I agree with Willie. Tesla is set to take a considerable share of the EV and charging market. Legacy automakers are screwed. As far as the "Tippijng point" conversation. Right now we are in a distruption of the auto market. There is nothing that can be done to change EVs becoming the ONLY car that will be sold. Cost curves are dropping for batteries and the tech needed. Soon Tesla will have a $25000 car and the only reason to buy an ICE will be if you like burning money. Throw Autonomous vehicles into the mix within the next 5 years and it won't even make sense for some people to own a car since robotaxis will make the cost per mile drop about 10 x. These are things that no one can stop because the economics will force it. Willie wroteIt occurs to me that now only Tesla has the faintest hope of "cornering the charging market". Then sell cars cheap and make profit by selling charging. Of course that would be a 180 deg about face since they have been making a profit on car sales and essentially selling charging at low mark up.
Following the reasoning: now legacy makers make minimal profit on new car sales and stick it to buyers for needed and predictable repair. Again, just the opposite of Tesla strategy. ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ [email protected] For general EVDL support, see http://evdl.org/help/ http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org ------------------------------ End of EV Digest, Vol 97, Issue 23 ********************************** -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
