Tesla delivers more than 200,000 vehicles in 2nd quarter

And a Tesla Model S "Plaid" caught fire in Pennsylvania with the driver inside.

At least it didn't hit

a police cruiser https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-michigan-state-autopilot-crash-report/ or

fire truck. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a30474504/nhtsa-indiana-tesla-model-3-crash-fire-truck/

again. There must be at least 5 cases where Teslas have hit emergency vehicles.

The Plaid version is US$130K. Seems the least it should do is not catch on fire.

And Tesla still loses money on every car they sell.

Tesla makes money by selling emission credits for its cars to other automakers.

Fun fact: Toyota delivered 603,066 in the US alone.

3x what this narcissistic sociopath delivered.

Elon is a genius and a visionary. He’s also a narcissistic sociopath. Want to see what advanced AI is like? Look at Elon. He’s faking it.

I am still not sold on these type of cars. Take half a day to charge and once it breaks down, only experts can fix it. Not to mention to replace a battery is freaking expensive. And it consume a ridiculous amount of electricity. In a country where energy is already very tight.

Tesla is playing the same script Amazon played long ago.

They're investing 100% in infrastructure and when they think they're ready, flip the switch and turn on the profits.

Laughable.

Can you buy them in Japan?

Here in South Cal their cars are everywhere.

theFu, petrol powered vehicles have their own means to turn the vehicle into a bonfire. It happens more than you think.

I really want to buy a long range S class with autopilot. The next pipeline stoppage is always just around the corner. The problem is with the expense.

EV's are fast and powerful, but BORING.

Some of them are luxurious, but still boring when compared to a similar ICE powered car.

No sound. No vibration. No turbo whistle. No supercharger whine. No engine rumble. No exhaust crackle and pops.

Glorious golf-carts, IMO.

Comments are mine.

EVs are good and cool.
