GM is coming for Tesla's milkshake and tbh I think its going to be a big fucking deal across the board

to rehash my old riff; the single biggest fucking problem with EVs is range and GM is on the cusp of taking max range up over 30% of Tesla's average, which Tesla rarely if ever even comes close to in the real world.

and the reason this excites my pussy is because its going to compel Tesla to match or exceed that 400 miles per charge range average, and thats going to be an absolutely huge big swinging dick deal.

400 miles per charge = broad based acceptance. if you can drive 6 straight hours on an interstate without recharging, you have a whole ass car, not just something you can commute in and grab groceries with.

Every car manufacturer is on teslas tail now, i mean even Hyundai sold 70,613 BEV in 2020 and unless tesla they have a vast network of service stations etc

yeah but no one really had an emotional or psychological edge on tesla because teslas are such voluptuously gorgeous cars to drive. that range breakthrough = deep run time, unless tesla can come to market with something comparable.. which they obvo might because supposedly the roadster has like 550 miles range...

oh believe me, ive been keeping an eye on that shit.

normally i tend to brush off all the bearish tesla news but seriously wtf. its interesting to me that there isnt a class action over this, honestly i expected one by now.

Well i am back to hyundai again because beginning 2021 or so they had to replace batteries in some of their models costing them over 700 million, model Y issue is still in ligitation and "whompy wheels" issue is also still in ligitation, so is a dutch lawsuit und Bios corp, "whompy wheels" is a defect first coming up in china then north america/europe which tesla says its because of abuse c:,
it regards breakages of front and rear suspension linkages and ball joints which are universally used in all tesla cars if this goes tits up tesla has to replace them in all of their cars and that will cost them a lot of money - and there rears the service network issue its ugly head again i dont think tesla is able to do this in a timely fashion, not to speak off all the solarcity and musk not shutting his mouth and vomiting verbal diarrhea all over the SEC ligitations

clown show is never worth what is claimed

lmao uh oh

[sonatine]

i have to assume that when the cybertruck bombs, which it absolutely fucking will, elon will retire and focus on commercial satellite launches and hopefully solar and tesla will pick up the pieces and become an actual car company but faith is hard to come by at this point.

i mean honestly im clearly no ones idea of a 'hater' and if i bink a good run in teh options the first thing im doing after i pay off my mortgage is copping a roadster.

but writing/wall etc.

Did you know the solarcity CEO/CFO are his nephews? Musk bought them out with a very generous lumps sum even though the books are most likely cooked which is why its now its own lawsuit, musk in my opinion wants to pull a bilzerian in case everything goes tits up he got money stashed away with his nephews
