Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

[UnionStrong]

Odds are that means they're not going to give a 4k credit for a purchase price of 5k on a wrecked car. It's probably just an antifraud setup. Any time big handouts happen, people find a way to get it.

That’s only way they can sell them, government subsidies

You lie all the time.

Feel free to quote one.

Ummm, where have you been?

Lol. You're saying the highest customer satisfaction luxury brand three years in a row can't sell a car without the subsidies they don't even get.

Feel free to quote one.

Green cars are fashionable—but Tesla vehicles are notoriously not reliable. According to J.D. Power, Tesla has an average of 176 mechanical faults per 100 vehicles, as compared to 121 mechanical faults across the industry. In 2021, J.D. Power also ranked Tesla 30th out of 33 brands in a Vehicle Dependability Survey.Apr 22, 2022

Reliability is the ability to get from a to b. Electrical motors are infinitely superior in that regard, with a single moving part and no transmission.

They took door panel gaps, window sensors, etc and pretended they were the same as engine problems.

Electrics are the most reliable of all vehicles. I've already explained this a dozen times. By their definition of reliability, they're not reliable. But by a good definition of reliable they are the most reliable.

That's not a quote of a lie, thanks.

I hope everyone notices how much narrower the complaints get every year. They used to be real complaints. Now, they're laughable.

"But what about long-distance heavy hauling in Canada?! Electrics suck!"

Keep grasping at that blankey. You'll always have something gas does better.

Like not blow up and kill everyone inside for no apparent reason? Or just simply last longer?

So, you spend 60-80k on it, the fit and finish suck, sensors are iffy, but it runs good. Lol

The biggest flaw to what you say is. You compare Tesla's to all cars. You never compare them to ones in their price range.

 

[Ou812fu]

That's not a quote of a lie, thanks.

You constantly say they are superior. Yet this video proves why they are behind times..

Far superior also doesn't mean they cost way more to fix..

As is the case with any high-end product made by a relatively new brand, the cost to repair a Tesla is something you might want to consider before purchase.

• The Samsung-made batteries were manufactured with irregularities

Yes and those people/companies are buying base/near base trucks because they're doing real work. The work that moves this country. Go to a Chevy or Ford dealership and try to find a base work truck for sale on the lot. If there is one it will relegated to the back corner and the salesmen will barely acknowledge it exists. I'm not bemoaning those trucks. Those trucks need to stay gal/diesel.

I'm talking about the cowboy Cadillacs. The $60,000+ King Ranch, Denalis etc that don't haul tools, feed, mulch, lumber etc. The trucks that are trucks but are treated like cars.

I was at the Ford dealer awhile back they had an friend-350 dually literally all the bells and whistles window sticker from the factory was 95k

Lower income limits for used cars.
Typical stupid crap from government.

Still not economically efficient for me.

What if trump told you to go buy a Tesla
You’d do it and not even bat an eye
