        While I don't care do 'give it' to anyone - I can draw some strong similarities with how people vote political leader based on their like of the person more than their opinion of their policies. People vote like they're choosing a friend.

        Same, if I'm buying a car I'm going to choose the car that suits me best rather than choose which evil gets my money - there are none more worthy than any other IMO.

        • alUK234 on 03/10/2024 - 21:28

          Dont you think this is a bit simplistic? Do you also feel the same about people who buy Australian? I.e. they should just buy what is cheapest/ best?

          I assume you also criticise people who would say boycott Iran or avoid chinese products or anything else to do with politics? Or is this reserved to sticking up for 'free speech' Elon.

          Perhaps it is true, in which case your are consistent and simply think that ethics should play no role in your perchase decision. Suppose the company owner was a convicted rapist or paedophile - should that also be ignored as long as they sell the best product?

            @N11: Why would anyone choose a Toyota.

            Toyotas EVs are bottom of the barrel.

            I’d go a byd or Tesla.

            Swapping to an EV has been awesome I no longer stop at service stations, which was a pain in the butt especially when running late for work.

            I don’t worry about all the regular servicing in 4 years the car has only needed tyres done which is a lot of time saved dealing with dealerships.

            The convenience of having a full tank of fuel every morning.

            It’s honestly so much healthier too I was buying so much rubbish in the service stations, iced cofffees, chocolate bars etc

            The lack of fuel bills is also nice, most of my charging is down for free during the solar soak period.

            With summer coming up I might even swap to wholesale electricity and get paid to charge the car as opposed to free. I’ll have to check the electricity rates as the weather improves.

              @811b11e8: I like how you look at the bright side of a messy situation. I like the driving of an EV, quiet, quick and handles nice. Unfortunately that's where bright side ends for me.

              • Forget about long drives (unless you love spending hours at around charging stations - supposedly 'sight seeing' or 'having a meal' lol)

              • Forget about re-sale value (unless you are sitting on top of a pile of cash that you would rather spend of EV than throwing away)

              • Forget about reliability and longevity (unless you are that someone who don't care about those small issues.)

              • Forget about the whole car when battery depletes (unless you believe 'Elon said he'll replace it for much less than critics say' Yeah sure)

              • Forget about stress-free driving (unless you are that someone who's never heard of range anxiety. What's that..? I bet you've got no clue. Start the car showing 450 km, after 100 km driving, now it's got 100 km left. Something doesn't add up!)

              Just a few that I could remember. EV owners can extend this list further I'm sure if they are honest enough..

                @npnp: Complete agreed from someone who have friends who owns a few Teslas! I would not buy an EV unless there are huge incentives. After 7 years I can sell my Lexus/Toyota/Honda and get some decent coin vs EV. The savings on petrol goes straight to the insurance unless you are doing more than 20k km a year! There are thousands on Carsales that not many want to buy due to battery replacement cost!

                +1

                @npnp: I’m not going make generalised comments on depreciation as it’s very make/model specific (on both the EV side and the ICE side), plus affected by small data sets of older EVs, frequent new EV price adjustments historically, and COVID-related price/supply weirdness, other than to say it’s certainly something a potential EV buyer should consider (the flip side being very low maintenance/running/fuel costs, plus other benefits). My personal opinion is EV depreciation will stabilise now that the market is maturing, which is at least logical - if that proves to be right or not remains to be seen.

                Beyond that there’s a lot of BS in your post.

                If you regularly drive more than the 400+km range of your EV in a single day then they may not be for you. For everyone else - almost everyone - long drives are a non issue. You do 99% of your charging at home / destination / in other “non urgent” situations - often for free, or very cheaply - and if you need to very occasionally use a fast charger on a long trip they work very well.

                EVs typically hit around 80%-90% of their quoted range when driven normally, same as ICE cars. If you drive them hard for a while the projected range will drop - again just like ICE cars - before bouncing back again when normal driving resumes.

                Range anxiety, to the extent someone suffers it, goes away after you’ve driven the car for a week or two and realise the reality of all the above.

                There is data to support new EVs models on average having more minor issues than a typical ICE, but the trend reverses for established EV models where kinks have been ironed out. And over the long haul there is growing data that EVs are far more reliable than ICE cars when it comes to major issues (not to mention near maintenance free). Which also makes intuitive sense given the simplicity of the drivetrain.

                Battery replacement - when it comes, 10+, maybe 15+, years into an EVs life, based on what is now a large dataset - will undoubtedly be expensive. But saying you’d just junk the whole car at that point is silly. And inevitably battery replacement will get cheaper as demand rises - to what extent remains to be seen.

