tesla's sales have never dropped this far year over year. what happened to the projections?
Norway had a drop that lasted 2 years while they were at 20% EV market share. Now they're at 92%. I'm sure everyone was saying the EV fad was over then, too.
gee wow, what a huge dip. that's nowhere near 25% though. wonder what's happening this time?
>2.8% dip in the USA EV sphere
>Norway looks like the same dip
Are you trolling or blind?
but what made tesla's sales drop 25%? that's crazy.
Your OP was talking about EVs in general. So are we talking Tesla or EVs?
i'm talking about both since both are gay and sales of both are declining. i was wondering why people don't want to buy these gay cars any more.
Norway sales declined over a couple years then bounced back, so, we'll see if this actually means anything.
yeah but 25% is huge, and this time it's not just in one country.
2.8% is not much at all. That's less than the amount Norway declined.
Probably just the shitty market in general.
Can I ask why DA hates so much on Tesla's? I'm in the market for a new car, and I've come here and all I see is Tesla hate, what's the reason? Aren't we supposed to appreciate cars?
>Can I ask why DA hates so much on Tesla's?
some are ideologically opposed to EVs for 'tarded political reasons
others (myself included) really dislike them as cars. they're *fricking great* EVs, especially the whole package incl the charging stations, but as cars, they suck pretty bad.
compare the model S with other cars in its price range. aside from the straight line performance, which is indeed outstanding, its just utter shit. and don't even fricking get me started on the model 3 that doesn't even have a gear shifter any more. or functional auto wipers.
>but as cars, they suck pretty bad.
Genuinely asking, why do they suck as cars?
Ever been to a junkyard?
Junkyards are for totaled cars. Cars that have taken major damage. A small ding on a Tesla is enough to junk it because the battery is super dangerous. Teslas are a disposable appliance with major planned obsolescence built in. That's a fact.
>Genuinely asking, why do they suck as cars?
material quality, build quality, nvh, ride comfort, usability, sound system quality, customizability, repairability, customer service. vs cars of equal price, ofc.
pretty much everything except the drivetrain is mid '00s hyundai tier for the 3 and Y, and at best entry level merc/bmw for the S and X, which is entirely unacceptable for the prices they go for. the only remotely defensible proposition is the entry level model 3, which is at least somewhat close in price to what the car part of it warrants.
the whole "one screen to rule them all" thing also sucks ass heavily, especially on the 3 and Y that don't even have a instrument panel. i must admit that tesla's infotainment is very good, for what it is, but what it is sucks ass. and at least the voice rec works. but i'd take the new camry interior over any teslas, any day of the week.
Teslas are a disposable appliance not a car.
it's just a golf cart
Teslas are hated in any car community except theirs because they're not "cars" by traditional means.
>*is faster than you*
>*has better driving experience than you*
>*is more convenient than you*
Teslas represent the absolute rape of legacy cars
>*is faster than you*
Slower than a Gold around the burgerking
>*has better driving experience than you*
kek no
>*is more convenient than you*
kek no
Oho? All the teslas I see are chugging along with the semi trucks hugging their slipstream like life depends on it. Must suck to have a “fast” car that’s got such limited range with long refuel times that you can’t actually keep up with 40 year old dinosaurs
Electric cars are fricking gay
One could write an essay on why enthusiast car communities dislike Teslas. Quick breakdown—they represent the shameless commodification of the automobile. They are soulless appliances and proud of it. Reasons I say this:
They are next to impossible to work on yourself. While nearly any problem with a Miata can be fixed by a moron with internet access and a modest toolbox, almost every single thing that goes wrong with a Tesla warrants taking it to a dealership. The owners are ok with this because they aren’t enthusiasts, just consumers, and they couldn’t care less about the decentralization of auto repair/maintenance.
The build and finish quality is poor. Panel gaps galore and shitty interior materials. Lots of fancy electronics that are guaranteed to be outdated (if not totally shit the bed) within 10 years. The owners (and company) don’t care because they view the automobile as a disposable appliance to be upgraded regularly.
They are not very fun to drive. While the straight line speed is great, and they’re comfy on the highway, they’re far too heavy to be tossable in the canyons/on the track and they aren’t fun to put-put around town on a sunny day. They also aren’t worth shit off road, so there’s really no scenario where most enthusiasts wouldn’t rather have a totally different car.
No kinetic experience. No engine noise, dead steering feel, no shifts, just zero engagement for the driver. Pretty much the opposite of a motorcycle (the single greatest form of transportation)
They’re also just pretty gay
good post
>They are next to impossible to work on yourself
because any work that needs to be done on them would be equally undoable on an ICE for most users. Things like oil changes, which is the extent of what "enthusiasts" do to cars themselves, are not needed at all
>The build and finish quality is poor
this is entirely on par with cars of the same price point, and is not unique to Teslas
>Lots of fancy electronics that are guaranteed to be outdated (if not totally shit the bed) within 10 years
This would be a valid point if 10 year old Teslas had electronics that were unusable. Spoiler: theyre completely fine and still on the road
>No kinetic experience. No engine noise
hilarious because performance cars pride themselves on "luxurious cabin noise isolation" to stay quiet because no one wants to hear that shit
no its not
And as everything in this post is fact, it points out that there is no natural reason for EV shills to exist on this board at all except for astroturfing in order to shape our thinking to match what the /n/ user thinks.
OP, I would guess Tesla is dipping for the same reason that only Tesla has any significant EV marketshare in the USA: there is only a Tesla redditor EV "enthusiast" segment in our market and that group of shriveled testes has saturated themselves with Teslas.
Frick /n/ and frick their WEF "we'll just tell them how to think" bullshit. EV shills stink of israelite.

