THE MORNING RANT: Roundup of the Latest EV Follies (02/16/2024)
“The Six Months That Short-Circuited the Electric-Vehicle Revolution; Automakers went all in on battery power, but buyers have proven more hesitant” [WSJ – 02/14/2024]
Some auto executives acknowledge they got ahead of the market with overzealous demand projections.“Some auto executives” could have avoided billions of dollars in unnecessary losses if they had talked to me before committing so heavily to the EV fantasy.
[Ford CEO Jim] Farley and other industry CEOs are still confident that EVs will eventually take off, albeit at a slower pace than initially envisioned. But for now, the massive miscalculation has left the industry in a bind, facing a potential glut of EVs and half-empty factories while still having to meet stricter environmental regulations globally. “Ultimately, we will follow the customer,” GM Chief Executive Mary Barra told analysts this month.It’s good that Mary Barra is now acknowledging that General Motors has no choice but to “follow the customer.” Unfortunately, she had previously promised to take GM all-electric in barely a decade, mistakenly believing that GM has the capability of leading the customer down that path, rather than following the customer. GM does not have that capability. I’ve previously covered how Ford is having to retrench from its failing EV programs. But as noted in the quote up above from the Wall Street Journal, Ford’s destructively inept CEO, Jim Farley, is still a believer in the EV transition. He is clearly willing to destroy Ford Motor Company in pursuit of the globalist anti-carbon agenda. So how did Ford’s EV division fare in 2023? “Ford’s electric-vehicle business lost nearly $4.7 billion in 2023 and could lose another $5 billion this year, but CEO Jim Farley argues the automaker is undervalued…” A ship that is taking on water is rarely “undervalued.” How do you “undervalue” a business that is willing to lose $10 billion in just two years on a product that customers don’t want? Ford sold 72,608 electric vehicles in the US in 2023. Its $4.7 billion loss on EVs averages out to over $64,000 for every electric Ford sold in the US in 2023. Ford’s Board of Directors will have to address the crisis in their CEO office sooner rather than later.
Registrations of Tesla dropped 10% in the last quarter of 2023, the first fall in more than three years in the state, which is one of the most important markets for the electric carmaker and considered a national trend setter.Is it possible that Q4 EV sales plummeted in California because total vehicle sales also fell? Nope. Not the case.
This was the fifth consecutive quarterly increase in new car sales in the state. The Q4 2023 pace of new car sales showed a slight acceleration compared with Q3, posting a 6% increase.Sales of the various forms of hybrid are rising rapidly as even California car buyers are starting to reject EVs.
It's only been a couple months since Tesla started delivering its long-awaited Cybertruck to customers. And as expected, its unusual stainless steel exoskeleton, which can ward off bullets but not stains, is already turning out to be a headache for owners. "Just picked up my Cybertruck today," they wrote. "The advisor specifically mentioned the cybertrucks develop orange rust marks in the rain and that required the vehicle to be buffed out."Tesla super-fans want to believe that the Cybertruck is going to steal a lot of business from traditional full size pickup trucks. It won’t. The Cybertruck will likely be popular with the existing Tesla demographic, serving in the role of an electric El Camino, but heavy-duty pickup truck buyers are not going to buy a vehicle about which one Cybertuck owner wrote, “I think as long as you don't drive it in the rain, or get it wet, it will be fine.”
The problems are not all related to “software.” The testing staff found that the rear seatbelts were unusable, and the crew at Consumer Reports had to repair them before they would work. It took two team members, one of whom is a mechanic, to resolve the issue. There was also a problem with the front floor mats that required repair. Looking for bright spots to offer some balance to the negative review, the team resorted to saying the brakes felt “normal,” and that the door handles worked.Chevrolet (General Motors) was extremely proficient at making mass-market gas-powered cars, but their government apparatchik CEO decided the company should abandon their core competency and transition instead into being a manufacturer of an entirely different product. Now the hopelessly distracted company cannot even reliably manufacture vehicles with a functioning floor mat.
