Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Y'all have no idea what kind of efficiencies one can get when not bogged down by a century of doing things the old way.

Tesla invented the biggest die-casting presses in the world, and the rear half of the car is now a single piece. From 70 pieces and welds and connections, to 1 solid piece. They approach the car like they do a rocket and space constraints. View attachment 368670
Casting steel isn’t as easy as it sounds. It can cause air pockets in the steel, and is not as flexible as forged steel.

The bias here is hilarious.

The cybertruck is all steel, and that brought 20 pages of people saying steel is stupid or dangerous.

Now, aluminum is the weakness.

Y'all are going to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the future whether you like it or not, lol.

The average person can’t afford a Tesla. They may well be the great cars all you Tesla-bots say they are, it’s irrelevant to the average person. They’re not buying one. Until they become more affordable and more reliable across the board, not just Tesla, gas powered vehicles will still sell more. Right now EVs make up 2% of auto sales.

The gas-killer cometh. There will be a 300 mile range tesla for under 30k. And that's when you will hear the death-rattles in the throat of gas manufacturers.

They're already the most reliable across the board, if reliability means getting you where you want to go. Most have 2-3 independent motors. Failure becomes very hard. If you're talking build quality, Tesla has been low for years on that, because they're brand new expanding faster than anyone ever has expanded in history. And consumers don't seem to care. At all.

They're buying a million Teslas that don't have flush door panels when they could get an Audi or M-B.
