>>1488% of cars will be ev by 2040

Corporate magic, by pouring money back into there company they are declaring that money spent as a loss, which allows them to play the system and not be taxed heavily.

>1488%
hehehe

>Elon Musk and other investors became rich from it.
Musk became rich from Paypal, he's lost money on Tesla and Space X so far. The only people who have made money on Tesla are people that bought stock which was later driven up massively by speculation.

I just want a sports-intended EV. If the model S, weighing 5,000 pounds, can pull 0-60 in two seconds, then shaving that weight would only be better. At least maybe make it handle a bit better, maybe give it a higher top speed than 125.

Corporate magic doesn't explain the fact that they make zero profit per car sold in fact they lose 15000USD for every car they sell.

It's being propped up by investors as speculation that they will make money some time in the future, GM went bankrupt while they were making a profit higher than Tesla ever dreamed of making. At a sign of economic crisis coming Tesla will go bankrupt.

Fast recharging has been shown to not reduce the battery health of even small EV batteries like in the Leaf. What reduces battery life is extended exposure to high temps. Also the larger the batteries get, the less wear and heat they will suffer from when fast charging. Remember, fast chargers provide a max charge current. Larger battery means the same miles per hour of charge being added, but less percent. This means each cell is being charged slower because there are more of them. More cells at slower charge means less heat and less wear.

Even the tiny 24kwh Leaf battery doesnt suffer when you fast charge it. The probelms arise when you fast charge multiple times per day in the summer. With a larger battery that is active cooled, this is no longer a problem.

for some reason I always thought that trams were electrically powered by the wires on top of them

now i realize how silly that was

Didn't read the thread, but let me guess, 18 year old community college students have determined that Tesla is a scam to steal tax money, but they also are losing money somehow, and electric cars will never be viable until the cars go 1500mi per charge and cost $2300, also some whining about the fan base of course. Do I get a prize?