Volvo Cars is committed to becoming a leader in the fast-growing premium electric car market and plans to become a fully electric car company by 2030. By then, the company intends to only sell fully electric cars and phase out any car in its global portfolio with an internal combustion engine, including hybrids.Volvo also entered into a joint venture a few years ago with its parent company, Geely Auto of China, to manufacture EVs under the name Polestar. Unsurprisingly, it’s all falling apart now. “Volvo, An Early Electric Car Adopter, Cuts Off Funding for Its EV Affiliate” [WSJ – 02/01/2024]
Volvo Car said it won’t provide further funding to Polestar, the electric-car maker it created with Volvo’s Chinese owner Geely — the latest EV retrenchment by the global auto industry.
[Polestar CEO Thomas] Ingenlath told Financial Times that Polestar agreed to waive the requirement to buy all 65,000 vehicles as long as Hertz agreed not to sell off its current stock of EVs too quickly or cheaply.In other words, there is such a lack of demand for used EVs that Polestar fears the impact of collapsing prices if more than a few of its unwanted vehicles hit the market at the same time.
Stephen Scherr is Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Hertz. He is focused on transforming the iconic American company into a global leader in shared mobility, electrification, and digital-first customer experience. Prior to joining Hertz in February 2022, Stephen spent nearly three decades at Goldman Sachs.With Scherr’s resume, his global-communist agenda, and degrees from Princeton and Harvard, poor Hertz doesn’t stand a chance with him at the helm. And, of course, as Hertz hemorrhages money and its stock price collapses, Mr. Scherr is looting the company. “Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr’s total compensation of $182 million made him the third highest–paid chief executive in the U.S., according to executive-pay-data and analytics company C-Suite Comp used in a report from the Wall Street Journal.
Mind you, our friends have their Teslas parked in their garage and plugged in ALL THE TIME, yet they were still not getting a full charge during the deep freeze. They also don’t drive their Teslas long-distance. I’d be surprised if they ever used 50% of their charge on a daily basis. The farthest they might go in one direction, pretty much, is to the airport and back. They use their Teslas as a wealthy couple could and should: for local errands and shopping, visiting friends, going to the club, and to the local office for work. Everything within a “close circle.”
After being quite pleased with their Teslas this summer — they were raving about them then — they are now very concerned about owning these cars. And if you know any very wealthy people, many of that class do not like any inconvenience … at all.
I’m sure the bread winner of this couple has already looked into the resale value of their Teslas. And I'm guessing he’s not happy. I expect a Mercedes and a BMW to be in their garage instead of those Teslas in 2024. I will definitely let you know if that happens. I’m calling this couple the “Bellwethers.” I’ve asked my correspondent to keep me informed if/when the Bellwethers sell one (or both) of the Teslas, and what they replace it/them with.
Last fall, engineers at Nebraska’s Midwest Roadside Safety Facility watched as an electric-powered pickup truck hurtled toward a guardrail installed on the facility’s testing ground on the edge of the local municipal airport. The nearly 4-ton (3.6 metric ton) 2022 Rivian R1T tore through the metal guardrail and hardly slowed until hitting a concrete barrier yards away on the other side.Barriers along the medians of divided highways serve to keep out of control vehicles from crossing over into oncoming traffic, thus preventing high-speed, head-on collisions. That simple safety mechanism has saved a tremendous number of lives. Thanks to the “EV transition,” we’ll just have to get used to mangled cars and mangled bodies due to head-on highway collisions again.

