A good video showing why the EV market may have passed its peak, and could be waning, at least in the short term. You Tube ..read more

Tesla Santana Row Store called me yesterday to tell me they had a Model 3 Performance in the showroom, but no test drives as yet. They are the 1st in Northern Cal to get one. The sport seats are really good. The Highland seats are better than our 2018 seats, but the sport seats are on another level... This car comes with Pirelli 237/275 by 20 rubber, but the one we get will have Michelin Pilot Sports. Switchable suspension; track mode, insane mode.... I will probably put my order in this week. Just gotta cut loose 2 cars... Sheesh. If you qualify for the tax credit, this car is a freaking stea ..read more

I'm not sure if these two videos are doctored/staged or not, but they are both just hilarious.....people trying to fill up Teslas at a conventional station, looking for gas-filler pipes. :D And...to be gender-fair and avoid sexism, I posted one male and one female being equally-dumb. ;) You Tube You Tube ..read more

I'll let the mods decide if this can/should be its own thread or should be merged elsewhere, but I am curious for people's thoughts here. The used EV market is pretty insane right now with prices of every brand being out-of-whack in a depreciation schedule. A quick search in my zip code shows a Certified 2022 EQS 450+ with 10k miles for $56k asking price (current sticker price $105k). 50% depreciation in a car 2 years old with 10k miles? I bought my MYP from a local Mercedes dealer. They have the identical car, but 1 year newer (which makes it comparable since I bought mine about 18 months ag ..read more

So, I've been watching some Fisker vids (I really like the look of the car, and some of its features) and seen a few things that were interesting. 1. I've never charged publicly before, but this is kinda crazy to me that it takes almost an hour to fully charge a car to full. And that doesn't take into account if there are lines of cars waiting to charge, or if it's cold and the chargers can't push power fully, or if the chargers throw errors. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SmuLJ3NtMm0&pp=ygUPZmlza2VyIGNjcyB0ZXN0 2. This guy (I also like his channel) takes forever just to figure out how ..read more

Hmmm :uh:Toyota’s plug-in hybrids emit four times more CO2 than company claims Millions of well-meaning Toyota plug-in hybrid owners will be outraged to learn they’ve been burning through four times more petrol and producing four times more emissions than they were led to believe by the world’s largest automaker. New data released by the European Union Environment Agency shows car makers are substantially overestimating the efficiency of their vehicles for petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid models. The study, which uses real-world data on over half-a-million vehicles, found that car companies ..read more

I'm not sure whether this thread belongs in Car Chat, EV Chat, or Clubhouse :uh:.....mods, you can decide. Looks like some big layoffs coming at Tesla. If I had Tesla stock, I'd consider cashing it in right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0KSIirMrE0 https://finance.yahoo.com/video/tesla-lay-off-over-10-121031086.html ..read more
