"And yet, electric vehicles are piling up at dealership lots." November 1st 2023 ... other article is from April. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/01/why-dealers-say-ev-sales-have-slowed.html https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/01/why-dealers-say-ev-sales-hav... A entire youtube CNBC piece on this too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZlsZwcIgpc&t=10s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZlsZwcIgpc&t=10s But i can always go and check at various Telsa dealers as the media spins its own narrative ... Musk is now labeled pro-right. CNBC is more left ... not a fan of the news .. what to believe except EVs aren't for me as I drive frequently and many times in remote places.

That doesn't mean sales are down, it just means that they're being built faster than they're sold. Car manufacturers are already adjusting their build plans.

  Auto execs are coming clean:EVs aren't working https://www.businessinsider.com/auto-executives-coming-clean-evs-arent-working-2023-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/auto-executives-coming-clean...

    Again, basically evidence that sales aren't growing as quickly as thought, they still aren't down.

      just watch they are flat now and sales will decline and for the following reasons... - Musk allienated a portion of his customer base by jumping indirectly into the horse poo that is politics - Musk hates remote work because his customers are no longer commuters. Now a lot are remote work travelers and EV sucks for long road trips (time it takes to fill it at a charger & lack of comparably infrastructure to gas cars) especially in remote areas. - Musk only can sell his cars to upper middle class and to the rich ... apartment complexes do not have EV chargers. Funny reading all the upper middle class and rich folks trying to beat their drum and excitement for their EV and how they charge it at home. Ok that's cool but the average person is more of the population then you and they surely arent buying Telsas. - As you can see other car manufacturers are not having the same success with EVs that Telsa HAS HAD and now Telsa isnt anymore and for the noted reasons above. Im pretty forward thinking in what I say here (gets downvoted a ton) but my record of my forward thinking 7 out of 10 or more (most recently pointing out Cruise is no bueno months before they came clean noting the same thing; taking their robot training wheel cars off the road unfortunately after mangling an innocent pedetersian ) is on the money (intuition). No arrogance meant just my intuition is more right then not.

        [shrug] Whatever. I live in rural Minnesota and I'm seeing more EV's on the road every day now. Around here, at least, there are far more homeowners than there are apartment dwellers (not a lot of apt buildings on farmland!) so charging's not an issue.

        im not always right yet a lot of times my intuition is more right then wrong... but let's see :-) Also i forgot to mention... another reason I say all this is ive talked to people who out of nowhere say they loathe Musk too and would never buy a Telsa. These are wealthy folks! Also pointing to the disadvantages of owning one when they are now working remotely. Do you own one? Any buyers remorse now and or in a few years ;-) Time will tell :) *Not seeing a ton here in rural central PA by the MD line cheers
