Very unlikely, Toyota will just absorb them.

Biker, who thinks many have been drinking the EV coolaid and underestimate the longevity of good ole ICE vehicles.

Hoping Mazda keeps afloat. They seem to be having a decent resurgence around here, seeing a lot of CX5s on the road & a few CX30s

Maybe the MX30 being their first dip into partial EV brings some development to the table.

Would hate for Toyota to turn one of the best driving lineups into bland vanilla appliances.

I would. Heavily considering a 4xe Wrangler.

I see TONS of new Mazdas on the road all the time. They look cool, are the right price, and drive fantastic. I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon. The only thing that's going to kill them is if they keep trying to invent novel versions of making the ICE engine better. That ship has sailed. Run what you brung and start electrifying.

00TL-P3.2

Looks like they're in no hurry to bring the Sky-X to the US.
Not sure if/when we'll get the MX30, or if that'll lead to more rotary-generator models.

Another reason everyone else is fucked, what other CEO is putting all the money they have into their company? How many CEOs are just cashing the check and only care about stock bonuses. What other company is as driven from the top down as Tesla?

SamDoe1

That's exactly it. Stop with the rotary BS. No one cares lol. The rotary isn't a good idea, it's a terrible one. If it was feasible, everyone would be doing it.

it is called a BET... it seems you were sooooo confident with everything you are saying... put your $$ where you mouth is.. in this case your activity here...
I mean i am only asking if you wanna bet... you could say have said No....

SSFTSX

there is no on sale yet. so near term $7500 wont convince many people to buy electric rather force consumer to wait vehicle of there choice as credit is not running out.
there is no penalty of keeping ICE vehicles unless gas tax is increased.
I still prefer Toyota Plugins in BOF.

By any time soon, you mean 4-5 years right? Cuz that is the end of all human.. i mean ICE cars...100% EV by 2025!!

SamDoe1

I literally have no idea what you just wrote.

Oh damn, do they even have that long to live? I thought Tesla was going to have 90% of market share of all cars sold in the world by this time next year...

You guys are Neanderthals. Anybody who drives an ICE vehicle is literally subhuman. Myself included.

Imagine going to a gas station, on purpose. LOL!!!!

What’s a computer gas pump?

I already put all my money where I think it’s worth (TSLA). It’s a waste of time discussing this with you.

Is that why you think you can make all these bullshit claims cuz you got nothing else left to lose

https://electrek.co/2020/11/05/tesla...s-biggest-yet/Tesla (TSLA) has received a massive new order of Tesla Semi electric trucks from a truck leasing company.

It might be its biggest order for the Tesla Semi program yet.
“Today, Pride Group Enterprises (PGE) is announcing that it has reserved 150 Tesla Electric Semis with the option to increase to 500 trucks. Sam Johal, Pride Group Enterprises CEO, announced that the company has placed a deposit to secure the initial units and build slots.”
CEO Sam Johal commented on his company’s new Tesla Semi order:
“With support from one of our long-term financial partners, Hitachi Capital, we are very excited to bring this innovative product to our strong customer base, helping forge a new path in clean transportation. We believe that electrification is the way of the future as we work together across multiple industries to reduce our carbon footprint. As well, we have the option to increase our order as we gauge customer acceptance of this new technology.”
At 150 trucks with the option to buy 350 more, this could be Tesla’s biggest order of Tesla Semis yet.

It would be worth between $22 million and $100 million depending on the final number of trucks and the configurations.
Pride Group Enterprises would have to have placed a deposit of at least $3 million with Tesla to secure the order.

The group operates a dozen locations in the US and Canada and it plans to make the trucks available to its leasing customers based on demand across the regions.

Nice! I do think commercial trucking is a sector where EVs can make a huge impact.

The instantaneous, prodigious amounts of torque and drastically reduced emissions compared to semi-trucks is tremendous. A typical downside of BEVs is the increased weight, but this should be negligible compared to the benefits.

Electric Car Sales More Than Double In World's Biggest EV Market, But Tesla Lags

https://www.investors.com/news/elect...ls/?src=A00220

#1 STUNNA

Thanks to EU regulatory credits they make more money selling an EV in Europe that was made in China, that leaves less EVs to sell in China. This country by country month by month reporting is dumb, Tesla is selling every EV they make and they have two factories supplying the entire world, there will be ups and down month by month in certain regions.

January: Global warming isn't happening because temps are down in the Northern hemisphere right now compared to where they were a few months ago!
July: Global warming isn't happening because temps are down in the Southern hemisphere right now compared to where they were a few months ago!

SSFTSX

there is no evidence Tesla sales growth is faster in EU than competition. in China it is stagnating around 12K a month.
higher end Model S/X are now at bottom of sales chart.

Seems like better games and probably an App Store is on the horizon for Tesla if they’re going to be putting in an AMD GPU in their system.

This thread makes me not want to buy a Tesla. Used to think they were cool but it's killing it for me.

The 56 stall V3 250kw Supercharger location is now open in Firebaugh, CA


I think that's the biggest public Supercharger in the world, they just opened a 64 stall charger in Giga Shanghai to charge new vehicles as they come off the line but I don't think that's open to the public

Comfy

I don’t get it. Super chargers that are more spread out will be more useful that a lot of them in a single location. Isn’t it.

#1 STUNNA

Most of them are but there are also locations that need a lot oso many there f stalls, this is a location off of a major highway in a state with a lot of Teslas, they call them the California Camry because there is so many of them. During the holidays there's been issues with long waits to charge. This location will be able to handle the holiday rush

At least the some of the experts who made a proposal for European Union Commission are in agreement with me.
