General EV Discussion

[dkazzed]

At $42,140 plus tax, there are few vehicles with comparable passenger room that are less expensive, and only because of EVAP in most cases.

Chevrolet Equinox EV LT FWD
Ford Mustang Mach-E Select
Kia EV4 Light and Wind
Kia EV5 Light FWD
Toyota BZ XLE FWD

To name a few. Until some additional Chinese manufacturers enter the market.

^^^If one wants a Model 3, well, that's hard to say no to. 

Elon Musk aside, they're good EV's. 

No, it's easy to say "no" to supporting a white nationalist.

It goes like this: NO.

See? Easy.

In other news, according to AN Canada, Chery and Zeekr are hiring in Canada. Zeekr had a sleek downtown showroom in Amsterdam, and lots of cars Zeeking around too over there.

Tesla Model 3 starting price, as per their website here in the US this morning is $36,990. The website is also pushing a $299/month lease rate. That is pretty cheap...From a strictly utilitarian perspective I can understand why people buy them. Not a ton of them around my area, but the major cities have tons of them. In LA the majority of the Uber/Lyft vehicles I see are Tesla Model 3.

 I wouldn't buy a Tesla because of Musk but maybe the lower price may spur others to do the same.
I know he didn't invent the Tesla but he owns the company. I just can't stand him.

I took plenty of crap early on for calling him a Grade A charlatan (and likely racist) when everyone else was blowing him.

Boy, was I wrong.

He turned out to be so much worse.

Only about 15% or so.  The rest is publicly traded...
