@elonmusk Sorry Elon, not everyone is, wouldn't trade my old gas hemi dodge for 5 of your EVs🤠
English

@elonmusk 100% agree and this is why the movement started years ago and those who have stayed on the battle lines should be rewarded Godspeed
English

@elonmusk IMO the solid state batteries promising 500-600 mile range and just a few minutes to charge, will accelerate the move. Still see some hurdles: Electricity shortages may require nukes to cure. Price differential of ICE vs EV needs to be substantially reduced.
English

@elonmusk Bullshit. Show me the plan for building 100s of nuclear power plants to compensate for the lack of fossil fuels. Western automakers will build whatever the public will buy. To assert otherwise is to be ignorant of the fundamental economics.
English

@elonmusk Never giving this up. The Tesla has its place but it’s not a replacement for displacement.

English

@elonmusk When gas dropped to $1 per gallon about 2000 in the USA, dummies started buying Suburbans getting 12MPG again
English

@elonmusk That’s not an option for many due to charging issues in high rises and parking options in densely populated areas.
English

@elonmusk And as EV replace petro-fueled combustion autos, that replaced horse and buggies, so shall EVs be replaced one day too.
English

@elonmusk For most people the EV is just a better car, there are not many people that would happily go back to an ICE car once they have owned an EV, I know that a generalisation but I've had an EV since 2019 and I wouldnt go back.
English

@elonmusk And the only 2 manufacturers in Europe who get it and put in some true and decent engineering effort are BMW and Tesla with Giga Berlin as their eurpoean hub. They follow different strategies, but from the german OEs, BMW is the only one taking it really seriously. Tesla anyhow.
English

@elonmusk Shame that Tesla has such a plummeting market share.
English

@elonmusk Every European manufacturer is cutting back their production of EVs. Why?
English

@elonmusk I don’t know Elon lot of vested interest out there still pushing an agenda. I mean we have made the shift. It so far not many others in our wider circle.
English

@elonmusk That’s fine. I will buy an EV when they are safe, I have a place to charge it, they have enough range and I can easily open the doors from inside or out when the battery dies. We will get there one day.
English

@elonmusk @JessePeltan It’s a fair bet the old “Big 3” US automakers will have to be bailed out again—Honda passed them by years ago.
English

@elonmusk Tesla didn’t just join the EV shift — it helped define it. True leadership shows early, before the vibe reaches everyone.

English

@elonmusk True. But to be fair, those accelerating markets don’t seem to be the primary places where many EVs are produced.
Everyone needs access to lots of rare earths.
Crazy that whether it’s oil or electric, we still have to dig in the ground for difficult-to-gather materials.
English

@elonmusk You need to check how much diesel it takes to generate enough energy to drive an EV. The diesel fuel take a car further Besides, nobody’s garage caught on fire when diesel or gas
English

@elonmusk Then make the EVs make sense. Lighter, fewer doomed to fail “features”, manual switches, better batteries (lose lithium), better charging infrastructure, build capacitance in the form of nuclear power plants.
English

@elonmusk infrastructure unready and rare earths used, often minded by slaves be damned! Here it comes!
English

@elonmusk EV's are great...on the golf course or for running to the grocery store or post office. Until the batteries are greatly improved and the cost per unit comes way down, EV's will remain a niche vehicle or a second vehicle here in the US
English

@elonmusk Still waiting for Tesla with solid state batteries and 500mi+ ranges
English

EV engineers design cars for EV engineers, people who probably live in an urban area and have a garage in which to charge an EV, the means to pay for an EV, can afford more tire replacements (A function of battery weight) and typically do multiple short commutes. This shouldn’t be a zero sum or binary solution.
English

Not because they aren't better, it's because that would topple the Evil Oil Empire, and that would bring down everything else. We allowed the "elites" to paint us into a corner, and convince us we're stuck.
There's nothing keeping us from inventing a car with power generating turbines in the rear wheels and Electric motors in the front powering the car, and have the batteries constantly charging, but we stop and spend however much they tell us to on gas tank refills and battery charging. It's never been about what’s best for us or the planet. It's about obtaining and keeping power over the "Deplorables".