How to kill your credibility 101
Why not both?
sometimes I just want to get home from work. Im convinced all these people drooling for "le brown manúel wagon" don't have a job or commute. when the traffic is stop and go for an hour I just want a pod that drives itself and plays music. When it's time to have fun and be sporty, you would have to spend $100,000+ to match a 6k cheap shitty used bike.
the Tesla is the modern grand marquis or ls400.
>Can I ask why DA hates so much on Tesla's?
I don't hate Teslas,I hate the morons into Teslas who don't seem to know anything about cars, economics or basic numbers
Its just the poorgays that hate them, as they cannot even into an m3.
Its the fox and the grapes.
Because we like CARS, not appliances. An EV is antithetical to what most people like about cars, how is this a mystery to anyone?

Tesla hate I can kinda understand, it's a bit like hating Apple. But hating on EVs in general I don't understand, just feels like conservatives are afraid of new stuff and not so much actual problems with the cars.
Elon musk embracing Donald Trump and becoming a right wing troll put a lot of people off Teslas. It's like bud light advertising with trannies. You have to know your customer base and you can't alienate them. Now only Chinese still think Teslas are cool and their cars are steadily becoming better than Teslas so those days are numbered.
poor loyal muskies must be in a tight spot.

You're making shit up.

>ban sales of gas cars by 2025

>"gas cars are totally legal"
>thing is slightly more expensive and won't be for sale in the future
>this makes it currently illegal
OK moron
a CRV costs 60k in norway due to taxes. of course everyone is going to buy an EV if it costs half as much as a gas car
So the only thing preventing everyone from getting an EV is just money? Sounds like all the other issues don't matter.
Making something prohibitively expensive to own is a de facto ban, moron. See also: The National Firearms Act in America.
Except they reduced the incentives over the last few years and yet EV market share increased. And if it was prohitively expensive, how were double digit sales percentages still achieved?
this is just a guess, ofc, but imo its one of 2 things
1) market saturation. EVs only really make sense for home-owners, ones who can afford to buy a new car, and there's a finite amount of those around.
or
2) the lineup isn't exciting anymore.
-the refreshed model 3 is new and flashy, sure, but its not an SUV, so the market for it is limited
-the model Y is pretty old at this point, and given the refreshed model 3, its reasonable to expect a Y refresh is coming soon, too.
-the model X and S are practically ancient in terms of car years, so nobody is really excited for them anymore. plus, both of them are priced so high, they compete with much better cars (worse EVs, but much better cars overall), so they don't really make a lot of sense imo.
Don't forget the fact that Tesla has literally never had a model without a major recall. They could get away with that when they were the only game in town for EVs. That time has passed and they now have to compete on price and quality.
afaik Tesla "recalls" are just software updates. im not aware of anything more serious than that, certainly not in the recent past. are you talking about '15-16 model S's or something?
There's a recall on right now for accelerator pedals becoming dislodged and jamming, affecting every Cybercuck currently produced.
four thousand (4000) trucks, to be exact
meanwhile obsolete gas car brands like ford or toyota have recalls affecting millions and no one bats an eye
>sound system quality
moron
>moron
stfu.
if im paying 50k for a car, let alone 100k, i expect a decent sound system that has been properly tuned. not a fricking tinny echo chamber and $5 walmart speakers.
That's because they've only managed to produce 4000 trucks. How's that musky dick taste?

