5 or 7 years ago I wanted solar for my house & an electric car, not a golf cart as many had & used for all their shopping. Winter here can be vicious & we need protection from the elements. Now that I am on strict social security with no excess, I do not think I can acquire my wants.

Used electric car prices are lower, which is an economic measure of low demand.

Is it not true that 100% of the EVs sold in the U.S. in 2023 and thus far in 2024 lost between $30k to $130k for the manufacturers? And this is with the $7,500 in subsidies the manufacturers took in pricing with the IRA act.

Let’s not confuse the transfer of wealth for Tesla from other auto makers that do not produce the government mandated percentage of EVs to total autos produced. This is the only way Tesla makes a profit.
