Shocker, no one wants overpriced phones on wheels.

I want an EV truck but I'm not paying $80k for an F-150 lightening OR an $80k ICE F150. The price is too damn high, regardless of propulsion tech.

Nothing brings me more joy than watching EV sales in the gutter. Especially all the propoganda about how they are not harmful to the environment.

People are dumb to think that buying a car is an investment.

I think the politicians wanted the people to love EVs but the people said no. Imagine that. Government distorting a market and it doesn’t end well.

Makes sense…but when I buy a car I drive it until the wheels fall off. The market value doesn’t matter to me.

I will stick with my trusty ICE

Unfortunately no one has money for Ev’s and luxury cars. We need dependable economy cars. We need to repeal the chicken tax so we can get the hilux champ in this country

Hybrid is the way to go. The Toyota and Honda hybrids are getting almost 50 mpg! The range is 500-600 miles on a tank. No plug in charging necessary. And you can just press a button and use battery only for quick short trips up to the store. This actually makes sense!

If you're upside down with your vehicle it means you couldn't afford it in the first place

It sounds like the people upset are the ones who are trying to sell after a year or 2 of ownership 😂

Governments will tax the ice cars to $4000 each to give it to each EV buyers. Rip the poors to give to the richs who can afford those toys.

It was easy to see. When you need the government to give you a tax credit of over $7k to buy a product that means said product is not good and people won't buy it unless they getting paid to buy it.

Hey Lucky, I'm a Vegas local, just wanted to share something on the topic of Tesla. At Sahara and Mcleod across the street from United Nissan, that giant old Kmart and parking lot is now a dumping ground for Teslas. I thought they were stocking up for a big season, but maybe they can't sell them, or they are stockpiling them for some other reason but they are packed in there. Just thought I would share.

Locally they are being abandoned in large numbers at EV repair shops when they get their repair estimates.

Did not get past the opening premise "Numbers don't lie". Okay, 18.4% share in Germany, down YoY from 20.5% Germany rolled back incentives and only lost 2.1% 24.7% share in the UK, up from 21.9% 24.3% share in France in April 2024, growing from 21.1% Norway in April, roughly flat from 91.1% year on year. BEVs alone took 89.4% share, up from 83.3% The question you need to ask is , can the U.S. auto industry survive if it only lives in the U.S.?

This is great news for me. I love my EV. So the lower prices go, the more options I have to choose from 🙂

Thanks for starting the video with "no one wants to buy EVs." Because I wouldn't mind having an EV... I don't want to pay for the price of an EV.

Cars should be looked at like a tool or appliance. The modern mindset of looking at everything as an asset is getting out of control. Vehicles are expected to lose value. It doesn't lose any value the longer you keep it. Nobody should be buying a new car, EV or not, unless theyve had their old car for 8 years or more.

Today Tyler Hoover was talking about lots full of Teslas that aren't sold. It was on his good morning KZfaq channel.

Went back to the ice BMW after 5 years with Tesla... Never looked back. EV are just garbage.

Congress needs to completely overhaul the Cafe standards. It was intended to improve gas mileage but they left the loophole for bigger cars; so now giant, expensive vehicles are all that anyone makes. Most of us want small inexpensive cars and trucks that get great gas mileage.

You’re right people still want EVS and they’re still decently selling. It’s just that people just don’t want the huge cost of one.

Some of you may have seen this. I caught a KZfaq video last week about this EV repair shop in Washington State (I think that is the number one EV adoption State). He has over 300 EV there, literally acres.

I never understood why people here in the midwest would ever buy an EV. Over the winter some people couldn't even start those cars because of the cold.

EV infrastructure isn’t there and along with me not feeling good about it I bought a nice ice 2024 Chev diesel duramax! And I love it !

