Year-on-year EV sales are growing steadily, unlike pure petrol/diesel.

Methinks the Times are comparing apples with oranges to create a headline.

And this from Bloomberg - Driverless cars are going nowhere!

Times says EV sales are falling (in UK) as rate rise s bite

'Like giving away caviar to buy a $2 slice of pizza': Tesla tumbles 4.2% amid fears Musk will offload stock to fund Twitter deal

Optimus can water plants and will cost less than a car! might be cheaper to employ a handyman/gardenerr LOL LOL

Elon Musk Will Buy Twitter

But Cathy was busy buying yesterday. Seems to me the problems will start when the factories - particularly in Germany have to close in the winter due to lack of power. Musk must be loving the US Govt. for (allegedly) destroying Nordstream

More empty promises from the AI day too.

[gaffer73] 03/10/2022 10:29

Yep, delivery numbers dropping below estimates now. If this recession actually appears Tesla will be hit really hard. High end nice to have's always are.

I get the feeling that Optimus was a bit of a let down

[hosede] 30/9/2022 18:37

Big show tonight I believe and Qtrs sales etc. figures should be out over the W/E

[hosede] 27/9/2022 16:46

Polestar has fallen quite heavily in the last ten days. Don't know what's keeping this up.

A bit like Free beer - tomorrow

#9848 No it wouldn't. Boris said it was free energy from wind turbines... Ha ha, yes the promise of free energy. Whatever happened to that!

[dominiccummings] 26/9/2022 19:03

I can assure the thread that charging my model 3 is a fraction of the cost of petrol.

bluster - but if at home you were paying the real cost for the electricity, and not the subsidised price, it would around the same price as running on petrol, if not more.

[gaffer73] 26/9/2022 13:29

Not by much. If everyone switches to electric cars that would force the price of electricity even higher. We don't have the infrastructure in place to move to an electric car country. In fact we are years away from it.

[blusteradjuster] 26/9/2022 11:24

If you charge at a premium-cost fast-charger station.

Most people charge at home.

[gaffer73] 26/9/2022 10:44

"Cost of charging an electric car surges by 42% - with prices nearing the same as petrol" Not worth the extra money at the moment.

But a battery that has enough power is going to have be heavy to contain all that heat or it will be very dangerous

[gaffer73] 25/9/2022 16:12

New battery technology is needed. There isn't enough Lithium to replace ICE cars. I imagine there'll be a new 'fuel' to replace batteries in the future.

[hosede] 25/9/2022 13:30

I wonder if Musk and a whole lot of his competitors are headed in completely the wrong direction - in trying to produce high powered long range EVs. Unless some new magic technology appears, these are all inevitably go to need large heavy and expensive batteries - putting them beyond the reach of the average "man in the street" - a problem that is only going to be made worse by the coming depression.
Leaving global warming aside, pollution by ICEs is essentially a city problem.
Are we not therefore much more in need of small inexpensive short range (30-40 miles)EV's - with lots of charging points in the inner cities.? We have had electric milk floats since 1951.
Time will tell.
