Editorial: California electric car sales are zooming. Too bad they're mostly Teslas (via latimesopinion)

Across California utility bills are skyrocketing as natural gas prices spike. The volatility underscores the need to shift quickly to renewable energy.

“There is a demand for less expensive models, but automakers are being cautious because it’s a new technology,” said Edmunds analyst Jessica Caldwell. But those supply chain issues are easing and dealer markups above sticker price are starting to come back down, she said. Leaving the daily standard at the same level set 16 years ago would give Americans the false impression that the air they are breathing is safe.

opinion And when the electrical grid goes down you will be SOL

opinion Im never buying an EV

opinion It's a scam.

opinion Many people cannot afford a new gasoline powered car/truck, never mind an EV. Apartments are not equipped to handle charging, forcing the new EV owners to public charging stations. Concept may look great in a Powerpoint slide but fails in real life execution.

opinion Perhaps there’s more profit in the added frills which means it’s less profitable to manufacture a basic EV.

opinion Left wing newspaper! Common sense says electric cars are not the overnight answer for every car owner!

opinion I used to appreciate journalists as I helped LATimes and other publishers for over a decade. Then this happened. Look no further than why we all stopped following, subscribing and getting our news from you 😢.

opinion The cars aren’t really the problem. It’s the lack of electrical infrastructure that will prevent it. The average homeowner can’t spend an extra 15k to upgrade their panel at home, and landlords can’t afford to put them in for renters.

opinion Not one word in the article about the savings of operation, realized by owners in comparison to gas cars, offsetting the initial price. Lazy thinking.

opinion Musk came out in favor of free speech, transparent government and took 50,000 child porn accounts off Twitter. Of course the left is pissed now and against Tesla. First Epstien Island closed, now no kiddie porn? How is a Democrat going to spend his weekend?

opinion Never let the fact that our electrical grid sucks and can’t support this get into the way of your dreamy ideas.

opinion How about more effort n’ money into public transit? I don’t wanna own an EV. I want the the bullet train that was promised!!!

opinion Or you could take public transit instead of driving.

opinion Infrastructure isn't set, and people in older apartments have nowhere to charge much less can afford an EV... those 3 reasons alone make a difficult transition... Biggest one, the majority don't care about climate change vs economic impact

opinion .......but don't buy teslas.'

opinion

opinion Your electric grid couldn’t handle them even if they were cheaper. Typical Commiefornia bs.

opinion “Un-just”?

opinion Write about the insufficient grid, you cowards.

opinion What trash. CA’s electric grid is struggling as it is. But please get more electric cars so it’ll crash and burn.

opinion What happened to VW, Volvo, pole Star?

opinion If you do your homework before making your EV purchase, you'll buy a Tesla.

opinion Why “too bad” there’s nothing bad about these statistics elonmusk congrats on moving California in right direction 🫶🏻🤌🏻

opinion Why the hate on the States largest manufacturing employer? 47,000 direct jobs in California, 10s of thousands of indirect jobs, $44 million a day spent in California, too bad LA times is a hater, otherwise it would be even more.

opinion Shame on you and your lame journalism.

opinion Elon gonna buy la times watch.

opinion In this editorial, the LA Times naively compares the sticker price of EVs versus combustion cars. Total cost of ownership shows many EVs, including Teslas, are more affordable than comparable ICE, but that doesn’t fit the grievance narrative of the press.

opinion why is it too bad? without tesla there would be 0 electric cars on the road. worship your climate change savior, lord elon

opinion This tweet is hate speech, trying to put tesla down, even though is the best EV producer in the world 🌎 ShameOnYou . signed: proud owner of a magnificent Tesla car 🤘🏻

opinion luckily they're mostly Teslas

opinion What a sad article. You hate Tesla & are trying to gain woke points You should celebrating Tesla’s success for the environment in the present & what it represents for our futures and children’s futures. Not try to push your irresponsible bias

opinion Too bad your opinions are targeted entertainment to sell ads.

opinion LA times is one of the worst publications

opinion democrats--'we want everyone to buy an electric car, and will ban new cars that aren't electric!!' also democrats-- '.... but we don't want you to buy THOSE electric cars because we don't like the owner of the company that makes them!!'

opinion shame of you, journalism is dead 💀

opinion What a loaded headline. Yuk.

opinion Boring ass cars.

opinion Waiting for the Apple car.

opinion You are one sick puppy. And your master, Patrick, is a hater. LAntifaTimes.

opinion You guys loved Tesla until it’s owner didn’t fall in lock step with your tyrannical political beliefs.

opinion Oh no, you're telling me the governor 'didn't realize' his 2030 edict would price out low-income communities? Many of which are mostly minorities? Wow, no way. Maybe he should just tell them they're greedy like he did the oil companies. That seemed to work.

opinion There is not a single newspaper out there that is neutral. Journalism is dead!

opinion Because the other charging networks are mostly crappy.

opinion

opinion You guys are a joke!

opinion Lol

Teslas are so expensive to repair, insurers are writing them off - AutoblogTeslas are expensive to repair — so much so that insurers are writing off low-mileage cars, and Elon Musk says Tesla is trying to address the problem. Ground clearance itself looks problematic They have a much lower rate of issues than other cars, but expensive things have expensive repairs. The overall maintenance cost is lower, so this really is deceptive.
