NY Times - #news Tesla Sales Fall 13% in First Quarter, Reflecting Backlash Against Musk - Elon Musk’s involvement in right-wing politics has contributed to a drop in global deliveries, including steep declines in E.V.-friendly places like Norway. #ElonMusk #TeslaTakeDown #Tesla #automotive #EV #EVs

Tesla sales are down. What a surprise...

I have never been a fan of Teslas. I am a fan of EVs, however, and there is just a lot of quality vehicles out there and most of them have a dashboard, which IMHO should be a requirement, as well as normal placement of things like turn signal controls and window wiper controls.

I know some of you just dislike cars in general and I respect that. I love walking and biking as well, but sometimes I need to drive and then I prefer EVs.

From repairs to insurance, Trump's auto #tariffs could make owning a car more expensive - So let me get this straight… we’ve been effectively priced out of the housing market, rents are going up; and now, cars are going to be out of reach for most common working folk. Uh-huh. Even car repairs are going up. So it’s not just eggs, it’s freaking everything that’s TOO DAMN HIGH #CostOfLiving #finance #RepublicansDidThis #RepublicansOwnThis #economy #auto #automotive #transportation https://apnews.com/article/trump-auto-tariffs-car-repair-insurance-costs-cf71362dad7a62884d2d618b851918fb
