Still a TON of Teslas on the freeway coming up 680. I don't really think the hard core libbyfucks will really dent the market. They are also a kind of nerd flag and you know how many of them there are in Silicon Valley.

Tesla will be fine. The loss of sales from the far left will be equalized by the right buying them. All EV's issues coming up are going to be market saturation. If the car lasts 5-10 years there will be no new buyers. I think that's what we're seeing more than anything.

You also now have a used market after 10 years or so. Way less demand for new. EV makers are going to have to adjust their supply or lower prices. It's also not a feasible car north of I-80 in the states.

Proof positive that owning a Tesla had nothing to do with 'saving the environment'. It was all about what star the Sneetches had on their belly...until it wasn't.

And in Corona, CA:

In the flurry of recent endorsements have any of you cats been persuaded to buy a Tesla car yet?

I honked and waved at a cybertuck that was driving to the right of me on a city street. If it had stopped I would have mentioned the TOYOTA sticker trick to he/her/they/their/xi/xer/ . . . .

I got a 2nd one earlier this month. Love having 2 on my driveway as a big middle finger to the Commie Trans terrorists.

Anybody else?

PS. It's not like you needed the endorsements, lol.

Edmunds reported in July 2024 that 51 percent of Teslas traded in at dealerships in the first half of the year were swapped for gas-powered vehicles. And when Edmunds analyzed trade-ins all the way back in 2019, Tesla owners exchanged 71 percent of their models for gas vehicles—not replacement EVs or hybrids.

Every Tesla owner I've ever spoken to in person, has said they will not buy another one.

Many cars are going to be alot more expensive next week thanks to Trump's new tariffs.

Good thing Tesla is the most American made car in the industry.

That infogram doesn't say shit what it actually depicts. You just say it does.

So no parts in a Tesla come from China, then?

Like most of what you post, I call bullshit.

Police arrested 33-year-old Demarqeyun Cox in Texarkana, Texas, for felony criminal mischief after he used a mini four-wheeler to smash into a Tesla at Golden Palace restaurant and damaged another at Lowe’s.

Wrong or not. If you drive 10-20 miles on average it works as a daily driver. Wouldn’t for me. Likely ever without a 6 figure price tag. I’m out for that amount on a car. I’d rather spend money on vacation and other luxuries.

DeportLibtards says

All Elon said is that Tesla won't be 100% unscathed from the tariffs.

But clearly Tesla will be impacted the LEAST because Tesla makes the most American made cars.

But up is down and black is white for certain Elon/TSLA haters around here......

You claim your wife makes bank. Why not treat her with the best, safest and most American Made car on the planet? Is she is hauling your toys around and driving 100's of miles a day?

Wrong. He said: The cost impact is not trivial.

You then try to twist that around to claim he supports your unproven bullshit But clearly Tesla will be impacted the LEAST because Tesla makes the most American made cars.. He doesn't.

socal2 says

Nope. Calling you out for your perpetual bullshit posted on PatNet does not make us Elon/TSLA haters. Again, you twist things around to conform with your magical thinking. Which is the root of your bullshit posts, btw.

Caught red-handed AGAIN!

Read your own bullshit article. Musk didn't say that. Some analysts pushing Tesla stock did.

Musk in that article talks about the EV tax credit and other things. But for the tariffs he says the opposite to the bullshit that article's headline - and what you keep saying.

Also, the cars are not 100% made in America. More outright bullshit. That Musk DOES point that out.

Cut the crap, socal2.

WTF are you even arguing about?

My original claim that sent you into another splenic rage was: "Good thing Tesla is the most American made car in the industry".

Have you managed to debunk this fact yet?

Assuming you can't, because there are none - now use your brain and try to understand what Trump's new car tariffs are going to do to Tesla's competitors who have a much larger percentage of their cars and spare parts assembled outside the US.

socal2 says

Nice try.

I am talking about your repeated attempts to avoid accountability for the outright bullshit you post here.

And you know it.

Yes. Musk did it for me...despite your false representations otherwise.

I drive safer cars. And yes she tows stuff and drives more than 100 miles a day M-F.

She got hit by a loaded box truck. Kids in the car. No one even noticed. It was totaled. We won’t drive small impractical cars for our needs.

It was a rear end accident. Any Tesla would have been destroyed. Not opinion. Fact. No issue with Musk or EV’s but they don’t work for 80-90% of the population.

WTF?

GM cuts 500 jobs because of weak demand for BrightDrop electric vans

General Motors is laying off 500 workers at a factory in Canada because of weak demand for its all-electric BrightDrop vans, according to CNBC.

GM told CNBC that the cuts were not related to the ongoing trade war being waged by President Donald Trump. The company is cutting one of the two shifts at the CAMI plant in Ontario, and will idle the facility for 20 weeks beginning in May.

The cuts are the newest twist in BrightDrop’s short but somewhat tumultuous history. It created BrightDrop as a separate entity within GM in 2021, but absorbed it in 2023. In 2024 BrightDrop’s vans suffered a recall after a few battery fires. Later last year, GM moved BrightDrop under the Chevy brand.

EV's do not work for shipping. Maybe one zip code and factoring in payload and weather/temps it probably can't even do that. A UPS truck can do multiple zip codes on one tank of gas and 1-2 tons of packages and in cold weather. You'd be lucky to get 100 miles out of an EV "shipping" vehicle.

Are tesla fluffers still fluffing?
