Is Canada ready for the coming electric vehicle revolution?

Guess you're just not a risk taker.

Explains some things.

I deal in sure things.......I had solar panels on my fifth wheel trailer...but I also had a honda 2000 generator as a backup!
In 15 seasons years of traveling, I've had to use it every year at least a couple of times....
You SAY you have solar panels on your house?
Are you ready to cut off the hydro?....Are you just not a risk taker?

The ignore function is for sissies with no self control.....I can choose for myself to answer or not answer......

[DaSleeper]

So am I......haven't figured how to ignore that yet.

Even after 25 years.....takes time I suppose.

You'll learn that sometimes keeping your mouth shut is the wisest thing......
It gets easier with the years.....:lol:

Even better than"Yes Dear"

And even if you don't need a hearing aid ....you can always pretend!

Tesla Model 3: Elon Musk's mass-market car is a magic carpet ride - LA Times

review of the Tesla Model 3 - the most anticipated car in history.

450,000 people have put $1,000 down on one.

Goes to show how many stupid people there are in the world to put $1K down on a car that hasn't even been built yet.

 

[petros]

What is the projected number of units they can actually deliver?

 

[petros]

No idea.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

Sure.

It does show demand though.

How does than rank against other car models? Raw numbers can show anything you want them too.

What is the projected number of units they can actually deliver?

They can project anything. They have actually delivered 0.

 

[petros]

They can project anything. They have actually delivered 0.

Stellar.

 

[Hoid]

I believe Tesla sold 100K cars in 2017.

Tesla fell short on its Model 3 production goals again — but its latest numbers and past history offer some hope
Troy Wolverton Jan 4, 2018, 5:48 PM ET
Here we go again. Tesla's got a new car model, and it's having trouble meeting its production targets. On Wednesday, the electric vehicle maker said just how far it was falling short in meeting its goals for its new Model 3. While company CEO Elon Musk had projected Tesla would make 20,000 Model 3s, it actually only made 2,425 - about 12% of that forecast. And the situation doesn't look like it will get better soon; after initially saying it planned to make 5,000 Model 3s a week by the end of last year, it now doesn't expect to hit that production target until the end of the second quarter.

450,000 pre sold vehicles.

what a terrible thing

It proves that abortion is wrong.

hey have no manufacturing capacity.

only an idiot would pre-purchase a vehicle from a supplier that can't build the product

 

[petros]

20,000 is their production target.

1 day's worth of F150s

But, but, 450,000 presold! As usual, Hoid, aka Flossy, exists only to stir the pot. He adds nothing to any conversation, and is devoid of facts.

But he is funny. A dullard, but funny. I'm quite sure he will quote more of his unsubstantiated "facts" shortly.

If you don't accept his lies, be warned! He will put you on ignore. :lol:

 

[captain morgan]

20,000 is their production target.

Great... In only 20 short years, Tesla will have delivered all of those pre-sold vehicles.

Revolution?? More like "electric vehicle trickle"! I and most people we know are happy with our vehicles and will likely trade them in on something similar when the time comes! We also have to keep the oil workers working!

Self-driving cars will leave 'THIRD of population JOBLESS' as AI sparks MASS UNEMPLOYMENT

A THIRD of the population faces sickening unemployment because of self-driving cars, a damning prediction reveals.


Vehicles that transport people using artificial intelligence are on course to become a frequent sight on our roads.

But if they are thrust into the mass market and prove popular, an expert has warned they will wreak havoc on the global economy.

Professor in Computer Engineering, Dr Subhash Kak, believes a third of jobs will be lost soon after their introduction.

It comes after his bombshell prediction, given to this website, that AI will "sink the world into unemployed despair" in a hellish "dystopia", because humans will be put out of work.

But the machines will also eliminate jobs at welfare too ( hey BOOMer!), so the savings should be huge.

sort of.

 

[Curious Cdn]

That and other types of automation will leave 9/10ths of the population unemployed. We had better figure out a way of providing them with a living of that magic 1/100th of the population that controls 4/5ths of the World's wealth will find themselves lined up to get their heads lopped off.

jobs are neither created or destroyed, they just change.

 

[JLM]

No worries, the displaced workers will be kept busy cleaning up after all the resulting accidents, including funeral directors and undertakers, doctors and nurses.

P.S. I'm already starting to rethink this given the number of lousy drivers we presently have on the roads.
