Lithium Price Plunge - No One Buying EVs

He doesn't live in Milpitas. Although Milpitas has lots of sun.

If you were east of 680 you wouldn't have people dumping garbage in your yard. It's much nicer in the foothills.

In East Oakland, this Black guy was dumping piles of tires on the corner sidewalk.
Another Black guy who doesn't live there but lives in Oakland complained to media that city not doing enough to get ride of 5+ feet high tires.
He said if in higher end neighborhood of Oakland, tiles would have been gone.
The city did clean up the tires but that dumper continued piling those old tires.

When I see trash in my block, I throw them away myself. Can't let it sit there giving other dumpsters idea of littering more.

In China, most are buying EV cars. GM too slow to make competitive EVs in China and is losing market share.
GM spent so much money in China in hopes of selling their cars there and soon to be obsolete.
Market has spoken. Future is EV and if GM can't give EV cars the world wants, EV and the car market belongs to China.

You are delusional. Must be from exposure to the emf created by your Tesla

Only real EV choice is a Tesla in America.
In China there are many other competitive brands. They must be laughing at America with just one EV company.
In Australia, I used Uber and I was in BVD brand. Looked nice and could be purchased cheaper than a Tesla if US didn't have restrictions for cheaper EV imports.

A friend of my husband owns a liquor store in a strip mall in Temecula. One day a few months ago, he observed a vehicle on fire at the gas station across the street. Turned out it was a Tesla. The driver said a message came up on his screen about a wheel issue, so he pulled into the gas station, checked around the car, wiggled a wheel to check if there was an issue, and when he did that, the car burst into flames burning alive all 3 passengers locked inside. They were unable to exit the car as there was apparently no manual over-ride to allow the doors to unlock so they could escape, and they all burned to death in the car. Tesla fires are not rare around here, but that one was particularly heart wrenching.

Why do you hate American businesses so much.

Why didn't someone break the glass windows? Car thieves here easily break window within seconds.
