Executive order to make it illegal to trade in or sell Teslas coming any minute.
And then kill their charger standards. Fuck their licensing fees
Are you talking about the charging port (NACS)?
If so, it tells me you likely have never used an EV extensively in North America. CCS1 is complete ass and NACS rocks it in basically every way.
It’s not the connector that’s the problem with EA stations and the like, it’s the total absence of maintenance. I for one appreciate CCS1 and J1772’s simplicity of implementation. NACS was designed by a marketing team which means far more complexity behind the scenes. They’ve done well keeping their stations running but the pins and sockets only matter for the sales brochure.
And to be fair, last I checked there wasn’t any licensing fees.
Yea I think within the last year or so the fee was removed.

Tesla investor calls for Elon Musk to step down as boss
“The company’s reputation has just been destroyed by Elon Musk,” he said.
Article doesn’t even say what the data shows. Did it go from 1000 cars per month to 1001 cars per month? Did it go from 10 cars per month to 1000 cars per month? Because some scenarios are more noteworthy than others.
Time to start calling it Fashla.
I think “Tesler” is pretty good already.
Rhymes with Esler, Georg Esler. Tried to assassinate Hitler.
For what? TL; DR.
Other EVs
BYD? What else is available in the USafA?
The only BYDs available in the USA are busses, trucks and forklifts. No cars unfortunately. Same with all the other Chinese brands like MG - none of them are available in the USA.
Most of the Japanese, South Korean, and German EV brands are available in the USA, in addition to American brands of course. Ford, Kia, Hyundai, VW, BMW, Audi, Cadillac, Chevy, Dodge, Genesis, Honda, and probably others I’m forgetting.
Pick a manufacturer. They all make models now.
Rivian, Hyundai Ioniq, Mustang Mach-E, Polestar, Electric Ford F150
Kia, Audi, VW, Porsche, Mini,
Getting a body from the scrappers and just having one built. There’s atleast two in my city.
Woah, first I’m hearing about this. How’s it work? What’s it called? How do you find a place?
It’s annoying that it says “data from Edmunds published on Thursday” but don’t link to the data.
This world wide web has gotten a lot less webby over time as each page tries its damnedest not to give you options to go anywhere else.
