Consumers are Rejecting "The Great Reset"
Electrical vehicle chargers
A friend got a rental of a Tesla over the holidays. It's undoubtedly the industry standard for EVs and a complete blast to drive.
The problem:
It's not a practical car at all. He was driving in the cold, and the car was nearly drained after two hours.
Searching for a charge was no easy task.
The first one didn't work. The second one stated that it would be charged in 10 hours, which he didn't have. The third one charged in one hour but that was a full hour wasted.
His conclusion:
This is indeed a glorified golf cart designed to keep you at home and under the thumb of the manufacturer. And this is just a test.
The repairs are worse. Keep in mind that this is the best the industry has to offer.
The other manufacturers of these things make products not nearly as highly rated, which is why so many of them are sitting on lots unsold and why orders for the machines are plummeting.
It seems like the #EV craze has peaked already. Growth in gas cars is now far higher than electrics, flipping a trend from 12 months ago.
Finally, consumers are figuring it out.
This is a good second car, provided you're driving in your own town, you have a hook-up at home and can charge it overnight, and you don't suddenly have to go out of town.
It's a toy, sometimes a fun one, but not a real car... For that, you need gas.
The idea that this car is going to transition the United States to "clean energy" is absurd.
If every car were electric, the grid would crash and rationing would be the norm.
And maybe that's the whole point...
You drive only with permission.
Nothing about your transportation is within your control.
Authorities will decide everything for you.
It's a perfect strategy for creating a society of dependents.
Fortunately, consumers aren't playing along...
We still live with the remnants of a capitalist system whereby manufacturers have to make profits. So that's a serious problem for the whole industry. It could very well collapse in 2024...
Sure, Tesla will still be around making luxury cars and trucks for well-to-do urbanites, and bless them for it.
But it isn't for everyone.
It isn't even for anyone who has a long way to go...
Even now, the only substantial pockets of broad ownership (above 20 percent) are California and D.C.
The heartland knows better and so do people in very cold latitudes...
As long as we're on the topic of fails, consider fake meat.
Remember how it was going to replace real meat? Well, take a look at the grocery stores today.This is another product that has peaked.
The stock for Beyond Meat was $196 in 2019. It has fallen and fallen.Today it's a bargain at $8.72, with no one being particularly interested.
It looks like this one isn't long for this world either, which makes you wonder why muckety-mucks are still pushing this nonsense on us.
Consumers aren't having it anymore...
Markets in the real world are rejecting the "Great Reset"...!
Whether,
eating bugs
driving EVs
munching fake meat
living in the metaverse with censorship,
...none of it's working...!
We can only hope that this trend continues in 2024 and that it bankrupts the companies that threw themselves into the whole racket.
Let's hope the consumer marketplace can render its final judgment before all of this jazz becomes mandatory, which is the real goal.
In the meantime, let's be grateful for every amount of capitalism we have remaining, because markets mean consumer choice.
And when given the choice, we know now that consumers don't like Klaus Schwab's plans for our lives, no matter how much Bill Gates endorses them...
there will be a lot more Teslas (and other EV's) on the used car market soon... (on top of Hertz dumping thousands of their EV's already).
there are also reports of people using half the battery charge to defrost the doors before they can even enter the car...

#Hertz is selling 20,000 used EVs due to high #repair costs
source: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/01/hertz-is-selling-20000-used-evs-due-to-high-repair-costs/
At the end of Q3 2023, Hertz told investors that significant price cutting during the year had "resulted in lower #EV residual values, increasing vehicle depreciation expense and negatively impacting salvage cost." Additionally, its rental EVs were damaged or crashed more often, and the much higher cost of repairs for #Tesla vehicles—on average about 20 percent higher than other EVs—has meant that Hertz's Teslas earn it less money per vehicle than its other rentals.
https://fosstodon.org/@silicatefondue/111676329857370688 silicatefondue@fosstodon.org - We replaced our 16yr-old Subaru with a #Kona electric. This year, we used 3780 kWh of electricity -assuming 85% charging efficiency, that’s 4450 kWh. In #Quebec, we pay about CAD $0.10/kWh, but fast charging is higher (~CAD $15 for 50 kWh). That’s $380 for charging on the road, assuming a third of our energy, and $300 at home; CAD $680 total.
The same distance in the Subaru would have burned 2037 litres of gasoline; at avg. CAD $1.556/l, that would have been $3,150 in fuel. #EV #ElectricVehicle
We can't save the world with electric cars
Going electric does not solve our problems, it only deepens them. As engineers, we must say the opinion of the professionals in the industry is contrary to the mainstream, and for good reason, Zsolt Horváth and Tamás Ignácz write.
We’ve known for a long time that our GDP addiction and capitalist economic model are incompatible with life on Earth.
Scientists kept saying that for decades, yet very little happened. A few years ago, the electrification of passenger vehicles had begun its journey, hoping it could reduce CO2 emissions to save the planet.
Not only does it not help — it worsens the situation, and yet we keep heading towards a disaster.

Brand new electric buses paralyzed in Oslo
https://aussiedlerbote.de/en/brand-new-electric-buses-paralyzed-in-oslo/
Too cold for the batteries
Oslo,#Norway - Winter is here and with it the freezing cold. And now public transport is also paralyzed. Oslo’s brand new fleet of #electric buses is not designed for these temperatures - their batteries are failing miserably in the icy cold.
Too cold for the batteries - Brand new electric buses paralyzed in Oslo
The transport operator confirms that the electric buses are simply not reliable enough in winter: “The range of the electric buses decreases drastically in the cold. The batteries run out more quickly.” In total, around 140 departures were affected.
Oslo wants to make local public transport completely emission-free. This is why 183 new electric articulated buses were delivered in April 2023. The 100 million euro contract for this was signed last year. The buses are to run on Oslo’s busiest routes.
The new buses from Solaris were highly praised in advance and everything went well during the summer. But now, with the onset of winter, the weaknesses of the electric vehicles are becoming apparent: although a range of 250 kilometers is actually advertised, the buses sometimes simply break down.
Too cold for the batteries: Brand new electric buses paralyzed in Oslo
While everyday life in Norway's capital continues unperturbed, public transport is at a standstill - Oslo's fleet of electric buses can't cope with the cold. #EV
