$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('theluckycountry', 'N')ow where are all those EV long haul trucks, and grain harvesters, and D-10s


Doing better than Australian vegemite launchers. Why? Because Australians can't do anything.

Americans however, at least with trucks....that Australians can't build with ICE engines....are doing ok. Old news as well. Where have you been, parrot?

Tesla began delivering heavy-duty electric trucks, known as the Semi, to PepsiCo in California in December 2022, with the first trucks going to PepsiCo's Frito-Lay plant in Modesto and beverage plant in Sacramento. These initial deliveries marked the first commercial use of the Tesla Semi, which is designed to carry freight between Tesla's factories in Nevada and California for testing and refinement.

It's over, suck it up, deal with the consequences. You now have the enormous public tax bill you accrued for cheerleading this transition to Green cars. Did you switch from steak to chicken and ground beef a couple of decades ago? Now it's time to switch to breakfast cereal and other processed GMO Corn products.

There is no escape you know, you have to pay for this shit. And with the new A.I. bubble, a unique US mania btw, you have to pay up as well. Not just higher power bills, but higher taxes and reduced pension payments, all going to the corporate oligarchs feeding at the trough. Jeff Bezos is a bald headed nobody but he has you by the balls and every overpriced order you make on Amazon just enriches him more and more. But hey, what would I know? I'm just the Aussie who predicted all this from the beginning and tried to warn you. But you wouldn't listen... You chose to believe the TV set instead.

<sigh...>

You are right. It is time for the EV to get its tires rotated. <sigh> 11k miles and all it has needed is a little window washer fluid.

The ICE machines have just been sitting. I'm hoping to get the new motorcycle back this week though! Hard to find a front tire for it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mousepad', '

EV that are useful lol. What a sense of humor you had. Of course none of that matters now does it. Now it's just the cleanup after the party.

A drop in the bucket compared to the losses from the battcar sector. Once Tesla rolls over it will push it into the high trillions. The end of the oil age and they had to waste untold 'oil' building this fiasco. Well that's the good ol USofA for ya, they started the bubble, they start all this crap so it's only fair they they suffer the most from it's fallout.
Losses in Australia? Just a thousand odd chargers and whatever the middle class yuppies wasted on them. Electric cars make up less than 2% of the vehicles on Australian roads. Negligible.

Hardly....Americans figure those out by the time they hit puberty. In your case they probably have to teach it in high school or something....but haven't missed that, so there is little chance that you have any clue what they are.

One they don't teach in school...you love your children even if they turn out to be shits. The parents job is to try and not teach them to be shits, but regardless they are yours.

I am sorry you are embarrassed by your son. You have my condolences. Did you at least teach him how to ride a motorcycle?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')hinese EV sales are not collapsing but are experiencing a severe downturn driven by overcapacity, intense price wars, and intense competition, leading to thousands of dealership closures and bankruptcies among smaller manufacturers.

Oh, so it's alright then? Just a... blip, like what happened in America in the last year. I guess that's good news is it? Or is it just, not so bad news? I wish kub was here to spin these realities into tall tales of Hopium.


So is it this.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'U')S electric vehicle (EV) sales plummeted in October 2025 following the expiration of federal tax credits, dropping roughly 49% from September and about 30% year-over-year. The decline is largely attributed to the loss of the $7,500 tax incentive


Plummeted. That's a bit strong isn't it? Kub? Kuuuub?

It is called market economics. Supply/demand/price curves, etc etc. Those with firing neurons take advantage of such things, the discounts I got on my new EV..... DAY YAM!!!!

I understand you don't get any of it, the economics, or the value of cages that have microscopic running costs.

Find a 12 year old who can read and explain the basics of economic theory too you from wiki. Or try night school, a couple years and you'll graduate at the Australian high school level....ought to make you as educated as the average American 8th grader.

Yes that's right, it took an aussie to point all this out, but to no avail, the Battcar junkies just doubled down this year, sucked in by the Big Savings before the tax credits expired. What's next? A mile by mile charge to use the roads of course, can't let these rabbits off that lightly. It's already being implemented in the UK. Elon just has to give the government access to "Your" data and you're stitched up like a cheap beanie baby

Vietnam was like a little china, it's Battcars doing well overseas with the Green dreamers.

VinFast’s third-quarter loss widened to 24 trillion dong ($910.85 million) from 13.25 trillion dong a year earlier, according to the company’s Friday earnings report. The company’s shares dropped more than 5% in premarket trading following the announcement.

The quarter’s negative 56.2% gross margin represents a dramatic deterioration from the already-troubling negative 24% margin reported in Q3 2024. The company attributed the worsening economics to “higher warranty provision rates and cost of vehicle sold.”

CHINA

This was the one kubby was pushing forward two years ago when the rest of the World's sales were cratering. He didn't come right out and say it, just hid the info in "Global EV sales". Well they were still selling lots, but now they have reached PeakEV. That point where everyone in a nation who wants one, has one, and the rest just give them the middle finger. Don't forget, all the sales data comes from the Chinese who are bold faced Liars when it comes to their statistics, so cut all the figures in half.

Electric vehicle sales in China grew 32% between January and September this year, less than half of last year’s 83% surge. That slowdown signals a clear shift: the gas-to-electric transition has plateaued. That's ya keyword Timmy, arriving at PeakEV.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]China’s electric vehicle powerhouse is starting to lose some of its spark. After years of explosive growth fueled by generous subsidies and sky-high demand, the once-dominant market is now feeling the weight of its own success. Sales are slowing, major cities have hit saturation, and global regulations are tightening. What was once a runaway success story is now entering a new, more uncertain phase—one defined by consolidation, strategy shifts, and a fight to maintain global influence.
https://autopostglobal.com/car-news-ind ... 154/?amp=1

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')t home, overproduction is becoming an even bigger problem. China’s automakers built nearly twice as many vehicles as they sold last year—about 55 million units in total, with only 26.9 million sold domestically and 5.9 million exported.

If only I'd been in charge of this, I could have saved the world trillions of dollars in stranded assets. I would have deported Elon Muck back in 2008 and told the Battcar makers they best not engage in any false marketing or they'd be fined heavily. Stupid Americans and their bubble economy :roll:
