Tesla tells CyberTruck owner that drove 35 miles and gushing coolant isn't covered by warranty. Guess what they are telling people with Tesla's a couple years old. The cash flow crunch at Tesla is a lot worse than they are letting on.

"...and a stubborn belief that charging an EV is still too hard".

Call me stubborn.

Anytime, anywhere, in any weather, gassing up in 5 minutes to recover 100% range (of 400+ miles in my E90) is just plain easier.

My friend was excited to know Ikea (Canada) offer free EV charging. He rush there and doing some shopping with his EV. 45 mins later, he check his EV and he is very disappointed. It only boost up the battery by 1%. I told him you should spend 6 hrs there and keep shopping until your knee drop, then you will have enough juice in your EV to go home.

Chinese EV stocks drop on expectations Bozo could hit sector with 100% tariff next week

May 10, 2024
Shares of Nio, Li Auto and other Chinese electric-vehicle makers were falling Friday, following multiple published reports that the Bozo administration could roll out much-anticipated new tariffs next week that target those companies as well as other Chinese industries.
The higher tariffs could come as soon as Tuesday, according to reports from Bloomberg News and Reuters, while the Wall Street Journal said the tariff rate on Chinese EVs is expected to roughly quadruple to 100% from 25%. There’s also an additional 2.5% duty for all automobiles imported into the U.S.
Besides EVs, the semiconductor, battery and solar sectors in China look set to face additional tariffs. The development comes after President Joe Bozo last month pushed for higher tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum.

Be more Chinese fields full of EV's that are too hot to trot and more expensive than gas Toyota 4 door saloons.

In EU but not here (which they probably will due to the 'push over and weak' gubment).

This may have been played before but needs to be shown for the greenie journos who are putting out that EV's are cheaper to run and service than gas cars.

Tesla's Storing Unsold Inventory In An Abandoned Mall Parking Lot
05/13/2024
Parking lots full of Tesla vehicles are becoming impossible to ignore as the electric automaker seemingly can’t sell enough cars and trucks to match its rate of production. According to its own figures, the electric automaker produced 46,561 more vehicles than it delivered to customers during the first quarter of 2024. Where are all these cars going? Parking lots at its factories, malls and airports.



The Chesterfield Mall, about 20 miles west of St. Louis, has become an overflow lot for Tesla. Emblematic of American retail’s current state, the mall is slated to be demolished and replaced with a $2 billion mixed-use project. The Staenberg Group, the mall’s owner, is eking out the last drops of revenue before the mall’s remaining tenants have to move out on August 31. Tim Lowe, a Staenberg Group senior vice president, told KTVI:

Really amazing what covid did to introduce slack in the market, wild swings in customer demand, along with rapid money printing followed by rising interest rates. The market needs to heal and badly.

Just needs one Seagull to ignite on the t/ship and there's a high risk of that seing their recent history.

I am happy because time will tell. I mentioned this issues in the past and everyone told me I am worry too much. I am actually sad to know this was happening. I wish all the best to the EV owners. Happy charging....

First down cycle for Tesla. OEM's learned stockpiling is ungood. Although, plenty of inventory around here, regardless of brand.
