2024 EV sales are only up 18%. 18% over what? Dammit where do you get your information? According to the provided search results, electric vehicle sales growth has slowed down in 2024. In the first quarter of 2024, Americans bought 268,909 new electric vehicles, a decrease from the previous quarter. The electric vehicle market share of total new-vehicle sales in Q1 was 7.3%, a decrease from Q4 2023. Tesla, the market leader, has been especially hard hit, with sales falling more than 13% during the first quarter of the year compared to the same period in 2023. The companyâs stock price has also dropped more than 30% this year. The slowdown in electric vehicle sales is attributed to various factors, including concerns about battery longevity, range anxiety, and the lack of charging infrastructure. Additionally, there is a gap between what car shoppers want and whatâs currently available in the market, making it challenging for automakers to meet demand.

I didn't say sales weren't down, I said they were 18%, or rather high. My buddy just picked up his Lightning, ill report back. He's selling his BMW 5 diesel.

I already know how this will age... At least he got out of the BMW. That's always a great move. The lightning is another story

G.M. Will Retire the Chevrolet Malibu to Make More Electric Cars The gasoline-powered Malibu was the last sedan sold by Chevrolet, the General Motors brand, in the United States.
Since the carâs introduction in the 1960s, G.M. has sold more than 10 million Malibus. But sales have slumped in recent years.
NYTimes
Neal E. Boudette By Neal E. Boudette May 8, 2024
General Motors said on Wednesday that it would stop making the Chevrolet Malibu, the last affordable sedan in its U.S. model lineup and a venerable nameplate that was introduced in the 1960s when the company was a dominant force in the U.S. economy.

This reminds me, it seems all the BMW drivers switched to Tesla. More often than not itâs now Tesla drivers driving like fuck heads and pissing me off while driving. I guess all douchebags and dumb bitches switched from one to the other.

I've noticed a few Ioniqs(sp?) around the streets lately. I guess other manufacturers are giving Tesla a bit of competition. Still not interested in them.

I never say never, but an ev will have to be a lot more palatable than they currently are for me. Heck I donât even like electric golf carts. Those little gas golf carts are awesome.

If you drive less than 100 to 200 miles a day, like to save money on car repairs and fuel, like 0 to 60 in <5 secs, like an motor that is 80% efficient rather than 25%, like the ability to charge from self sufficient solar sources, then an EV just may be for you.

I'll consider after you buy one.

Care to deep dive on what you mean by save money?

Saw a Tesla today and it had two electric bicycles hanging on a rack. I just had to laugh at the metrosexualâs. đ

EV,EV,EV âŚâŚâŚâŚ ?.?.?.?
Ok. How long does the battery last in a Tesla before it needs to be replaced? And -the big question - How much does it cost to replace the battery?
Batteries are not âforeverâ. They lose power with each recharge? Correct?
To judge how efficient EVâs actually are people need to know what the true maintenance costs are. This seems to be slightly hidden by manufacturers.
