I know a lot of people who bought teslas before musk became a full blown oligarch and feel uncomfortable about it

When they're up for renewal, they won't be replaced with Teslas.

...and even those are likely pre-ElonSeigHeil purchases.

Even in iowa you see them all over. There are so many drivers any car make other than the most exclusive will be seen soon if you fixate on it (read look).

Stastics show tesla is a tiny brand by market share. However they are wer the only ev brand until reciently so people focus on them.

0% would be uplifting. This is still way too many people supporting a piece of shit.

BYDs are everywhere now in Australia. Not sure what alternative brands are available in the US, is it just Rivian?

but also higher quality

That's a low bar.

hur, hur, you said VAG

I have duly upvoted your obvious sarcasm.

Im personally looking forward to Edison EV conversions.

The ability to take a vehicle I already have and turn it into an EV or hybrid would be amazing.

I know they’re a while from full production, but I see that as a win. So many of these EVs are having quality issues because they’re being shit out onto the market as fast as humanly possible. I’d rather a company actually take the time to do R&D, test things thoroughly, and then release a product.

Enough with the trucks and SUVs. I'm not buying an EV until I can get a 2 door sports convertible with rack and pinion steering and double wishbone suspension. I don't want to drive a tank of a vehicle with vague, floaty handling. I want a small, light, and nimble EV that's fast as fuck and corners like a dream. For under $30K USD.

As an European i don't understand at all those open trucks. The back side is completely wasted space, is unusable, stuff will get stolen when you park (or even at the traffic light), or will get soaked in rain. It also lowers aerodynamic efficiency. That one time in my life when i would need to move a fridge or a mattress i could just rent it for 3 hours

This is only electric car market share.

They had near 100% EV market share just a few years back.

Losing half the market in 3-4 years is a huge change for any company, even if some of it was inevitable as rivals caught up and suprassed their offerings.
