Meanwhile, in the real world, the Tesla Model Y was the best selling car in the world in the first quarter of this year. Not just the best selling electric car, mind you, but the best selling car period.

You give any vehicle a 20K rebate and it will instantly become a best seller.

I heard Tesla repossesses their own cars, which would leave that data out of the charts on how many wannabes go underwater

Maybe not. Real heat (100F plus or so) saps as much potential energy as cold weather. It really is warming for real now, whether man made or not....

EVs are not clean vehicles. We know it, its all BS. And they are unsafe.

I've seen "one" Tesla in n ID. Three plus hours north, a realtor in Kootenai county. According to him it was pre-owned from a local car dealer and it was on a one week trial drive. He said he was turning it back in.

Not surprised in Canaduhhhh they would risk driving an ev in harsh environments....heck many have been so brainwashed they willingly turned-in their firearms.

Meanwhile, every EV driver either gets a period or wish she/it did.

Its OK if it all comes apart Elon has made his billions, Pelosi has made millions along with others, next up - insiders make big money on AI tech. Pelosi's answer to insider trading was, "...we liven in a free market society". Meaning if I get the scoop on an investment from secret knowledge that's just tough toenails for everybody else.
