That’s a bummer with the hate you have received. Portland has given its fair share.. I have even had friends of mine who didn’t yet know I drove one be like, “what Deuche drives that?”, to find out it’s me and they know who I am and my personality and feel kinda bad they judged so hard.
So in...
I see what you are saying, but a rebound from what? The numbers will be much higher than Q1. Even the Corolla had a 13% drop in Q1. F-Series, -25% drop. Tesla had a huge drop and had huge headwinds.. coming off their greatest quarter EVER. No brand went through more brand damage perceived...
Agree.. the sad reality and even Elon has mentioned this, is that most companies build lesser EVs than Tesla, or if they are decent, the are money sucks that cost the company more.. competition is good! If a car company can make a car better than Tesla as an EV, then great! We should be hoping...
This is slightly misleading though. Q1 the last two years were low (retooling M3 2024, retooling MY 2025). So of course those Q1 will look even worse than other Q1s that were bad in general as industry standards…Q3 and Q4 in 2024 were higher than Q3/4 in 2023, with Q4 2024 being their ALL-TIME...
Exactly.. media narratives that people listen to (most of which have negative agendas) are what drive the people judge how Elon is running his companies.. not the people in his companies he works with
Meh.. all the democrats that championed EM bailed.. politics does that to people. People that care too much about politics will flip their opinions based on what is in en vogue with their stated party. Happens in both sides equally… For the rest of us… Tesla and SpaceX will continue to make...
The iPad on the dash right behind the screen is just enough in the field of view that when watching it, the camera seems to think I am looking at the road.. no granted, I spend my time paying attention to the road, but I could peak at the redzone and it totally worked!
You are a good sport. She will come around lol. We watched NFL Redzone on a Sunday driving back from a vacation in the freeway with it in FSD and an iPad on the CT dash.. so great
Crazy contrast! I have had mine drive hours through the mountains and back with Mary and intervention.. people riding were blown away. Driving now is something fun to do, but not necessary. My wife loves to be able to chat with friends on trips and not have to be so focused on the road
A tale as old as time. Prototypes are easy, production (at a mass scale so as to make money) is hard… and going against Tesla that will drive you everywhere you want and you can read while doing it by 2027… ya.. cool concept and I hope they can do it, but if your car isn’t driving you in 2027…
Good post. I think they will have a hard time getting to full production and turning a profit. Prototypes are easy.. as they say.. but the business model is fascinating and just might work.. the problem will be that teslas will be full robotaxi and unsupervised.. buying a car without that in...
At that point, Tesla will be unsupervised autonomous and this company championed the fact that they don’t have self driving. Cool look and idea and I hope they do well… but
Best car I have ever driven.. not even close.. negative media and white liberal women middle fingers and laughing don’t even touch or deter me.. I can’t imagine going to any other vehicle.. I have had mine for almost a year
Fair.. not meaning to attack, was just curious…. Just want a company that seems to be making a good product to not dive into all that mess.. but I digress.. I deleted my post because I don’t feel this is the right forum or that it would elicit proper discussions and response.. cheers, can’t wait...
