeah its funny to see, but the people doing it have shown their numbers and its pretty nuts)
Whats not fine about the Slate is no awd version. On an EV it's a minimal endeavor to make that work so there's really no excuse
Having experienced awd I will never personally own another vehicle without it if I have a choice. Especially a truck. My driving conditions are way too harsh to not have it

It seems like there's a market for a company that will buy Teslas ultra cheap, modifies them heavily, then rebadges them like Alpine does for Renault, AMG does / did for Mercedes, Abarth for Fiat, etc.
These days those are all subsidiaries of the main brand, and even before that they had a cooperative relationship with the main brand. But, I can imagine a setup where the main brand doesn't support or approve of what the modifier company does.
