It's one thing to have a Vision, and totally another to achieve it.

Musk has achieved much of his vision.

If Renault is to ever come close to achieve their vision, they're going to have to do something about the sales of their "Spring" model, which is only the second best selling EV, after the Tesla model Y, while the Spring occupies what should be the largest and most affordable market segment.

check the specs of the Dacia Spring and you will understand it's not for everybody ...!

It still fits into a larger affordability segment than the Tesla.

Dacia Spring is competing with its ICE Sandero counterpart - which is cheaper, is very economical, and has better specs. https://covexit.substack.com/p/electric-vehicles-are-they-really

Once again I re-itterate, the Spring and Sandero are in a lower, more affordable and larger market segment, which means for those wanting an EV in that market segment, there should most certainly be more buyers than in the pricing segment of the Tesla, which means that as far as EV's go, the Spring should be able to outsell the Tesla.

I'm sure as hell not going to buy any Dachia or Tesla irrespective of the pricing or the features.

Anybody buying a Tesla needs his head read especially after the sudden price cuts which have devalued existing owners vehicles.

Small batteries don't get one very far... A problem for American car owners unless EV is used for city travel. Wouldn't get one out of harms way in a looooong state like FL during storm season.

Can't charge a battery without electricity= fossil fuels .

CA can't even supply enough energy to their population as is ...

Need a battery that can get you out of a state like FL for hurricane emergencies .. can't afford to line up to charge a battery as you make your storm weather escape...

These EVs are known to explode and the manufacturing process is absolutely NOT green.....

An overall big thumbs down to EV cars. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Dealers can't get rid of their EV inventory........

Oh.. and those damn huuuuge batteries... What to do with them.. landfill ????.

No thank you to EV technology.‼️

Another Govt ruse to force people into their BS Green Agenda.

Fossil fuels are here to stay for at least 50+ plus years.

Take that to the bank...

Dream on that "alternative energy " will keep us in the modern age...
