DOGE coin holders are taking profit now so the price, which was at an all time high of 74 cents, is falling. I don't know why they think Elon on SNL is going to be some big promo for DOGEcoin.

I hate to admit this, but I just watched Musk’s monologue and it was good. Whoever wrote it for him hit all the right notes, and Musk’s weird energy pulled it off.

I honestly don’t have a strong personal opinion of Musk. Just assume he’s a complete asshole like most of his ilk. But the monologue worked for me.

Only lgobal elites are buying Teslas (according to R179's article)? lmao, uh, no. That's the same anti-climate change/anti-electric car talking point that republicans, conservatives and oil and gas freaks use. Not all Teslas are high-end status cars and plenty of people who are not "global elites" have one. It's true that the poor can't even afford the base Tesla Model 3, but they're not buying its fossil fuel competitors either.

Musk is personally strange, and somewhat erratic, but he's generally making the right things happen (solar power, electric vehicles, recyclable locally-sourced lithium batteries without cobalt) in ways that are economically profitable and therefore actually useful ways to make a significant change toward reducing greenhouse gasses. I agree that cryptocurrencies are seriously problematic on that front - I hope he wises up on that soon.

He's also doing important work in cybernetics, which holds great promise for addressing spinal injuries, motor disfunctions, blindness/deafness, and significant advancement in human communicationis and congnitive capabilities.

Far better than blowing his fortune on mansions, yachts, private islands, and trust fund babies.

Tesla's success and engineering has really pushed them along. Most are playing catch-up. You're just now seeing a handful of vehicles that have some of Tesla's features, but Tesla is still years ahead, particularly in charging networks, over-the -air updates, driver-assist (misnamed self-driving) and many other advances. This is all to the good, as other manufacturers have to really push to compete (or they die).

I probably won't buy a Tesla, but I'll give it to Elon for forcing other carmakers to make a change. He's an odd guy, but I'll give him due credit for this and for opening his supercharger patents.

Chevy has a great little EV too, R205. A good friend of mine has it and has been pretty impressed with it, so much so that she plans on trading it in for their SUV version when the time comes. I think it has a range of about 400 k or so. Not as much as a Tesla but for general city driving and shorter commutes it's good.

by Anonymousreply 206May 9, 2021 3:52 PM

R206 It's the Bolt... range is 260 miles. Probably one of Chevy's better cars.

Lots of new EVs coming out that are not Teslas and are worth exploring. E.g. Hyundai Kona EV.... would never think about buying a Hyundai, but performance and value (@$40k) make it attractive - it has a 480 mile range. Anything under 400 doesn't work for me.

Thanks Elon for going on SNL and inspiring social media posting about EVs that are not Teslas.

by Anonymousreply 207May 9, 2021 4:04 PM

R207, the Kona doesn't have 480 mile range, it's 415 km for the 2021 model. Both the Bold and the Kona have way more range than the Leaf, which is a fine if you're making short city drives.

Definitely, R220. I agree with the guy in the video that Teslas appeal to a certain subset, whereas people who care about the environment but need a "regular" car without the prestige buy EVs like the Bolt which is a very good EV but not as sleek as the comparable Tesla.

by Anonymousreply 221May 9, 2021 5:27 PM

The big problem with electric cars is energy sources are specific to locality. In the Pacific Northwest which is gifted with the Columbia river, the majority of electricity is generated hydroelectrically(2/3 and growing). In Texas electricity relies on natural gas, coal, and wind power (20%). If an electric car is charging in Texas, it's still burning gas.

by Anonymousreply 222May 9, 2021 5:32 PM

Yes, R222. I don't think we'll ever be totally off of fossil fuels, but that doesn't mean we can't reduce our dependence on them and reduce emissions. There'll never be a perfect fix, but doing something is better than nothing. Same thing with the batteries for EVs. It take fossil fuels to make them and their components need to be mined, but there'd still be an overall drop in the use of fossil fuels if everyone drove an EV.

Sure, of course a pair of Rockport shoes are going to be more comfortable, perhaps "better" than a pair of Church's but that's not the point.

The Bolt is ugly. It's a dog. Some people just like luxurious nice looking trendy things.

And the truth is, the resale value on a Model 3 is the highest among all EVs. People consider those things.

Also: the actual automotive press Car&Driver, Motortrend, Edmunds etc. rate the model 3 at the top. Much higher than the Bolt.

Yes, R232, but if you want to get more and more people into EVs, then you need vehicles like the Bolt and its contemporaries because they have a much more affordable price point. Once you start adding things like extended range and so on to the Model 3, a $40, 000 car quickly becomes $60, 000 which is too much for many.

R233 exactly. This guy is blowing shit off in space frequently, using A LOT of fossil fuels to do so, but we're supposed to be excited about his electric cars that most can't afford -- not just "the poors". Innovative? How? Tesla doesn't even make money, but profits from the government because of losses, on an idea that was in the works long before a rich kid (EM) came along to share his "genious".

Like other wealthy tech nutters with too much money, the main objective is about merging with tech, in some sick scheme to "live forever", and living in space 🙄 For someone who supposedly wants to help save the planet, he sure can't wait to blast off.

This isn't some conspiracy. They all openly discuss this plan of merging our brains/ bodies with technology, admitted there's ways it can go poorly, but they don't care. They really think they're going to live longer, possibly forever, by doing this -- does that sound like a good idea? It would be way different if it were through biological means (i.e., pausing or reversing aging) instead of machines. They have no problem hoarding wealth, manipulating government policies, and risking a global catastrophe, just to get there for their own benefits.

Do we really want this? To allow these wealthy elites to destroy us, so in the end they're extending their lives to extend their grasp on people even longer? I'm 100% about cutting pollution and preserving our beautiful environments, but let's be real, most of the damage was, and still is, coming from the top. The majority could live like paupers tomorrow, using only environmental friendly energies, buying their overpriced "solutions", and we'd still have 70% of emissions coming from these parasitic wealthy dabblers.
