Article doesn’t even say what the data shows. Did it go from 1000 cars per month to 1001 cars per month? Did it go from 10 cars per month to 1000 cars per month? Because some scenarios are more noteworthy than others.
Executive order to make it illegal to trade in or sell Teslas coming any minute.
Time to start calling it Fashla.
I think “Tesler” is pretty good already.
Rhymes with Esler, Georg Esler. Tried to assassinate Hitler.
It’s called Swasticar for a reason ;)

Tesla investor calls for Elon Musk to step down as boss
“The company’s reputation has just been destroyed by Elon Musk,” he said.
And what’s funny is that if he does step down, the value will immediately plummet on the market. That investor doesn’t seem to realize that Tesla is an immensely overvalued company and Musk and his promises are why.
He’s been saying “full self driving next year” for over a decade now. For whatever reason, people trusted him for the longest time.
Also, people are boycotting because he owns a lot of stock, not because he’s CEO. They want to hit him in the pocket. What this investor really wants is for Musk to digest his position, but there’s no way he’ll do that.
Exactly. Digesting his position would be a hard pill to swallow for Musk.
And then kill their charger standards. Fuck their licensing fees
It’s an open SAE standard now. No licensing fees.

Are you talking about the charging port (NACS)?
If so, it tells me you likely have never used an EV extensively in North America. CCS1 is complete ass and NACS rocks it in basically every way.
And to be fair, last I checked there wasn’t any licensing fees.
Yea I think within the last year or so the fee was removed.
No, that was almost a decade ago.
It’s not the connector that’s the problem with EA stations and the like, it’s the total absence of maintenance. I for one appreciate CCS1 and J1772’s simplicity of implementation. NACS was designed by a marketing team which means far more complexity behind the scenes. They’ve done well keeping their stations running but the pins and sockets only matter for the sales brochure.
Seems to be only California Teslas for now.
For what? TL; DR.
Other EVs
BYD? What else is available in the USafA?
Rivian, Hyundai Ioniq, Mustang Mach-E, Polestar, Electric Ford F150
Kia, Audi, VW, Porsche, Mini,
Getting a body from the scrappers and just having one built. There’s atleast two in my city.
Woah, first I’m hearing about this. How’s it work? What’s it called? How do you find a place?
The how it works is pretty simple, you can get most of the parts either commercially or via direct order. Also what you can do will vary based off of body a 2001 Honda Civic will have vastly different requirements for both parts and modifications needed vs a 1956 Volkswagen Bug. Also it’ll vary by how much of the original car is left, if it is literally just the frame or if it’s got everything except the engine will effect how you do things.
As for how to get it done, look around for companies or go to a car show. When I say car show I mean the type with dedicated areas for Hotrods and weird campers. If they have a Yugo or Fiat Polski then you are probably in the right place, chat with folks and you’ll either find someone who can point you in the right direction or will offer to do it.
I have a friend that does EV conversion of RAM Promaster. Might do that with my model 3 in order to avoid selling to a nazi.
ive seen a ton of people get ioniq, my parents got one leased, i dont like the sunroof that much.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a good car for the price. I see them quite a lot too.
Pick a manufacturer. They all make models now.
Not all of the manufacturers are available in the USA though.
The only BYDs available in the USA are busses, trucks and forklifts. No cars unfortunately. Same with all the other Chinese brands like MG - none of them are available in the USA.
Most of the Japanese, South Korean, and German EV brands are available in the USA, in addition to American brands of course. Ford, Kia, Hyundai, VW, BMW, Audi, Cadillac, Chevy, Dodge, Genesis, Honda, and probably others I’m forgetting.
It’s annoying that it says “data from Edmunds published on Thursday” but doesn’t link to the data.
This world wide web has gotten a lot less webby over time as each page tries its damnedest not to give you options to go anywhere else.
