You can combine Ford's Rivian's and Lucid's EV sales together, and Tesla still sold nearly twice the number of Xes/Ses alone in Q1. With nearly a year long waiting times someone else will take your car... (That seal piece has been like that for a decade. So don't hold your breath for Tesla to fix it)

[@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife]

@@Superman-xr1oh not wrong. They have SUCH compelling technology and a awesome charging network to boot but screw it all up with shit like needlessly keeping around a useless proprietary connector that prevents Tesla's from getting true DC fast charging on other networks (like EA) and even more annoying they force feature like the SI shifter, incessant button removal, and dumb steering wheel designs just because retro themed video games popularized this dumb ideal of we thought the future would look like. It changes every few years. I mean it went from the Jetsons to Cyberpunk 2077. Why makes such integral design changes to reflect something that is constantly in flux? It performs like shit and will have zero percent chance of aging gracefully. Hopefully the other OEMs eventually catch up to Tesla's tech level in 25 years when the true age of the end of ICE is approaching. Until then, I will be an outsider driving hybrids.

In the last month let’s see… $70,000 E-Tron, $75,000 Rivian, $127,000 Tesla Model S Plaid… So roughly $272,000 in one month. Is Out of Spec really getting that many subscribers and views?

[@42dunbar]

I was thinking the same thing. Resale values are strong so in theory they shouldn’t lose much money if they sell them within a year. Plus a lease can written off as a business expense. But I heard a Plaid lease is around $2k/mo. Add around $900 for the E-Tron and about the same for the Rivian and that’s a ~$4k monthly nut just in car payments.

That dealership looked like a ghost town unlike our's over here in the Orlando, FL area. I took delivery of my MYP last Thursday and that place was a zoo. There were four people including myself taking delivery of our new cars at the same time. And all four of us were complaining about the condition of our brand new cars. Stupid things like really crappy prep work as in pre-delivery washing and whatnot. But we were all complaining about minor issues with our cars as well. My MYP had some sort of sticky residue on the passenger side door paint. The interior had someone's grubby fingerprints. That person must have had a lot of hand lotion on their hands because there were white fingerprint marks all over the place on my black interior. My wheels on my car looked like hell. I was so disappointed how this dealership thought it would be acceptable to deliver someone's $70K in the crappy appearance that mine was. Again, I wasn't the only one that was complaining either.

Good to see someone who just likes EV's and doesn't care who makes them. The Tesla vs non Tesla nonsense you see most places is very tedious. Personally I had one of the very old Model S P85+ (back when they were single motor RWD which was interesting) and am currently waiting on a Kia EV6 GT Line S AWD which is due in about a month. I would happily have another Tesla in the future if I liked the model and the price was right (unfortunately the S is too expensive for me these days and am not keen on the 3 or Y) but equally love lots of other EVs.

Because like Kyle said, it's a modern take on a muscle car and muscle cars go straight. They don't really handle. E.g. Mustang, camaro, anything formerly dodge.

[@davidnielson9139]

As Kyle stated, the Taycan is still likely at least a year away. In the meantime, he can make a bunch of videos on the Plaid and, in a year (with current car prices) he can likely sell it for about the same price he paid for it. Sure, he'll have spent a bit of money on "upgrades" (tires, steering wheel, paint protection, etc.), licensing, insurance, etc.; but he'll likely make the money back (and some profit) on the videos he makes with the Plaid -- and if car availability hasn't improved (it may get worse for EVs as demand for raw materials for batteries is severely out pacing demand) he may actually sell the car for over what he bought it for.
