No worries, anyday now people will realize the poor resell value of EV's and the pita factor are exponentially outweighed by the novelty factor. Soon there will be a waiting list of anxious ice pickup truck owners waiting to trade for a $100,000 truck that will tow a trailer 90 miles.
Now I’m curious. Why wouldn’t a tesla work as a primary mode of transportation?How many light bulbs did Thomas Edison attempt to make and failed at before he had his one success that changed the world.
Again, my opinion, EV's are good run around cars if you want transportation traveling to and from work every day, if you life in a city or town, and have a second vehicle for "heavy lifting" driving. I think of electric vehicles as glorified golf carts. Golf carts are great in campgrounds, gold courses, and sometimes running around at events, like fairs and such.
But to use an EV as one's primary and only mode of transportation is a personal disaster waiting to happen. It sounds like, people are finally waking up. The industry isn't do as great as our gooberment was hoping for.....
Anyway, with all the EV threads popping up, an EV section is in order. Don Tom andSkookumViajeros should moderate.
Isn’t that the truth. But what I have noticed is the anti EV crowd wants to tell the EV owners all the downsides of owning such without any experience with the product. We do not own an EV so I defer to those that do to enlighten me on the pros and cons of EV ownership.Looks to me like our EV board serves mostly as a debate arena for those who are avidly pro or anti EV. The same tired arguments get trotted out at each mention of an EV.
Tesla has reduced there work force by 5 to 10 percent 5 times in the last 8 years. This is normal practice for them.I have seen that Tesla does this quite often. Not sure to this extent or not.

I saw you put that but I am not aware of how many employees they have so not sure if this is more than the standard 5 to 10 percent or not. I also noticed it said worldwide so not sure how many that is in the U.S.Tesla has reduced there work force by 5 to 10 percent 5 times in the last 8 years. This is normal practice for them.
Most people don’t know if you can’t make or receive a phone call or text message for over 30 minutes you’ll die. That’s why people were falling dead on the sidewalks before cell phones.Really not much different than people relying on a cell phone as their primary phone. A dead battery in a cell phone makes it useless. Not to mention the fragility of the phones. Drop it and it becomes useless. Then it's time to look for replacement, FAST.
Also, if you need to call 911, chances of getting the local 911 center is questionable. The cell tower you connect to may be in a different county or state depending on your location. My neighbor had a life threatening situation, called 911 and was connected to a neighboring county. They had to transfer her to the correct area.
While traveling you really don't have a choice, but at home a landline will pinpoint your location.
No idea. Typically within a year of laying off a large amount of people, within one year their work force is bigger than before they did the layoff. Seems to work for them. They get rid of the bottom 5 to 10 percent of performers. Section heads and department heads especially.I saw you put that but I am not aware of how many employees they have so not sure if this is more than the standard 5 to 10 percent or not.

Mass layoffs can certainly be used to get rid of dead weight or employees that have been there a while and that are too costly.No idea.

There are apparently job postings appearing on the recruiting boards so they are already hiring. Especially the Germany and Texas factories.