Especially when its being done as some sort of act of defiance like in Toyota's case.

wow, you sure showed him
tax credits run out and suddenly nobody wants to shell out 50g's + for a blender on wheels. no wonder so many mfg are dropping their MSRP by essentially the tax credit amount. yet another reason why government subsidies are a fricking scam, I hope you all enjoyed paying for your neighbor's Tesla, and are loving the increased electricity rates because of it.
I think what happened is the Ford lightning. Specifically the multiple price increases combined with the ridiculous drop in cold weather mileage. This exposed a lot of would be electric car buyers to the reality of them. Tesla so far has relied on a market of people that wanted electric cars. But most people don't care. They want a car at a price they are willing to pay for the options. Suddenly the new potential market sees oh no I can't get electric in cold temps. That effects so many buyers. Not just electric truck buyers.
the ford lightning and its failure really did frick up the EV utility market by highlighting the fact that really only rivian has had some breakthrough in utility minded EVs and even then they are way too expensive. from that moment on EVs just became for early adopters in the sedan or crossover market in which there are an endless number of better options in hybrids or ICE. Take awab the 0-60 from an EV and you are left with a heavy car that needs to be charged in a house due to public charging sucking, and it cant operate in temperatures that are not that perfect year round 70°F/21°c
>and it cant operate in temperatures that are not that perfect year round 70°F/21°c
Disingenuous or low IQ?
You must pick at least one
i'm gonna guess you're low IQ. did i guess right?
>post chart that shows the vehicle can in fact operate at lower temperatures
You should be wearing a helmet at all times
Going out on a limb here but I'd wager the person who did those tests never achieves EPA in any car they drive. A lot of people never do, and the EPA tests haven't been that accurate in the past especially if you look at it as "I will always get that every day".
EPA is an annualized rating for all vehicles. Summer 30mpg highway and 27 city vs Winter 22mpg highway 19mpg city gets put into an algorithm to spit out to 25mpg on the Monroney sticker, and a lot of people will never achieve that.
They arrive at the EV MPGe figures and 'range' ratings the exact same way.
There is also a question of how they were getting those figures. I doubt they were very scientific about actually driving the car down to empty.
Short trips in an EV use more energy than longer trips, because the overhead of initially getting the vehicle to temperature higher than maintaining temperature.
lmao why did you write all that
chatbots programmed to keep EV threads up
seriously i hope so otherwise dude needs to get a life lmao
>everyone who disagrees with me is a bot
You might want to seek help for your paranoia.
if you're not a chatbot you're a huge homosexual lol
But I don't disagree. EPA MPG figures are a complete fraud.
The other thing about evs is if you charge to 100% and discharge to 0% you rapidly degrade the battery. So you don't have advertised range, you have 60% + emergency reserve - degradation. But with a 20 year old gas car you still can use 95% of the fuel every time with no problem and if you run it empty you just risk pump/filter issues
My coworker drives his tesla ~ 200 miles to the other facility including some mountain driving and even in winter time he has around 30% left when he gets in. He keeps the heat set to comfy and doesn't try to conserve power. He also uses it for delivery/pickup sometimes (we get paid xx¢ per mile when using personal vehicle) that being said we are coastal, so extreme cold or heat isnt really a concern here.

EV adoption is less than 1% in 41 out of 50 states.
So what?
41 out of 50 states are irrelevant flyover shitholes filled with moronic hicks
Hybrids make 10% of the cars in the US, EVs make 6%
wrong, EVs make up less than 1% of cars registered in the US.
I love how people throw around this statistic like it matters.
What's the resale value like for EVs? Better than a hybrid or normal car?
much worse. it's one if the reasons hertz decided to dump their EVs to pick up more gas cars.

