Elon Musk's Terrible Quarter: Tesla's Dismal Q1 Performance Demonstrates Weakness in EV Market
Tesla's lackluster sales performance in the first quarter of 2024 has caught many analysts off guard, signaling deeper issues for both Elon Musk's electric vehicle manufacturer and the entire EV market.
If I was rich, I would snap up all the cheap used EV cars. Battery tech will eventually improve and get less expensive as it always has. A future nuclear diamond battery would completely revive these EVs. But right now I would not buy a new EV car or truck.
I'm currently enjoying commuting to work on a Zero Motorcycles SR/S electric motorcycle. I also took a 125 mile round trip to another town. Charged for free at a car dealership while I ate lunch at the steakhouse next door. Gained 34% charge.
After an hour only 34%?
No, no. I had 42% when I plugged in. I took 40min eating lunch. Bike was at 76% when I got back.
Long way to say 'yes'.
I charged for 40 minutes. That's not an hour.