                For whatever compromises might exist in the above, on the flip side you get a vehicle (model dependent of course) that is comfortable, quiet, fast, easy to drive, spacious, somewhere between very cheap and free to “fuel”, has almost nil maintenance, and is good for the world. That doesn’t mean they’re right for everyone by default, but on balance they’re really (really) damn good. For me personally, my Model 3 is the best all round car I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned some rippers (including ones that cost far more). No fan-boy’ing - I started as something of a sceptic, and as with everything I’m just evaluating it on its merits.

            Not to mention the Nazis did NOT believe in nationalising everything, they privatised en masse upon being elected. They handed out bucket loads to private industries, privatised plenty of stuff in their time, they were authoritarian and were happy for capitalist private entities to do whatever the (profanity) they wanted so long as they aligned with Nazi Germany's goals.

            "the Nazi movement in Germany was called National Socialism" so (profanity) what, North Korea is called The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, do you think they're a democracy?

              @nikko016: Many of the Nazis were true socialist who believed in the abolition of private property. Hitler was not one of them, at least not in practice, but the rank and file were full of socialists - see below.

              "they were authoritarian and were happy for capitalist private entities to do whatever the (profanity) they wanted so long as they aligned with Nazi Germany's goals."

              Yes, that's called a planned economy, which is traditionally "left wing", and is also a facet of a war economy. Should Germany have won the war, there's no reason to suspect that Hitler wouldn't have consolidated power further and purged the capitalists he so often attacked publicly.

              From Encyclopaedia Brittanica:

              The Strasser brothers appealed to the lower middle classes and the proletariat by advocating a socialism couched in nationalist and racist terminology; the Nazi gains at the polls after 1928 were partly due to their efforts. Although Otto became disillusioned and left the party in 1930 to organize the Schwarze Front (Black Front), Gregor remained with Hitler.

              By the early 1930s Strasser was head of the Nazi political organization and second only to Hitler in power and popularity. As leader of the party’s left wing, however, he opposed Hitler’s courting of big business as well as his anti-Semitism and instead favoured radical social reforms along socialist lines.

              This isn't to say the Nazis were left-wing. They weren't. The idea of left-wing or right-wing politics was dated a century ago. The Nazis themselves claimed they were "third position".

                @besttechadvisor: So your proof that they were going to abolish private property, kill all the capitalists and enforce socially economic policy is not from any of their actions that they did, but the idea that they would do it totally if they won the war. I'm sure they're not total grifters who said rubbish to the masses, and followed through with none of it, just like all of the fascist parties today.

                • besttechadvisor on 03/10/2024 - 16:11

                  @nikko016:

                  So your proof that they were going to … enforce socially economic policy is … the idea that they would do it totally if they won the war"

                  No, not at all. I said that the Nazis already implemented a planned economy, as most war economies are. I also referenced the Strasser brothers, who were socialists and had many socialist followers within the Nazi party. Just because Hitler's policies weren't always socialist doesn't mean that Nazis in general weren't socialist.

                  While Hitler obviously had a cult of personality like Trump does, it'd be nieve to claim that Republicans are protectionists just because Trump is.

                  I'm sure they're not total grifters who said rubbish to the masses, and followed through with none of it

                  Of course the upper echelon were, just like most Communist parties (CCP, USSR, DPRK) who were also very hierarchical and never successfully abolished private property. Does that mean the CCP, USSR, & DPRK are now right-wing because they failed at their left-wing goals of abolishing private property, and their followers weren't communist? Or does it just mean they're just left-wing failures?

                  Just because Hitler and his echelon lied to the National Socialist masses doesn't mean that the Nationalist Socialist masses weren't both Nationalist and Socialist in their beliefs. If anything, it means that the Nazi masses were Socialists if Hitler's echelon had to appeal to their socialist beliefs to win their support.

                  "They're not communist, they're state capitalists!"
                  - Everyone communist trying to excuse every failed communist state.

              I never said they nationalised everything, just that they controlled, or wanted to control, everything. Socialism is not communism and requires a private sector to finance its excesses. They were outspending on public works and rearmament well in excess of what they were bringing in so were kind of forced to go to war to keep on financing this otherwise their economy would have collapsed. They had a, largely, centralised economy - another hallmark of socialism.

              Today, we see a lot of racism and antisemitism coming from the left. This used to mainly (but not exclusively) come from the right - so it's a characteristic of both left and right.

              All I'm saying is that Nazism was a product of the ultra-right but it had many left-wing (even hard-left) facets.

          We will all be better off when we consciously reject the left/right dichotomy in favour of putting policy first.

          The NSDAP had policies that were;
          • Ultra nationalist, which is traditionally considered to be right wing.
          • Primarily collectivist and followed a command economy, which is traditionally considered more left wing.
          • Socially all over the spectrum, from environmental protectionism through to religious persecution.
          • Authoritarian, which is somehow considered a right-wing trait, even though it's just as common in the 20th century for otherwise left-wing governments (CCP, DPRK, USSR, etc) to be authoritarian, which goes to show just how fallacious and ridiculous this left/right nonsense really is.

