A lot of Americans also say that they'll only buy "American made cars" but when you present them the list of most "American made" vehicles (Tesla, Toyota, Honda, etc.) they all say "not those cars." We Americans, as a general rule, have a very skewed idea of what's made in America and really just mean the perceived American vehicle brands, even though the next week these same people will complain about these same brands they pledge to patronize closing plants and shipping jobs to Mexico.

I think losing the tax credit will maybe hurt tesla more than Musk might think. The model 3 starts in the low 40s, a hybrid camry starts in the low 30s, if a shopper just wants to save money on gas and doesn't care about the extra features that price difference looks pretty big. However, with the tax credit at point of sale the price is really comparable making the model 3 the no brainer in that 2 car comparison.

Kyle's content and style was getting old, and all of his more talented staff, such as Max and Francie, had left.

This system does not appear to be standards based, it appears to be a proprietary, hybrid AC/DC systems similar to the Ford/SunRun system. Use with a NACS connector for anything beyind grid-down power backup will be technically difficult due to the lack of seperate AC and DC wires in the connector. Tom is correct that inexpensive, transfer switch based grid-down AC backup should be an offering. Using the NACS connector, proper V2X systems need to be either entirely AC or entirely DC. Entirely AC systems like the Tesla solution will be a hard sell to the utilities, since they basically allow roaming, potentially uncertified (by them) inverters to connect and interact with the grid. Entirely DC solutions (such as the Enphase prorotypes) with off-board inverters seem to be the most likely solutions to be accepted by the utility, and also allow a DC home charger to bypass the power limitations of the AC on-board charger.
@nc3826 2 күн бұрын
That was all mentioned in the post.... The problem is there's no standard.... Just a lot of protocols.... But at least what Ford and GM is doing is more flexible, than what Tesla is offering.
@chriswestenskow5202 2 күн бұрын
@ The protocols are what the finalized standards will be comprised of. The problem is that none of them for V2X are finalized and when they do become finalized, most of the EVs on the road may not be able to be updated to support them. Ford, Telsa and GM all decided not to wait. Enphase is developing solutions based on the developing standards, but will not likely release a product offering until the standards are agreed to. I’m not a fan of the Tesla approach because it is the most proprietary and is entirely dependent on the on-board charger being bidirectional. I believe this also causes there to be a limitation that the EV can not provide inverter power to loads while AC charging. The inverter being “mobile” may also cause much grief for many utilities for any use case that involves the grid being operational (arbitrage, peak shaving etc.) The Ford and GM solutions are variations on a theme and are based on more or less “standard” solar inverters, with one of the battery inputs going to the EVs battery through the DC charging wires. I like that they use wall mounted inverters, since that is more likely to be accepted by nearly all utilities. The system the Enphase has prototyped works much more seamlessly, and I believe it will use DC charging to overcome the limitations of the NACS connector.
@nc3826 2 күн бұрын
Protocols are not standards.... Even after they are officially finalized they will allow more than one way to perform a task.... Such as how energy is transferred from the vehicle to the home or grid via AC or DC.... Both will be an available option.... It's one of the reasons why CCS, DCFC has been so problematic in NA ... In Europe they created standards and in North America they simply defaulted to what Tesla was offering.... Since The supercharger Network Was so much more reliable vs CCS... What can I say sometimes a closed ecosystem monopoly is just more efficient.... V2X Is about a decade behind DCFC In terms of standardization and interoperability....

Politics of Elon Musk aside, me and my wife saw a lot of negatives in Tesla vehicles long before the CEO went rogue in politics. Just a few: still harsh ride, unreliable front wheel control arms, unreliable door handles, low profile tires prone to flats if the potholes are on the road, coupefied unpractical rear with not so much headroom in the rear, unusable third row seats, compromised luggage compartments due to coupe shape, inability to have a proper sunroof, inability to have a factory solution to shade the glass rooftop, if anyone tries to install an aftermarket luggage rack on Tesla a slight misalignment will crack that expensive roof, very shody brake disk material - rottens out in a salty winter up north, inability to give some accommodation for drivers coming from ICE world - impossibility to switch off one pedal driving, lack of turning signal stalks, lack of a display in front of the driver, no head up display on winshield, even lack of drive forward or backwards choice except from the main screen, inconvenient changing port in the rear even for towing rated Teslas like Cybertruck or Model X, unreliable chicken wings on Model X, uncomfortable seats with no massage, no ventilation, frameless doors in 2-3 years do not seal the rubber properly whistling in cold winter, no apple car play or android auto, shoddy job with automatic rain sensors, easy breaking windshield wipers motors, still considerable fantom drain of high voltage battery after so many years of development. Frankly speaking Tesla are not even cars but automotive gliders with somewhat decent computer inside, decent motors, improving battery. Tesla Superchargers cannot provide current for 800 V type for its own 800 V vehicle - Cybertruck.

We do enjoy ventilated seats in the front of both vehicles. Yes, the seats in the Bolt are less comfortable than in any Tesla. However the ride is very supple for such a small vehicle.

If you buy a Tesla, part of the profit on that car is financing the Trump agenda on abortion, mass deportations, climate change denial, etc.

I get wanting to fight for Tesla, but it's no longer about protecting the fledgling EV company from douchebags rolling coal at them, it's about people voting with their feet after Elon took a pretty definitive stance in opposition to what's probably a substantial majority of his customers (and IMO to the detriment of most of the world's population). If Elon can make an environmentalist out of Trump then he'll have redeemed himself to a degree, but if he's supporting the guy who's all about killing emissions regulations and pulling the States out of the Paris agreement, then that undoes a lot of what he's accomplished with Tesla, at least as I see it.
