The 4 ways I’m going to look at the auto market is by looking at supply and demand, looking at each from a Tesla perspective and from the perspective of the rest of the industry. My gut feel going into this analysis was that all cars sold would be electric by 2025. I was wrong. Let’s look at why.
Most writers at CleanTechnica don’t cover hybrids at all. They prefer to focus on the leading edge cars like Tesla’s vehicles or the Ford Mustang Mach-E. There are several reasons I am writing about the Sienna Hybrid Minivan, though.
A year ago, I didn’t know much about crossovers, so I researched them and wrote an article about why they are so popular. Today, I finally got to drive a Tesla Model Y at the Tampa Delivery Center.
According to Reuters, Tesla has cut prices in North America on all of its cars except the Model Y by up to 6%.
About 6 months ago, I wrote an article about how I was going to sell my home and downsize my life. Sound a little like Elon’s recent tweets? An excerpt from that article is below:
HyperChange’s Galileo Russell (Gali) has been on the leading edge of trying to figure out all the things that Tesla will announce on Battery Day next month (or whenever it happens).
I started off writing this article about a week ago, but the article turned into a breaking news story on the Tesla lawsuit against Alameda County.
About a month ago I wrote an article about how my wife accidentally backed our Tesla Model 3 into our home’s garage door. In that article, it looked like the repair was going to be fast and reasonable in price, similar to repairs I’ve done to Honda and Toyota cars I’ve owned in the past.
Those in the auto industry are well acquainted with the concept of “bait and switch.” This is where a retailer runs an appealing ad for a car or other good at a great price, but when you drive to the retailer to get the great deal, you find out that good isn’t available and the salesperson then tries to sell you a higher priced good.
Most people think of comparing the Model Y to either a Model 3 (which it was derived from) or a Model X (Tesla’s first SUV), but I thought it would be interesting to compare it to the original “designed from the ground up” Model S.
