  1. Most people who own older homes also don’t normally buy EVs due to income. Plus there are work arounds that have been developed for houses with 100 Amp service. Some electric companies offer incentives/rebates to upgrade service. Here is one example: https://www.firstenergycorp.com/help/electric-vehicles/nj-ev/new-jersey-ev.html
  2. Because of profit margins with smaller electronic devices, where most batteries have been used. I'm sure there are companies in the USA now working on different types of battery cells due to the demand.
  3. Nah, I was raised by someone who worked for the UAW and I was on strike when I was 17 years old working at a local grocery store for a few weeks. My old man said the union was pretty much useless outside of him being able to retire a little early due to the Edison plant being shutdown. The issue is that the vast majority of the time, the union is a self serving entity with ties to ideologies I don't particularly care for. Demographically unions may have more influence due to a shortage of workers due to smaller cohorts and labor becomes harder to fill in certain positions. But to blindly put your faith into a union is downright stupid.
  4. The Outback Is nothing more then the Legacy Wagon. Then again the SGP platform underpins almost all of the Subaru products being sold outside of the BRZ and Solterra.
  5. Cause it was put out during a shareholder meeting and not Musk directly? As for them being able to do it in 2025, well that is the question.
  6. https://www.autoblog.com/2024/04/23/tesla-stock-surges-as-ev-maker-says-it-will-accelerate-the-launch-of-cheaper-cars

  8. Not to mention $170 million isn't really that much-Ford is investing roughly that in multiple subassembly plants (engines/transmission) with the new UAW contract.
  9. It has a decent starting price for its size, but damn I was looking at the local dealerships and most of them are $45-50K, which is insane.
  10. But there are a lot of variables with that- Not everyone will be at 0-10% when they recharge Fast charging is level 3 that can recharge a 60 kwh battery in under 30 minutes from empty. Superchargers can charge battery's to 80% in 15 minutes.
  11. I live in the one of the densely populated places in the world, and my mass transit options are fairly limited for local use. For example, I can't even get to work (yeah its only about 15 miles away one way) using mass transit.