They didn't get ahead of the market, they went all in on the grift from Uncle Sugar. Forget what the consumer wants.
Look at Toyota. They have hybrids, sure. But they have cars. Not just SUVs. Ford/GM/Chrysler can't say that. Toyota is growing. US auto manufacturers? Making money but losing their collective asses on EVs.
And since the automakers have been bailed out (sometimes >1) by Uncle Sam - what is their downside?

California had an EV mandate in 1990 - 2% of all vehicles sold would have to be EVs in 1998, and 10% by 2003.
That didn't happen.
Like Brazil, EVs have a great future, and will always have a great future.

EVs where never going to be anything other than a boutique industry for those who saw them as their choice to express their desires. The belief that everyone was going to accept a vehicle that didn't support their desires and lifestyle was not based in reality and one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen an industry make.

They're very flexible and their albums tend to stand apart from one another. As a result, there are entire albums I like more or less than others, and it doesn't follow a time path very nicely.
I was not a huge fan of "The Second Law" or "Simulation Theory" because it went a lot more electronic and that's not my jam, but those two albums - especially "The Second Law" are also narratives in disguise and tell a complete story. You're rewarded for listening through them end-to-end. I just wish I liked them more than I do.

It was tricky, and required upper body strength. The ignition timing was set to a late or retarded position. Engine kickback had a nasty habit of causing the crank to break fingers or wrists.
In fact, the impetus to invent the electric engine starter was because a good friend of the head of General Motors had been killed helping a stranded female motorist, apparently. The engine kicked back, and the crank handle broke his jaw. He died about a week later. Kettering was put on the job.

No, they discussed this with globalist leaders and did so as part of a group goal of eliminating non-EV cars -- without sharing or buy-in from the American people -- because they knew better what was good for

It's much worse than that.
The study found that essentially, road damage was related to the 4th power of the relative loads. That means that if one vehicle carries a load of 1,500 pounds per axle and another carries a load of 3,000 pounds on each axle, the road damage caused by the heavier vehicle is not twice as much, but 2 to the 4th power as much (2x2x2x2 = 16 times as much road damage as the lighter vehicle).

It's amazing, their fuel management. The big '16 LaCrosse with a six-cylinder engine gets about the same mileage on the highway, and on regular, as the four-cylinder '11 Regal did. The BMW's turbo four did better than both (though that needed premium). And the LaCrosse after four years and more with me has been utterly reliable in all departments.

Posted by: Diogenes at February 16, 2024 11:12 AM (W/lyH)
Here in Central CA, most of the chargers are set up all the way at the far end of the parking lots. Most likely because the land owners saw the price tag for running the underground power line to each charger.
On the other hand, the local National Guard armory has four chargers along with great big motorized solar panels that track the sun. All four are in the first row of parking spaces. You might as well save a couple of hundred K for each parking space by putting up a sign that says "Unit Commander's Parking Only". The effect would be the same.

"Also known as the 'nudging'."
-- Cass Sunstein
Hey, I'm happy for people who have chosen to purchase an EV. I can understand having one as an additional city car.
However, we've been living in an environment of government nudge, nudge, nudging people to make the "right" choices since Obama took office. The whole point of the "nudge" is to eliminate the "bad" choices (e.g. get automakers to reduce/eliminate producing them so you can't find or afford the car you want) in order to give people the impression they chose the "right" choice (EVs). People here hostile to EVs are reacting to *that* - we've seen this play out for years with all the talk from globalist and government people about conversion to EVs as if we'd all already agreed to it, that it is a foregone conclusion this will happen. Granholm has been particularly clear about this.

To give an idea of what the electronics enable, Toyota's newest gas engines output 40% of the energy produced by burning the gas to the wheels. That's roughly double what pre-computerized cars could pull off.

They are fine. The Toyota Prius basically owns the taxicab market. Lower operating cost. The battery serves as a load-leveling device that enables the gasoline engine to run at its most efficient speed for a greater amount of the time it's used. Which is probably why the hybrid Buick Lacrosse used the 4-banger engine.

Like so much this asshoe does, I think it's more about getting a headline for his ig'nant supporters.
The Biden administration is laying the groundwork for an ambitious grand bargain that would tie rapprochement between Israel and Saudi Arabia to substantial steps toward Palestinian statehood, according to nine analysts and former U.S. government officials familiar with the plans. The long-shot diplomatic gamble could remake the Middle East and define U.S. President Joe Biden’s foreign-policy legacy, but it faces staggering challenges that many fear will be insurmountable.

I've been driving old Gen 2 Priuses (2004-2007) for the past six years for work (85,000 miles/year).
I buy them with around 150,000 miles on them and always get to at least 300,000 miles before junking them (got 465,000 miles on one before it threw a rod when I believe my Walmart oil change was botched and not enough oil added).
Get between 43 and 47 MPG on the highway -- and more in town. Relatively low maintenance (e.g. rarely need brake jobs since the design is regenerative. Biggest maintenance expenses are directly related to hybrid battery (usually needs replacing every 8 years or so) and it's cooling system (pump, control valve, and/or fan failures).
Only other negative issue is the older ones drink A LOT OF OIL, so it must be checked and replenished frequently.
Oh, and suspension is horrible -- and road gators (blown big rig tires wreak havoc on the low clearance.

