That’s not true, Tesla has figured out manufacturing and does so profitably. Unlike any other American based car manufacturer, Tesla is making a profit per unit and they do not rely on legacy ice vehicle sales to prop their balance sheets up.

Sodium ion batteries are actually currently in production, and are in production vehicles by catl and other companies. There is an American and European company also commercializing the technology.
They are offering roughly 3,000 charge-discharge cycles, which is on par with lfp.
Battery technology for electric vehicles is moving super fast right now.

EV batteries are actually significantly different than the batteries in your laptop or phone, and are designed to have minimal degradation over many many years of use. The coolant loops also help to moderate the temperature between cells, which eliminates problems of hot spots and the heat stress that a phone battery will experience.
For instance, my car has over 300 battery cells in it, which results in say a 100 MI Drive will only use each cell draining by about 1/3. The much lower cyclic rate on these cells results in a much longer lifespan, and the battery conditioning using liquid coolant is how they achieve that.
I’m sure there are more than 10 sedan models available in the united states, did you look at Mercedes and bmw? They should have a few models.
Some use the larger cells, but not all. They apparently are a bust and don’t offer increased energy density like they had originally claimed.
The lfp cells come from China, and are now being heavily taxed.
There is currently a huge labor shortage in the united states, particularly for engineers and skilled craft and trades people. There’s no fucking way they would be able to hire 10,000, let alone 500,000 people. Hell, my company has had two engineering positions open for 2 years and we have had zero applicants. Zero!
Everybody just wants to be retired or be a social media influencer these days, with that amazing side hustle as a door dasher.
I’ve read that all they’re doing is diluting the current shares, so in essence the current shareholders are screwing themselves over by devaluing their own shares.
Pretty dumb
Tessa was in San francisco, not delaware. Delaware was only for incorporation and tax purposes.
Cocaine, ha! Such amateurs.
My city sells that much weight in fentanyl per week!
Every advanced country is going to have population decline, as most women don’t actually want to have kids. Or at least have enough kids to maintain the current population levels.
Isn’t it already?
Is this related to the Pacific Northwest tree octopus?
You can over $5000 in cash with you at all times???
He must have been homeless his entire adult life.
I’m mid 40s and didn’t get a credit card until I was 25. And I couldn’t even pay for any utilities, rent or car payments with it. And still can’t. Online bill pay wasn’t a thing until like after the recession.
That’s called the “invisible hand of the free market.”
Some dude name Adam Smith wrote a book about it, a few years ago.
The average new car buyer in the US are a childless couple in their late 50s.
That’s how accounting works. You don’t get to change the federally mandated accounting practices.
It’s called GAAP
Agreed, and the proper response here is to increase volumes to amortize the costs across more units, not cut back production.
Unless your goal is to take a loss and write off your taxes for the construction costs of the new factories, only to increase production next year.
It’s a nice part about having a battery electric vehicle is that every morning when you wake up the car will be fully charged and you will never have to go to a gas station again.
Plus you’ll realize how better battery electric vehicles smell and that they don’t produce any pollution. Oh yeah, they also have tons of power and are a lot more responsive to drive!
This is the same clown that released a Neo-Nazi campaign video right?
