Yes the Zeeker 001 is very impressive. Another 500kW+ charging EV is the Li Auto Mega van. https://insideevs.com/news/710508/li-auto-mega-fast-charging...

I am confident the technology issues will be solved having studied the market for many years. What you see now for products does not represent the state of the art which is mostly coming out of China. Most automakers are currently redesigni

Tax credits for EVs and the funding for charging in the IRA has been effective policy. The “bans” are just for show.

BEVs are likely already cheaper to produce than ICE/PHEV and that trend is going to continue. In automotive there is a pretty long lag between what is happening in new product development/the supply chain and what is reflected in

It doesnt even seem like it will utilize that much more land either. How much land does a Nuclear site take with all of the zones around it?

Heat pumps move heat so the heat from the waste water is still useful to them.

The transition to full AV-only roads will be slower and quicker than most people think. It will take a long time still for AV technology to be perfected, but once it is proven we will see various bans on human drivers coming in rather quick

HVDC transmission can help here as well.

The current Superchargers are not even 800v yet.

So true. Elsewhere in this thread I cited 3 major recent suspension recalls for issues that were as bad or worse than Teslas.

If you look at the things people care about in modern BEVs its easy to see why Tesla is winning. Price, range, charging speed & reliability, performance and software. It’s pretty obvious at this point with the entire auto indistry switc

It’s an intentional choice by both the automaker and the customer. If the reliability issues were so bad they affected sales significantly than Tesla would likely change. You see this all the time with every automaker. There will be various

If you read into these recalls all of them obviously affected safety of cars on the road which is why the recall was initiated. Carmakers often know of issues for years prior to a formal recall. This is standard.

Despite this hit peice they still make some of the best BEVs when you consider range, price, charging speed/network and software. These are things customers care the most about. Every brand has reliability and quality issues and tesla

It’s a very common recall area. You should really do some research. https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-recalls-defects/jee... https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/honda-crv-recall-2023-

By the mainstream media press sure. But are customers really following their bullshit? Tesla sales are still outpacing the entire BEV market except for BYD in China.

They have a pretty reliable service that will come to your house for most of the repairs. You should see if thats available in your area. I have a 2018 Model 3 and two friends have 2019s and we have not had these issues. I think they are o

Funny they write about Tesla which is selling like crazy with mostly satsified owners and a middle of the pack quality score. There are vehicles like the Cadillac Lyirq that have a near 100% issue rate. https://www.reddit.com&#x2

Rivians have lots of documented issues. It’s pretty much the case with every car. Tesla and Rivian are no different than other brands just because they are pure EV companies. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads&#

All cars have these issues. The article is more hit peice than real journalism which would include statsitics from all automakers. Remember we have lemon laws? Writing negative things about Tesla just gets more hits.

Utility scale battery storage is already here which solves that issue. The price of renewables + storage is cheaper (there have been PPAs in the 8-12 cent range). Also electric cars are not the demand generators that people think. I live i

Thats good for steady baseload but actually a problem since our demand is quite variable and spinning up and down Nuclear is hard.

Not comparable. Wholesale market vs residential price is not the same.
