All electric mode range is higher with PHEVs due to bigger battery, but it depends on the make and model. I’m seeing PHEVs getting up to 60 miles in all electric
mode, which is right at my sweet spot for daily commutes.

So much easier to do and way, way less expansive than opening a new gas station. These will everywhere sooner than you think.

Teslas at the Waffle House?
Tesla now accepting cybertrucks as trade ins; but taking big 34% 1 year
depreciation.
Tesla sold a brand-new 2024 Cybertruck AWD Foundation Series for $100,000. Now, with only 6,000 miles on the odometer, Tesla is offering $65,400 for it – 34.6% depreciation in just a year.
Pickup trucks generally lose about 20% of their value after a year and 34% after about 3-4 years.
Tesla starts accepting Cybertruck trade-ins, confirms insane depreciation | Electrek.
It seems quite possible that EV’s are this generation’s Hula Hoop.
Maybe the cybertruck.

I think the cybertruck is more this generation’s Edsel. EV’s are showing good adoption
sales numbers.

They keep hating on Tesla over and over again. They can’t help themselves.

Anyone else noticed electric mowers have essentially hit price parity with gas?
This is coming with cars too. Just a matter of time when economies of scale, across the industry, savings really start to kick in.

Did you watch this and pay attention or just get all excited about the EV depreciation?
The Cybertruck is this generation’s Pontiac Aztek.
It sounds great in concept, except they designed it like an early Nintendo 64 rendering of a truck.

You Tesla doom and gloom guys. Check out this chart and see how far ahead they are of everyone else. It’ll probably hurt to see this through lens of your politics, but they are great cars.
Indeed they are still the market leader in US sales if that’s all you look at. But you need to look at what the trend is for them in the US. It’s negative. That’s what real story is. And that’s just facts.
Oh, if you care about the world at large, Tesla sales have gone negative in
China and Europe too.
And if you need more proof of the state of Tesla, there are always the financials
Here are the key numbers compared with LSEG expectations.
- Earnings per share: 27 cents adjusted vs. 39 cents estimated
- Revenue: $19.34 billion vs. $21.11 billion estimated
Net income plummeted 71% to $409 million, or 12 cents a share, from $1.39 billion or 41 cents a year ago.
If that makes you feel better, good for you.
My feelings really don’t come into play on this. I’m interested
in EVs from an investment and technological perspective. And as a future vehicle I
may want to purchase. All the data I can find is all I want.
Don’t you suspect the cybertruck will have to be discontinued at some point this year ?
