I think about it like this How long have books been around? few thousand years now? and when did we perfect the production? cuz it doesn't seem like there are recent advances in bookmaking. maybe they get costs down or whatever, but we've basically already hit peak bookmaking and have been there for a few decades
electric cars, on the other hand, are really really really fucking new. it's gonna be awhile before we get to the point where it can't be improved that doesn't necessarily mean the topic should be entirely avoided until we reach the peak - clearly some countries are comfortable in assuming that electric cars are gonna be pretty good by 2040, since they're gonna outlaw the sales of new gas cars and such you'll look back on these memes and think "well, YEAH, they sucked back then, but now that it's 2028 they finally got their shit together" and to that I say, stop bitching and just recognize it's a work in progress

I was just reading about how absolutely fucked up the Model 3 is these days. Something like 50% of the parts they receive for making them are already fucked up and have to be re-worked, or shipped off-site and completely remanufactured before being put into NEW cars.
What an absolute shit company. Say what you will about the Big Three (and I"m no fan), but at least they can fucking deliver a car that runs - and usually for a few years before it starts to fall apart. Tesla can't even GET you a fucking car, and if they do it's made of recycled dogshit put together by overworked, underpaid teenagers and spics.
Everyone here larps they own lambos when in reality we just shitpost

Ev cars are as old as petrol cars U fucking faggot
It's only battery tech and ecu Tech that has advanced

You should think about it like this:
>books have been around for thousands of years in some form or another >but when the Printing Press was invented in the 15th century it revolutionized book production and communication in general
Now look at cars; automobiles and carriages had been around for decades prior to Henry Ford's involvement, but when he introduced the assembly line in 1913 it revolutionized their production. Costs went down, and availability went up.
Tesla isn't do ANYTHING new here. They can't even get the basics of production right. It's nothing to do with their technology or industry, it's everything to with incompetent supply management and production. Musk is a smug cunt who over-expanded and let his cunt mouth do the talking instead of using his brain. His company deserves to fail at this point, and I really hope it does. I want to see hydrogen fuel cells take off, electric cars have ALWAYS been a shitty meme. Diesel hybrids are the future, until we can find a feasible alternative to fossil fuels.
fine, let him fail I'm not a Tesla apologist, I'm just saying the playing field is going to look at lot less ridiculous in a few years. diesel industry needs better lobbyists in USA, it's pretty hard to convince a company to bring a new diesel here

That's why diesel hybrids will be the future. They'll have small displacement engines that get good fuel economy, and with spartan fuel use the emissions will be very minimal. Coupled with an electric drivetrain, they'll get insane range and have low operating costs. Cars will go back to being something you keep for 10 years, not throwaway appliances for 2-3 years.
Mercedes already does it with their Bluetec Hybrid sedan, and it works very well.

>i-its a new technology! >j-just give it time!
are they asking money upfront for it?
how many fucking models have they introduced in the 10 years since the brand was announced?
are they asking for 10k more than a Toyota Prius C costs annually?
which are proven to be the most economic hybrids in existence on top of Toyota's decades of reliability and by the way there was only 1 version of for several years as it proved its want by the masses and then made various changes.
Tesla has announced like 5 new cars in just the last 1-2 years, not counting all the different iterations of the very first X/S/D model they first released
all of which have massive issues and you don't hear the press covering how ridiculous the repair costs are

post yfw they will never take exploding dinosaurs from us
They used to have 500,000 preorders. Everyone is leaving in droves. The quality is shit, the car is really $50k after getting the bigger battery, activating Auto Pilot, and the uprgraded interior
