I won't buy any car with these rates.

[digmacdiggydoo]

Too expensive and interest rates are to high. No thanks!

[MM-xcbt]

Electric cars are not made for none home owners. Nowhere to charge it.

[AKrn]

I'm not buying a car that needs endless software updates and tracks your movements.

Toyota Camry Hybrid. 675 miles range. Refuels in 4 minutes.

Just wait until electricity rates quadruple over the next 20 years.

“Gotta love those tax credits”

Nope that just artificially inflates the price because the company knows the government picks up the difference.

If it makes sense for you, then buy one. Go for it.

EV’s were 7% of total new car sales in 2023 and the ratio of EV sales will continue to grow at a slow but steady pace

[mom]

No one trusts an 1890s style electrical grid.

[nyxline]

EV only made up less than 1% of US Cars😂😂😂😂 that's a Revolution

[ronbennett]

Smaller regular EV sedans affordably priced would help. Chinese BYD cars should be allowed in to drive some competition. Not everyone can afford $50K-$100K EVs with questionable battery life, long charging times, and concerns over safety.

BEV sales are surprisingly booming in Q2. Its up 17% compared to last year.
So why does media hide the truth.
Big oil tells them to 😂

[galvinstanley]

The Model 2 wasn't canceled, it's been delayed until 2025 or 2026.

[sfs]

People want bigger batteries for a greater range they'll use once or twice a year if that. People don't get it

[BeachMidnight]

Where do they get the cobalt from? Who is made to get it? That should be why.

[FrankGallagherr]

Tesla is the best car company ever! No gas stations, No oil changes, No smog check, No corrupt dealership, No catalytic converter and as fast as a $650, 000 Lamborghini.

[gtreib]

I am sick of hearing this. Make small basic ev's and they well sell like hotcakes..

[MrWhiterunGuard]

Good bring back the throaty V8s, I want Tesla to go bankrupt.

[MrLazlness]

Where do you charge them 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
