Excerpt...

“In November, the Associated Press reported on a Consumer Reports survey that found EVs from the 2021 to 2023 model years are significantly less reliable than gasoline-powered vehicles.

A whopping eighty percent less reliable, according to the AP, particularly with battery and charging systems, as well as fit issues with body panels and interiors.”

Far worse, disastrous, government policies continue because the government rarely reports honestly to shareholders. In private enterprise when you really screw up, you get canned. Not in government. Hence, Biden, Newsome, Harris, Schiff, ...

They canned him for a disastrous EV program then replace him with a guy from GM’s Cruise unit?

Just last December: “General Motors’ troubled Cruise autonomous vehicle unit is cutting over 900 jobs, about a quarter of its workforce, as it moves to reduce costs and remake itself after a series of safety problems in San Francisco.

The subsidiary announced the cuts Thursday in a letter to Cruise’s 3,800 workers from President and Chief Technical Officer Mo ElShenawy, who wrote that the layoffs are not the fault of the workers.”

The problem with a used EV is that it is not a used car. It is a used battery.

At least he has admitted he made a mistake. That’s more than we can say about lots of other CEO’s.

One would think they would have incorporated a little bit of due diligence and study the infrastructure before they made such a drastic plunge into the EV mark.

Yes and we like to point out the problems and government tyrant over EV’s.

But note the headline. Ever since Elon Musk began to advocate for Free Speech and other common sense principles...

It has become open season not in EV’s but on Tesla.

At first they were overt, quoting democrats saying they didn’t want to be seen in a Tesla.

Now very article about Elon and his cars and his other companies, has become a hit piece. The left wing media will even acknowledge the dangers of Teslas but only Teslas.

When you return the EV and it’s not fully charged do they make you wait around until it’s charged and charge you for the extra time , LOL

You also have to recognize that even a minor fender bender can total the car if the battery is damaged. I’m sure that caused their insurance premiums to skyrocket. Also, these cars have little resale value.