Side note: Once dated a girl whose family was not into sports. This was the year the Steelers and Seahawks played in the Super Bowl, which featured more controversial calls than I've ever seen before in my life.
These people watched one game all season (maybe in years) and they all had very strong opinions on rules they just learned about 10 seconds before. Wasn't the lowest level of hell, but it was close.

"I trust Democrats on education more because they do massive experiments with the nation's children that fail, deny that they're failing for years, and then quietly backtrack to undoing the things they implemented going back to the way to teach kids that racisty Republicans wanted from the start. Democrats simply care about kids more."

Here's why: who's going to lead it? Abbas? The Palestinians in the West Bank hate him almost as much as the ones in Gaza do, plus he's 88 years old with no designated successor. Is he going to pick Hamas to lead it? Yeah right. Is Biden going to create some "election" when there is no process to hold one? Or is he going to pick a name out of a hat and try to impose it in them? The entire concept is idiotic.
As idiotic as saying all cars must be EV's by 2030.

Yeah, that's a nonstarter in the Pacific NW, despite our relatively "cheap" electricity. And snow country: I was recently in UT and CO, and can affirm that 1) there were very few EVs parked at ski hills, and 2) there were even fewer charging stations up at ski places or elsewhere up in the mountains. IOW, they're useless to me.

California theoretically will only allow the sale of EVs (and maybe hybrids?) starting in 2035. I'd expect the sale of ICE vehicles to rise as that deadlines gets closer.

180 is the steady-state output of the gas engine. On a hill climb, or under hard acceleration, the battery power is dumped into the electric motor and is added to that. Might even be double for short periods.

Let make the math easy and say 10 pumps each.
1,200,610 gas pumps nationwide.
There are 125,000 electric chargers in the USA.
1. Growing this 10X is probably a 20 to 30 year project.
2. I do not think most station have the electrical infrastructure to add more than 1 or 2 chargers. (super chargers take >30kw transformers).
3. I do not think most current retail locations could even get their local electrical providers to double or triple the power available of that section of the grid.

FACT SHEET: Obama Administration Announces Federal and Private Sector Actions to Accelerate Electric Vehicle Adoption in the United States
The Obama Administration is taking responsible steps to combat climate change, increase access to clean energy technologies, and reduce our dependence on oil. That is why, today, on the heels of the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) first-ever Sustainable Transportation Summit, the Administration is announcing an unprecedented set of actions from the Federal government, private sector, and states, as well as a new framework for collaboration for vehicle manufacturers, electric utilities, electric vehicle charging companies, and states, all geared towards accelerating the deployment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and putting more electric vehicles on the road. The collaboration, forged by the White House in partnership with DOE and the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Airforce and the Army, and the Environmental Protection Agency, and is centered on a set of Guiding Principles to Promote Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure that nearly 50 organizations are signing on to today.

Warranties on the battery might be the earlier of 8 years or 100,000 miles. So, a 3 year old EV has only 5 yrs left in it AT MOST. After that, a repair costs more than the car is worth. Also, charge performance in those last years is extremely poor.

…I’ve got a CRV Hybrid (non plug in). Gets mid 30s mpg overall (up to 45-50 just around town) and love it. But decided long ago to keep it until they get a lot of the below issues worked out.
Several Vail condos here that have underground parking (lots of snow fall here) have been told by their insurance companies they cannot allow EV’s to be parked in the condo garages due to the fire danger. Of course the big Ski Vail parking structures have all the EV chargers on the lower levels.
I read the Vail, Fire Department is very concerned if there was an EV fire on the Interstate 70 or in the Eisenhower (I-70) tunnels because all they can do is try and contain the fire until it burns itself out. Reportedly an EV fire takes up to 30,000 gallons of water to contain (summer Colorado forest fires?) Irreparable damage that could close the I-70 tunnel for months?)

I've bought two. The '22 model had all the problems associated with prototypes. Traded for the '24, which is smooooooth. Trade value, at present, is high. Not sure how value holds as the supply meets the market and the batteries wear out. I guess we'll see.
