Hope so. Just bought an ICE, but my next car will probably be electric. Infrastructure over here is pretty good already.

If Rivian ever successfully releases anything, I'd love one of those.

Saw a Polestar the other day, would also consider that.

And a Lucid Air if I had gently caress you money.

when your vehicle isn't generating thousands of tiny explosions every minute you can get away with lovely build quality and it'll still feel like a luxury car compared to most other ICE vehicles

Musk is making a lot of really stupid decisions like trying to go it alone on charging and refusing to put lidar in his cars that make sense right now but I suspect are going to terminally gently caress him 5 years down the road when everyone starts rolling out their second generation EVs with all that stuff more tightly integrated.

It will never stop being hilarious that the Musk cultists genuinely think Tesla is 15 years ahead of the competition when in actual fact Tesla will likely be rendered immediately irrelevant in the next few years as the major auto manufacturers go all-in on EVs.

Musk had 1 genuinely good idea with Tesla and that was to go the Apple iPhone antenna gate model and just very aggressively avoid actually ever having to physically fix anything and just do everything through OTA updates, VW and I think GM seem to have both caught on to the fact that the OTA updates is what really makes Tesla competitive and not anything else.

Its debatable what happens to Tesla once the manufacturers start pumping out EVs en masse. I think the correct thing for them to do would be to just sell that OTA infrastructure to smaller automakers, but I doubt Elon's ego is gonna allow that so probably it'll just bleed out until he gets forced out.

also for the record I think the Apple car is a dumb idea and that they probably should just develop the core OTA updates and battery management tech then license it out but I doubt Tim Apple is gonna pass up an opportunity to add to the ecosystem so 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tesla's also have the best efficiency rating in terms of Wh/km it's ridiculous.

Just made a bet with eldest child.

If Hulk gets a podium I have to make profiteroles.
If Hulk's in a podium position but then crashes out eldest has to make a (late) xmas cake.

I'm on a sure-fire winner, really.

See my point re: OTA updates.

when you can collect back data constantly you can optimise for that poo poo and the other automakers just haven't built out that ability yet.

Lewis has a thing in his contract where he can wear what he likes now, and he's been using it to only wear stuff made by young black designers.

Saw a BMW iX3 today that I only realised was electric because of the green tag on its plate. Was intrigued enough to look up how much it cost.

£61,000 for the base model. Get the gently caress out of here like it's the end of 2009, BMW.