I want hybrids. Electric motor up front that gives you crazy acceleration up to 40mph, then from 40 to 60 things are mixed to 60 mph, and then from 60-80mph your all on gas sipping fuel from a 1.0 liter 4 cylinder. You dont need a ton of power above 60mph which means you can have a small motor out back. This also means you dont need a massive heavy pack you only need a pack that has a 40 mile range. That is 40 miles around town. Outside of town on the highway mileage is all on gasoline with that tiny fuel sipping engine. You gain mileage above 60mpg, 0-60 acceleration under 5 seconds(all electric) closer to a daily acceptable 8 seconds mixed. You can have all your EV features like electric regenerative breaking and things like crash avoidence. but the best thing is you never need to plug in ever. Now if you wanted you could make it a choice. But out on the highway all your highway breaking will be done with regen as the front breaks are mounted to the front motor proving a majority of the breaking. This means if you travel 30 miles on the highway and lets say 5 miles of that is down hill you could potentially regenerate a good amount of the pack to then use that regenerated electric during the average 5 or so miles of a 35 mile commute(one way)off highway. It is no secret ev's do horribly at higher speeds and they also hate the cold. So you throw a small engine in the back of the car which drives the back wheels through a simple cvt 2 speed that only needs gearing to go from 60-80mph (on its own)doing things like keeping the pack's temperature happy, and letting the electric do all the heavy torque jobs while that 1.0 4 cylinder can provide all the light work while the electric motor rest. From a sports car perspective no one is taking a note from what indy car has been doing for years. By using hybrids they have essentially allowed to have a few seconds of electric "boost". With the hybrid shown above you could also have that electric boost above say 80% throttle for that quick pass before dropping back into gas sipping mode as you coast really only needing a very bit of horsepower to maintain your speed. This might sound over complicated. But its really not. This gives us time to build the proper infrastructure. This will get people interested in partial electric. This will save on both fuel and resources leading to a drop in entry cost for these hybrids. You can buy that 25mpg all gas car or you can buy the 60mpg hybrid that has better acceleration and fewer moving parts in the engine and transmission. Because the pack is smaller the cost to replace it is substantially less. Because it is a hybrid that pack will also last longer. We could have kept moving forward with hybrid tech but everyone jumped on the full EV trend and now full gas is the current trend while the mix of the two has been forgotten.

All I know in So Cal everyone seems to be driving a Tesla so someone is buying them.

Lucky, I bought a new model Y last month and didn’t over pay like so many people did. I love the car,specially when I can charge at home when the gas prices here in LA is over $5.00. Cars are not investments and no one is promising that your car is going to keep its value. We need to start looking at EV as tech and not rush out and buy the latest and over pay.

Basically, anyone that can’t install a home charger, is traveling, cares about the environment, wants: to tow stuff, a vehicle that doesn’t depreciate massively, cheaper insurance and repair bills, safety, to quickly fill their tank to 100%, greater range on a fill up, to quickly find a place to fill up, a vehicle that doesn’t eat through tires, or a vehicle that doesn’t lose range over time, doesn’t want a stupid BEV.

Sorry that people bought at the wrong time then soon wanted to sell it. I'm not selling mine. I just did a 450 mile camping trip in my Model Y. I charged at home at night for half price. Then i charged at the campground. My total electricity cost was $3. And I slept in the car.

I bought an used Chevy bolt 3 years ago for 16.4K and I love it. I don't have to worry about gasoline prices or routine oil changes. The performance is great; you would need to purchase premium fuel to get the same performance from an ICE vehicle.

I recently purchased a brand new 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ fully loaded. The only negative complaint that I have for electric vehicles is regarding the charging in infrastructure. I used to have to drive 10 miles to get to the nearest EV go charging station. More recently (four months later) and EVgo charging station was placed just 4 miles away from my house. Far easier for me to get to and now my range anxiety is almost gone. Tesla super vehicles I will have rang anxiety and I will feel comfortable driving my EV anywhere in the entire country I want to go.

They finally cost what they should have from the beginning 😂

correction, nobody wants to buy any car. Tesla sales are up compared to other cars by some margin. Tesla killed 2nd hand prices by dropping their prices so much.

I disagree Lucky, it’s not so much people dont want EVs. People dont want anything right now across the board. High prices, negative equity, and high interest rates are a recipe for slow sales. The only vehicles selling in my area are specialty vehicles and buckets. I absolutely do agree however with your sentiment on Tesla and price drops, they 💯 f@cked the secondary, they’re previous loyal buyers.

Been saying this from the beginning and getting a lot of heat. 😂😂😂😂😂 When you see fan boys anywhere.... RUN AND RUN FAST. That is the first sign. 😂😂😂😂

I still want a 1996 caprice classic.

I bought a Blazer EV and a Gas Silverado a month ago. With the $7,500 credit and another $2,000 off, I’m pleased with it. I bought it though as an around town vehicle, it could never be my own vehicle. Already drove the truck out of state 3 times, 600 miles on one tank!

Nobody wants EVs, but in the street you can see EVs.

I just bought a 2030 Tesla model 3.with 14500 miles. It’s so clean, I paid cash and got an amazing deal. I can’t believe how inexpensive it is. I’ll be keeping it and I have a back up gas car. I realized I could afford it because of your videos so thank you.

Just wait to see the price reduction for Tesla in July. This will kill the EV.

Too soon you get old, too late you get smart-----the perfect EV slogan.

After dealing with Coolant intrusion into cylinders, failed turbo, rear main seal leaks, catastrophic engine and transmission failures, fuel injection issues I will be looking at an EV. Used EV's are absurdly cheap these days. I can find a great use case for an EV as an everyday local get-around car. I keep an ICE as well for the occasional long distance trip.

They have to go in a totally different direction for low emission cars. Fuel cell? Hydrogen? But cars with huge batteries is just a bad idea.

