#2Seems like BYD has surpassed Tesla as the biggest EV maker as of the end of 2023: https://www.ft.com/content/716c9b0b-d8cd-491a-a91b-d70c1e540... (https://archive.is/LOiYh)
I'm guessing that Musk's unwillingness to work with the rules and norms in the markets Tesla is trying to enter, will be Tesla's downfall. Hopefully Tesla could somehow get rid of Musk as it seems like he is constantly holding Tesla back quite a bit. (edit: some context: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...)

#3Dare I ask why an EV would need a snorkel? Air cooling?

It also has a gasoline engine.

I’ll bite the bait, and will point out that Tesla sales this Q have been suppressed by people awaiting model refreshes.

#6It can also do 360 degree self centered turn, which should be useful. No more 3 point turns!
Given the flexibility of installing the motors, I've always wondered why electric cars still can't move in a parallel way. That should be very handy when parallel parking.

Moreover, you wanna focus on production + days spent in inventory.
Deliveries have more factors involved, and really only useful if full production capacity isn’t being fully sold out (which I believe still is).

#9Climate change will cause tons of flooding. I wont be surprised at the people who jump at a car like this.

#10I see China coming for the US auto industry, and fast.
It’s 100% the fault of our industry for sitting around doing nothing but repackaging old technology in overpriced chonker trucks and trying to obstruct the EV transition with disinformation. All they want to do is sell the same mediocre gas guzzler forever.
Innovators’ dilemma strikes again.
Of course I guess Japan decimated US auto last time. It was kinda the same deal. US companies just wanted to sell super heavy low tech V8 gas guzzlers like the Ford LTD. Japan came with reliable efficient cars and ate out the market.
I’m sure they’ll get more bailouts.
