$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('theluckycountry', '[')b]Tesla's California sales down for seven straight quarters
https://www.reuters.com/business/autos- ... 025-07-22/
Quick irony update. Someone from a country that can't make cars whining about a SINGLE US state that makes them by the millions selling....fewer.
Talk about jealousy running rampant. Anyway...parrots can't think so obviously they miss the irony of their own post.

"Hey look Dad, a personal transporter!"
"Get back son, keep away from it"
"But it's full of metal Dad?"
"I know son, I know. But that's an old battery car and there as dangerous a hell"
"What do ya mean Dad?"
"Well they can blow up, at anytime, even just sitting there"
"Really?"
"Yes son. There once was a time when they'd only go off if the battery had power in it, but then they discovered that when all the chemicals inside degraded over time they formed an explosive like mix."
"Wow, How Dad?"
"I can't remember now son, it's been so long... There were a lot of things about those autos that were kept secret from people, and a lot of Lies were told. I was only your age then but my Dad told me how the revenuers tried to force everyone to buy one, and then it all fell apart. All I know is you treat em like a landmine. Lucky we saw it, lucky the drought killed back the grass."
"Oooo.. But what's it doin out here Dad?"
"Well when that era ended son no one wanted to scrap em because it was too expensive, the battery, it's not like the one we have at home, it's a sealed thing, and big, build all into the auto itself. The revenuers were charging the owners $10,000 to take em off the road, that was before the old currency collapsed. It wasn't a lot of money but the people were poor then like now so they just drove em out into the countryside till the battery went flat and pushed em off into the long grass."
"Wow Dad, you never told me any of this?"
"There's a lot a things I never told you son, and things I never will. It was a terrible time those days, back before the country was split and the Black men took the Southern half and went to war with the Mexicana. Anyway I'll tell the Sheriff we found this thing and then it'll be his problem, we gotta get home and we got a long ways to walk."

Fewer Than 400 EV Charging Ports Built Despite $7.5 Billion Biden Funding:

Beta Testers.
A beta tester, an individual who tests a product, software or hardware, in a real-world environment during its final stages of development. Their primary role is to provide feedback, identify bugs or issues, and assess the product's viability and performance in real-world scenarios.
That's the Battcar owner in a nutshell. And the beta is the version without a proper charging network, without the promised savings, etc etc. They paid a HUGE premium up front believing they would save a fortune on fuel but electricity you pay for out of your wall socket is still fuel. So they bent themselves into pretzels, installed expensive solar and expensive chargers, and then when they realized that the car was parked up overnight when the sun didn't shine they paid for an expensive house battery. All the while fussing over charge levels and daily plugin regimes.
Unlike other cars, they can't just park in the street. They can't travel somewhere unless there is a charge point on hand. In a sense they are trapped in the city, trapped in their own garage. This is a good thing since I don't live in the city and don't particularly want those sort of people out my way. They are not normal people, they are dreamers, they are fools, they are delusional and they never shut up about their Battcars. Vegan's on the prowl, always trying to convince people their way of life is the best. You can't talk to a vegan about anything to do with meat. BBQ's are off the topic list, as are nearly all restaurants you might favor. Even a local coffee shop breakfast becomes an opening for them to begin discussing their garbage. "Have some fried wedges" "What type of oil do they use? Do they cook meat products in it too?" You don't want vegans as friends or acquaintances believe me, they are simply too intense, to troublesome.
EVidiots are the same. Try planning a picnic out country with one
Or dare to discuss a new car you have your eye on. The latter is a perfect opening for them to start preaching the benefits of the Battcar and how you too can be monk living in your own city and rarely ever go beyond it. Just pay the extra $20,000, and another $10,000 for a powerwall and you're good to go! But what if we get a prolonged blackout, like after a cyclone? What if want to leave the city and weather it out far away? They have no handy answer for this and while everyone else is simply getting into their cars and driving when and where they choose, they are scrambling with apps to see what towns where have chargers and do they have the right credit app to access them, and are they on-grid even?
Beta Testers, and the results are in

Anyone with any experience knows you can safely drive through standing water if you maintain a moderate speed that creates a bow wave before you. If the water is deeper than you thought and the car starts to "float" simply open a door and let the water in. As long as it doesn't get higher than the air intake, unlikely with a bow wave pushing it away, you're good to travel through. Of course commons sense is required and that is something the average driver no longer possesses, so we see these idiots floating away, or drowned after trying to navigate flowing water. So the government's blanket advice is "if it's flooded, don't drive through." We get moderate floods out here all the time and the locals easily drive through flooded roads, but we mostly have cars with good clearances, not like a lot of the bitch boxes and sports cars you see getting around the cities. I've never seen a car stalled passing one of these low sections. Battcars? Not on your life!

So, those of us who drive them provide the following feedback....everything works as claimed, $/mile costs are microscopic, my first service was done on my EV at 6000 miles, it was a tire rotation, and it was free at the dealership. As was the tank of fuel they provided before giving the car back to the wife.
No battery degradation yet, the temperature of the air cooled battery pack hasn't gone above 60% of the total range, and that was in 100F heat while running on the interstate for 40 miles.
Haven't even had to put windshield wiper fluid in it yet.
Operating in EXACTLY the same manner as the last one. No maintenance, no problems, no trouble, pennies per mile fuel costs.
For the manufacturers who sell such things I can only say......