I remember when people thought it was a statue symbol to drive a Tesla... I NEVER cared or wanted one 🤷🏽

Say what you want- I’ll always have one. Next to my 911 manual and V8 tundra. It’s my commuter. I save about 400 mo in fuel. Take my savings and tax rebate into an index fund.. in 1.5 years it’s at $17000 and climbing. Does your ice car do that? No

I am thankful for my Nissan Leaf SL Plus with Leather and Bose sound system. It’s super quick and quiet with smooth ride. The interior is similar to a normal vehicle, but the best part is charging for free and not paying for gas. 25 gallons in California is $150/wk. $6 x 100 gal is $600/mo. That’s more than a car payment. Who cares if it depreciates when it saves $600/ month in gas bills. Mine is a 2019 and still has 100% battery capacity with 226 miles range. Plus, no other costs like oil changes or brakes. The original tires are 5 years old with 34k miles. I also have a SL500 and F350 with 7.3 diesel, but I love to drive the Leaf whenever I can for running around and day trips to Malibu or San Diego from OC.

Well I think 1.8 million people in 2023 might have a different opinion

Here in New York City EV’s are selling very well. Even Toyota is selling the BZ Forex easily. I think the real problem is the interest rates are so high that the people who want electric vehicles can’t get them because they can’t afford them. Insurance rates are high as well. But before we talk about electric vehicles, let’s talk about vehicles. Dealers are having a hard as hell time selling gas vehicles as well. Again, the interest rates and the insurance rates are sky high.

Love my Tesla Model Y. EV Used cars are selling like hot cakes.

I've had my LEAF for 7 years and have only put a set of tires and three sets of wipers on it...and I've only been out $200 per year in electricity = LOVE IT

As an avid bicyclist, I see more electric bicycles on the trails than non-electric

When have mechanical issues OR an accident in an EV and u see those estimates & wait times. U be glad that ice car still burning gas

This is a transition with new tech. New technology prices drop fast and people dont want to buy used tech. But the previous generation of tech will go to essentially zero. For example VHS players, when Dvds first came out. People who bought DVD players at the beginning spent a lot of money. There were people who still purchased a lot of VHS players but eventually those sales all went to 0 with no resale value. With the Dvd players no one was buying used ones, theyd buy new, especially in the early years because prices were dropping so quickly.

Great video. Right on. I used to look at Tesla with envy. Now, with disdain

The entire car market is in a deplorable state. The population is heavily indebted, high interest rates prevent businesses from developing, which kills consumer demand. Self-propelled Joe's policies are leading the country into a deep depression.

Why would I pay that for a faster golf car with better range? 😂

I'm thinking about buying a Model 3 today at Hertz Car sales. 2022 Gray Model 3 with about 70,000 miles for $23,500 and it will qualify for the $4k federal tax credit.

Just bought my 2024 Dark Horse Premium (manual), and I’m scared of depreciation, which is why it still only has 200 miles on it. But I’m hoping since the dark horse is limited it won’t drop hard. Or I can just drive the hell out of it and enjoy it

I'm waiting for solid state battery technology to become available and allowed to mature before even considering a EV purchase

I don't see an infrastructure for reselling EVs. For example, is there a trustworthy of telling the condition of the battery?

What no one seems to talk about is that we may have reached the saturation point on EVs. The market can only accommodate so many of a particular type of vehicle - SUVs, pickups, sedans, minivans, EVs, hybrids, etc. idiots thought EVs would replace all ICE cars and hybrids.

Tesla reducing costs each quarter is a good thing... Nobody wants to pay original price for a 1 year used TV, phone, car etc. Car engine tech improvements have stalled... Each year batteries will continue to see improvements, lowering costs.

my market for used EVs literally almost exactly the same right now as it was in december 2023. every once in awhile a dealer has to move a car, it gets discounted by a couple grand and then the listing gets removed a few days later. sounds like the market is just wrong about price.

Truth I don't want my 19 year old daughter driving an ev. Simply because if she has to charge it somewhere she will have to wait 45 minutes in the car and it's not even guaranteed when she get to a charging station.

I like them , BMW and Mercedes EV’s are killing it in south Florida not to mention Kia and Hyundai , Tesla is just consistent here. I have a BMW Hybrid though lol 😆

It is not that nobody wants EVs. It is that EVs available on the US market are too expensive for the increasingly budget-constrained American consumer. Hell, folks are even cutting back on McDonald's and Dollar Tree like they have never done. Car sticker prices have been creeping higher relentlessly along with other big ticket consumer spending items like housing, rent, insurance. These big items are rising at double digit rates over the past few years and each in turn shave off thousands of dollars in consumers' disposable income, not a few scores of dollars like food and clothing. Cutting back on spending on clothing and food saves just too little and cannot make up for the effective loss of purchasing power attributable to the rising costs of big ticket costs e.g. housing/rental costs/rising car prices.

