David Roden said:I keep saying that we desperately need a simple, modest, driveable, easily maintained, smallish, efficient, AFFORDABLE electric vehicle.
It doesn't have to zoom from 0 to 60 in 6 seconds, or corner like a race car. It doesn't need silly looking high-inertia oversize wheels that look like they belong on a bike, or heated leather seats, or sophisticated automated driving features. It doesn't have to be "connected" (and some of us would rather it wasn't). Good grief, give us roll-up windows, manual door locks, and a normal ignition key. We'll survive. Tesla isn't listening. Fortunately for the world, other automakers are. You're not likely to ever see them here in the US, though, just as we've never gotten Toyota Aygos and VW Ups. I would say give them time. Tesla has already announced a $25K vehicle which will probably get made in Europe first but the time frame is next year. When they do, I think it is game over for ICEVs. The pinch point is making all the batteries. I agree with Robert that Tesla stock is a good buy. However, I would disagree that it is not STILL a good buy. In 10 years TSLA will be 10x or more. If you have the money to buy some, you will wish that you had. I am glad that you archive the EVDL so people can look back and see this prediction. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