>The value of used EVs has dropped 33.7% between October 2022 and October 2023, even as the overall used car market dropped only 5.1%
Resale values for all cars are bad right now.
>even as the overall used car market dropped only 5.1%
chatbot needs to learn how to read better.
Flawed logic. ICE vehicles cover more segments like sports cars which hold their values higher. You have to compare EV against similar ICE vehicles, not just EV vs ICE.
lol you tesla shills are in overdrive today with your mental gymnastics
Don't tell this Anon how resale values compare between a BMW 3 Series and a Tesla Model 3, it doesn't suit their narrative.
Only a moron would buy german these days. Short lease maybe....
Why do you fricking /n/iggers come here to shill your shitty appliances on wheels nonstop? You will not and are not convincing anyone, same as the literal troons on DA pretending it's /lgbt/ with their homosexualry. Countless threads are derailed with your EV pilpul and all it does is shit up the board with your braindead circlejerk of appliances. This anon's post
hits the nail on the fricking head. Your battery powered golf cart is an APPLIANCE and in my opinion belongs on /n/ because it's SOLE and ONLY purpose is transportation from a to b - as efficiently, quietly and mindlessly as possible.
My genuine question is why? Why do you frickers spend so much time here astroturfing?
funny story, they're actually not industry EV shills, they're intel agency anti-EV shills. their job is to piss everyone off and make them hate EVs (every thinktank knows DA is an autistic contrarian website so the propaganda is adjusted accordingly)
>mfw
Fricking glowBlack folk every time
Bad, worse than normal cars. Most people don't want them because of bad reputation, them aging like milk, and often questionable build quality. EVs are like smartphones so they last like shit, age like milk quick because newer models get upgraded while old ones are let to become obsolete scrap, and when you buy used EV, you're taking bigger risk than buying a usual shitbox because shitbox can be fixed, while EV is computer on wheels. It's complicated to work with, and repairs are insanely difficult and expensive (changing battery can cost as much as entire car for example).
Used EVs market is mostly flooded with shitty old Nissan Leafs and early Tesla model 3s and S'es that are absolute dogshit, and it's going to get even worse because EVs are shilled hard everywhere, pushed down the throats by governments, and because they get baked like hot cakes all the time.
Only winners are governments, sociopaths who sell them, and lobbyists who push EVs as hard as possible.
It depends on how you look at the actual price of the car. Is it the sale price or the sale price-the tax credit? Most people say the latter so that means the resale price pretty much starts at that point. This means on paper it looks bad because every EV takes a $7500 hit to their resale price immediately. But in reality you got this money from the government for free so it doesn't really count. EVs are comparable to every other car in terms of depreciation if you ignore this hit from the tax credit.
>you got this money from the government for free
And where does the government get their money from?
I've been saying it again and again.
EVs will never go beyond 25% adoption.
car makers are seeing the data and doing a 180 and Focusing on hybrids .
the charging understructure just isn't there.
and in places like my neighborhood, you can't even support 10% of EV adoption.
the power grid can't take it.
This. With how slow shit gets done in the US, we'll NEVER be able to support large-scale EV adoption.
saturation has been reached. most everyone that wants an ev, has one. itll taper off now and tesla will need an upgrade path for former owners
/misc/ says that evs are for city dwelling sóyboys and regular people will never adopt evs because of the low range and long charge times and how crazy and violent things will get when people a forced to wait for hours to use public charge stations especially if you're stuck in an area not populated by Asians and or whites. Evs only work if you live in a small homogeneous community and can charge overnight at home. Is /misc/ right?
yes
Pretty much.
Some of us country folks have ali express e- shitboxes cause they were cheap. Gotta say mine is quite useful for stuff I don't need to do.
Take your meds.
Kind of. /misc/ is right 50% of the time with 99% accuracy.
It's true that EVs are only for city slickers and consoomers who drive short distances. Those who drive longer distances or live outside cities buy hybrids or normal/ICE cars, and generally see EVs as a joke.
Charging is complicated. Major cities have stations with turbo charging (so charging can take less than 1 hour) but those are not that frequent and if you're outside big city, you're out of luck because you'll have to wait for at least 7 hours until it's fully charged.
>homogenous community
Kind of correct. Having one around Black folk or mexicans is like having a death wish. Unless you have good neighbours and don't live around browns, you're fricked. EV charging is long and requires lots of energy, and because most of infrastructures around the world are shit, it won't be viable option. Everybody will definitely end up with constant blackouts or government mandated brownouts.
Ocam's razor.
They are running out of redditors/basedboys to sell them to. What everyone already knew. Early adopters gonna adopt... Once they adopt, sales will slow. Most working class people who make below 100k need to be buying used cars to begin with. Not 50k~ model 3 performance. No amount of shilling, crying, or fanboying is going to put money in the pockets of potential buyers. Most people already have a favorite car or a particular brand with sovl in mind and couldn't give a shit about a tesla
if they were to buy new. Spec sheets don't matter. Also, they are probably running out of home owners to sell to. You need to own a home or a garage to really get the most out of owning an EV.
Once gas prices spike a bit higher, a bunch of morons will roll over the debt from their 2017-24 big ass truck/SUV into an electric car payment.
The goyim are learning it’s a scam. Just in time for Brandon to steal another election and ban all gas car sales by 2025
They hate the new and love the old. At least in EU Tesla is one of the only choices for new cars.
>40k for a Tesla M3
>Toyota Corolla 33k
>any new merc 60k
>Chinese shit cars 30k to 35k
Maybe in USA where Tesla price is same but other cars are 30% cheaper it's more of a competition.
I should also have mentioned in my post that I'm trans BTW
All the recalls and repairs
No, it's because Tesla makes shit cars and legacy autos don't want cheaper, better made Chinese EVs to enter the US market.
Dude I don't think anyone has any money and I'm pretty sure inflation is being caused by some sort of coordinated covert attack...
no the overall auto market is up 10% so it can't be that
Stop shilling these garbage appliances
Because everyone who wanted one bought one already. You can't have infinitely increasing sales forever.
>the curve is now negative bro
If the sales are flat this year you're still proven wrong.
