Seems Tesla and BMW have a lot in common.

And you do realize that most fires in ICE powered vehicles that aren't relatively new are a result of either lack of maintenance or lousy work. Christ, Tesla has had 6 recalls (as of 2018 )just for their 'S' model and that model has only been in production since 2012-13. 6 recalls, 7 years. What a piece of shit.

ROFLMFAO. They have batteries that are way too expensive to replace when they expire. Worth more than the value of the car. If that isn't planned obsolescence I don't know what is.

lets see: Tesla batteries are made to go 300-500K miles

They are warrantied up to 120k miles -/ 8 years nobody even knows how long they will last

In the near future they will be built to go a million miles.

Model 3 battery replacement costs are $5-7000 thousand dollars - which is far less than an engine replacement on any comparable ice vehicle.

But continue lying about ev costs.

You provide me with a much needed laugh every now and then

Model S taxi with high mileage

https://electrek.co/2018/07/17/tesla...miles-3-years/

Tesloop has incurred a combined maintenance cost of roughly $19,000 or about $0.05/mile. This cost breaks down to $6,700 for general vehicle repairs and $12,200 for regularly scheduled maintenance. The Model S’ full service record is available here. The record includes comparable estimated costs of running the service with a Lincoln Town Car instead of a Model S or Mercedes GLS class instead of a Model X. Tesloop estimates that a Lincoln Town Car or Mercedes GLS class’ combined maintenance cost to be around $88,500 ($0.22/mile) and $98,900 ($0.25/mile) respectively over 400,000 miles.

No doubt, but I do especially love the references to estimated costs and projected mileage, etc, etc

Seeing how they have no real time data, they can estimate and project all they want... Much like the company, those projections/estimations are entirely worthless

Tesla’s Model 3 Success Hits BMW the Hardest

Two years after the Model 3’s rocky debut, drivers like Woodruff have startled automakers with a sudden rush toward electric vehicles. In the U.S., Tesla’s sedan has taken over the luxury class, outselling the category-defining BMW 3 Series and Mercedes Benz C-Class combined. And it’s doing so at a higher price: The average Model 3 goes for around $50,000, which is more than any of the top 10 vehicles that buyers traded in from other brands, according to responses to Bloomberg’s Model 3 owners survey. No other sedan in America is generating more revenue.

In 10 years there will be enough EVs on the road in America to power the grid 10 times over.

So rather than worrying about EV's overwhelming the grid the world comes to understand that EV's will enable the grid

Sure. As long as they are plugged into diesel generators to charge the batteries first.

Green energy is killing jobs in Germany.

Germany’s economy may have narrowly avoided a recession, but the pressure on the country’s industry shows no sign of abating.

Daimler AG said this week it will shed 10% of management positions at its Mercedes unit, lifting the tally of job cuts announced this year across Germany’s manufacturing sector to more than 80,000, according to Bloomberg calculations.

Companies from Volkswagen AG to Siemens AG are letting go workers as Germany’s powerful automotive industry is struggling with a shift toward electrification and self-driving cars, and makers of machinery and robots are hit by slower exports and trade disputes.

Short-term work is at its highest in more than 3 years
While the country’s unemployment rate, at 5%, remains close to its historic low, the number of freelancers is rising and short-term work has been creeping up since last year. Automotive companies in particular have also started to shed thousands of jobs. Daimler alone pledged to cut a total of at least 1.4 billion euros ($1.5 billion) in personnel expenses -- potentially putting many more jobs at risk.

The full effect of the cuts may not be felt immediately. German labor laws and powerful unions make it difficult to fire workers, and many large companies have agreements banning forced dismissals, meaning job-cut programs have voluntary elements and sometimes run for years.

Still, the deteriorating prospects for employment could turn into a headache for the German government, which has been considering following countries from China to the U.K. in beefing up investments to stimulate its economy.

Here is a rundown of the main job cuts announced since the beginning of the year by German industrial companies. The tally includes foreign corporations that have announced cuts affecting staff in Europe’s biggest economy. It excludes the financial industry, cuts that remain unconfirmed, and programs where companies have not yet specified how many jobs will go.

Only in old neighbourhoods. New streetlights are LED and don't need the current the old HIDs required.

It only took 60 years to improve the lux output of an LED.

The grid still needs expensive upgrades to handle EVs and all the damn electric heat, AC,cooking and gadgets hitting the market.

Do you know the cheapest way for power companies to meet the needs of the future of an antiquated grid?

Create a boogieman and get you to pay for solar panels on your roof. They will gladly pay you 1/3 of the market value per kWh of extra energy you think you will sell to offset the costs.

Guess what? You'll pay income tax and carbon tax on what you produce as well and will never recover your investment.

Do you really think you won't be paying a buck a kilowatt or more to charge an EV?

To bad the rest of the state is burning down supplying the current.

Also, you'd figure they would also put toilet paper rollers on those lamp posts.