            But now that it benefits him financially he has done a heel turn and is a hard line conservative. He'll say anything and pander to anyone that nets him the most money and power.

          His wealth is based on the value of the businesses he has established and invested in. He's not personally pocketing a cut from each car sale.

          Buying an EV boosts the EV industry as a whole. People are not going to stick it to Elon by buying a different brand EV. Any EV boosts the recognition and support of the industry as a whole and makes any EV-focused company more valuable = Tesla stock increases. A rising tide lifts all ships.

          It's mainly performative (i.e. so you that you show people "I didn't buy a Tesla because of Musk!"), and if people want to do that, good for them. Elon won't notice.

            @chuq: Will definitely get negged but I don't think EVs are the future they are a stop gap solution at best and a big recycling hazard for the future..

            I do understand he doesn't just have 250bn in his bank somewhere and is more likely based on the shares he holds in the institutions..

        Well he does the make the decisions that are pushed upon the engineers with little to no pushbacks.
        He removed ultrasonic sensors widely regarded in the car industry as the standard.. he disapproves Lidar and other similar sensors and thinks he can get away with just Camera(custom) to get FSD which was supposed to be launched when? Which year are we in..

        He was the one who switched off Starlink being used by Ukraine and gave Russia the edge(google) .. in all honesty Tesla for me a no-go for the above and more reasons..

          Ukraine is a very corrupt nation so it doesn't surprise me why he did that.
          Testa make bold moves, and there is always some sense in the madness. But it takes time before things smooth out. if things a bad right now they usually get better of time with tesla.

        Apple was significantly better under Steve Jobs.

        The current product line is bloated as hell.

          Yeah I am not saying it is wasn’t but many people thought apple would go bankrupt like it almost did in 80s when Steve jobs died.

      to be fair it's mostly on the other manufacturers like Hyundai and Kia for not trying to compete value wise with their EVs in Australia. We had an Ioniq 5 ordered when they were announced nearly 4 years ago, but in the end cancelled it and got a Tesla because the large price difference made no sense.

      Interestingly in other countries like the UK and even the US they compare a lot more favourably on value.

      • besttechadvisor on 03/10/2024 - 14:33

        Kia & Hyundai have no incentive to lower their prices yet. They're still selling as many IONIQs as they can sell because, so far, no one's made such fun EVs as HKG have.

        Their market share is also increasing while Tesla's is shrinking.

        Obviously, it won't last with all the incoming Chinese vehicle, and HKG will drop their EV prices eventually, but not yet.

        • Arsenal on 03/10/2024 - 14:38

          I mean, as you will have read in my original post, they aren't selling as many EVs as they could be selling, and their market share here reflects that compared to the other countries I mentioned.

          Of course some people are still buying them, but I can guarantee they would sell more with better pricing.

            @Arsenal: HKG are literally selling as many EVs as they can make, ergo they're selling as many as they can sell.

              @besttechadvisor: They could easily ramp up production of their EVs if they chose to. It's absolutely their choice, but my original point still stands that they are choosing to limit supply and demand in Australia compared to other countries.

                @Arsenal: No, they're at their production limit for EV's. They only have so many production lines and so many plants. One of their plants is currently being retooled to produce the Kia Tasman ute.

        We're starting to get some of the Chinese EVs that are really price competitive. XPeng G6 in particular looks really compelling compared to a Model Y.

        Depends where you see value I guess. The warranty that Tesla provide gives you an idea of the value you can put on their build quality.

    • MDSUXKS on 03/10/2024 - 12:09

      I hope they do. That is the best way to even not ev owners get cheaper petrol and diesel. Than thx your neighbour to start the trend.

      • ChunkyToast on 03/10/2024 - 13:02

        How would Non-EV owners get cheaper fuel?

        At the end of the day they are a business and if the volumes drop it is not like they will drop prices to drive demand like you can with other products, it is not like people are going to start using MORE fuel day to day.

        As demand for fuel decreases, petrol stations could face higher costs to maintain the same infrastructure with fewer customers. The costs of transporting, refining, and distributing fuel could increase because these costs would be spread over fewer sales. This will probably lead to higher prices for those still using petrol and diesel vehicles.

          Demand tanked in early 2020 and so did prices. Yes they will adjust supply to compensate as overall demand trends downward, but in the medium term it’s reasonable to assume prices will soften.

          Also, most servo’s make very little c/L from fuel sales.

      I drive 10 minutes each morning to my son's daycare and have been counting the amount of teslas I see each day (given I have a Y). In that short drive in Ipswich mind you I see around 8-9 each morning and it's increasing quickly. In my suburb we now have 5 Teslas which doesn't sound like much but it's not a large suburb and we aren't a rich area.