I hope your right!! Because i want an EV.. Hope this takes off. Will be the best deal. in town. Good luck....

Thank you so much for the update and the work you put out there. I’m favored financially with Bitcoin ETFs approval, Thank you buddy. $12,000 monthly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.

File this one under common sense. And dropping prices isn't screwing your customer, it's trying to get customers.

@Lucky I love how positive you are.

EV's suck!

The BEV is dead - stick a fork in it. 3 things killed it: 1) Range anxiety - on a cold or hot day you can lose 1/3 of your range 2) Charging anxiety - try to go on a road trip in a Tesla and a computer must plan your stops - adds hours to your trip - if the charging stations aren't backed up 3) Depreciation anxiety - my 2 year old Tesla Model Y has lost 2/3 of its MSRP - the resale market is dead and elon just makes life miserable for his customers. Hybrids are taking over - none of the above crap or just stick with gasoline - nothing wrong with them

As soon as those cars are being used to taxi people around, we’ll see how the volume continues to drop

I heard someone refer to EV's as appliances. That's what we need to do over time. Differentiate them from cars. Then we have cars and appliances. Then one can say "I am driving a Tesla appliance". That will ring some bells.

I'm favoured, $67K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.

I want an EV, that's why my second car is a Nissan Leaf. Bought it for $4000 and have driven 30,000 miles on it with only paying a total of $23.87 on fuel over the last 3 years.

Been doin more than fine in my model 3. No gas bills alone is a game changer.

I do, I just bought a used Tesla 3 Long Range! Saved so much money, insane deal for 0-60 in 4.0 seconds. Are you serious, have you ever driven one, so fast!

Another thing nobody is talking about. EV Batteries need to be replaced after 10 yeand and the cost Is in 1000s 😕👎😡

As an American I hate when the government tries to force me to buy a glorified golf cart. Give me a mustang gt350 with a manual transmission

I’d never buy a Ev. Not only are they way to expensive but it’s the range & time it takes to charge them… but then again i can’t imagine buying any new car ever. I’ll Likely drive some form of a Honda civic or Toyota Corolla my whole life. If I one day splurge perhaps I’ll buy a used Tacoma. I’d much prefer to invest any extra income instead of spend it on a stupid car. I get it some people really like cars, but to me they’re just A to B transportation.

Love my Model S. Got a used one with 2k miles for about 25k off msrp.

No Prius to look at for 1 - 2 yrs Ordered a Tesla Came in in 2 wks Best car I ever owned

Nobody wants one because they've never driven one.

There was a news story in Philly about vandals stealing parts off charging stations for the precious metals, rendering the charging stations unusable. One more strike against electric vehicles.

All markets go through this. Entire Auto market was inflated. Good deals on the horizon.

DEVAS = Disposable Electric Vehicle And Software Who would by a 6-year old USED cell phone? Now you get it.

I wouldn't say "nobody" Lucky. It's just that all 6 people who want an EV already own one. 🤣

It’s the same with houses too. Just waiting for that shoe to drop. Homes are to live. Ppl bidding over paying was pure madness. They are not worth that much

I’m an ICE muscle car guy. But I’ve owned Tesla’s since 2013 (model S and X). My wife and I use them to commute in So Cal. Our gas prices are horrendous and the FSD is getting better every day (great in traffic). EV’s are great for commuting and driving local. However, I’ll never buy one new. They depreciate too much!

EV batteries degrade over time. Used EVs have a fraction of their new battery range. An EV after 10 years isn’t the same car.

You couldn't give me an EV! Who wants to sit for an hour to charge, who wants to get 200 miles before a recharge, who wants to not run the AC or heater because it drains the battery. Who wants to replace the battery in 5 years. Not to mention, they become 6000 lb paperweights in cold weather. Need I go on? Evs suck!

Yes let the price continue to drop I’ll be buying one real soon

I'm still buying one. Also have a stick shift car. And an SUV.

I’m in the Deep South and run AC 9-10 months out of the year. I have a Honda Civic that gets 28-32 combined-ish and 42 hwy, and it’s not a hybrid, just a simple ICE car. Car makers need to return to making affordable, quality, point-A-to-point-B cars. They would fly off the lots.

I bought a Toyota Avalon hybrid best car I've ever owned great gas milage great car forget evs

My household has 4 evs, all paid off, plus I use section 179 and other irs rules, my evs pay me and i dont have to go in for service

Nobody? My wife drives a KIA and five years of ownership have had zero problems. I occasionally drive it on my 40 mile one way commute and wish I had bought one as well. Perfect machine for an 80 mile a day commute. May not be for everybody but some Americans find them quite useful.
