Does the concept of time exists?

#22I think the take-away from this is that EV market in the US is a long-ways away from economy cars when the #3 selling car is $100k. You can't even find middling used EVs for sub $20k. They're all just Chevy Bolts people were desperate to unload.
I thought the Bolt had a good reputation. What's wrong with them?
No L2 charging for one.

#23That thing is a monstrosity.
This to me implies that EVs have peaked and only the market for vanity vehicles remains at this time
Edit: I also have a suspicion that this is primarily due to them filling all the preorders. It’d be good to see a breakdown as to how many new orders people are placing after seeing this POS in real life.

#24Alternate headline: Tesla sales dip below 50% of all EV sales. Source: https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/q3-2024-ev-sales/
This appears to be an alternate article, rather than an alternate headline for this one.
Didn't mean to confuse, this is an alternate interpretation of recent EV sales data.

#26This kind of summary is tricky because the answer can depend on the bucketing that occurs from the spread of models or manufacturers.
The linked Kelly Blue Book report tables are probably more-useful, and state that in Q3, 4.8% of the vehicles sold were Cybertrucks.
I'm not familiar with pickup-truck-adjacent vehicles, but I notice the "Ford F-150 Lightning" was 2.1%, and the "GMC Hummer Truck / SUV" was 1.2%.

Arguably their lack of extremely fast DC charging. But many of them got brand new replacement batteries, and the last wave off-lease have low miles. Looking at a wholesale price index, it seems that Bolt EUVs are $22-23k, which is similar to the prices of Model 3 (24-28k, but they don't separate standard and long range; the Bolt had only 1 variant).

New cars have always been expensive. The average car is 12 years old in the US, not many EVs were available in 2012, but a lot of used cars are older than that. Give it time and EVs will drop in price. Though with charging standards changing it will be a while just because some cars will not be chargeable.

Given you can cancel your preorder without losing any money, one would presume that the majority of pre orderers were happy with the results.

#30tbh I continue to say the i3 scale/weight was what mass market EV transportation should have been designed towards (and more efforts focused on public trans than single/small n occupant cars). Societal/environmental cost of 6000-7000 lb behemoths erase any emissions gains from going EV.
I really wish they would have continued to make the i3 and reduce the cost. It was perfect for a lot of people but the price was just too high.
