78% Of Car Buyers In Market Would Consider An EV
This is a big win for Tesla.
According to Motor Trend, 78% of the people who identified themselves as car buyers in the market would consider purchasing an EV. This does not mean they will; they cannot. There are not enough EVs produced to achieve this.
In this video I discuss how Tesla will be the big winner in this. The fact people are getting over range anxiety and other things is really telling. Now it comes down to who can produce the numbers to get it into people's hands.

I see electric vehicles as being an option but not a reality.
On top of the technology it needs a lot more growth before it is actually viable.
You would have to turn the roads into solar panels as well as weight transfer electrical generation... Plus add electricity to make it work. Complete and total shift to a different system.

I had an EV for 5 years. I gave it up 6 years ago so I was very early. For the first 2 years I could swap batteries in 5 mins so I could drive anywhere in Israel with minimal fuss but the battery swap station infrastructure went bust in year 2. There was a good reason to have a smaller battery and swapping but Tesla's approach of giant batteries won in the end. Also the Renault I had was shit and the thermal management of the battery was a catastrophe (it didn't really have thermal management).
But now Israel is finally filling up with EV's and the rest of the infrastructure can't cope. Apartment buildings can't provision enough chargers, there's no significant public charging infra, very few people have private houses. Overall it's going to be a shit show for a while to come.
EV's will work great but multi-person dwellings and on street parking will remain a catastrophe for ever.
So good, so bad. The problems is that these cars generate additional waste that contributes to soil pollution. I wonder what's the perfect solution for clean transportation. Bicycles, perhaps?
Eventually, right now the tech is not there yet for Canadian winter.
Summary:
In this video, Task discusses the importance of the automotive sector for Tesla, emphasizing that a significant portion of its revenue and profits come from this division. He mentions a survey by MotorTrend indicating that 78% of car buyers are open to considering purchasing an electric vehicle (EV). Task highlights the diminishing concern over range anxiety among potential buyers and notes that the main barriers are now related to pricing, as EVs are still not as affordable as traditional gasoline-powered vehicles in many markets.
Detailed Article:
Task delves into the core of Tesla's business, the automotive sector, emphasizing its significance in driving the company's revenue and profitability. He mentions previous videos where he discussed Tesla's energy division and how after the shareholder meeting, the company was framed more as an AI company. However, in this video, Task redirects the focus back to Tesla's main source of revenue, which is its automotive division.
The discussion revolves around the current state of the automotive market, particularly in relation to EVs. Task brings up a survey conducted by MotorTrend involving potential car buyers, revealing that 78% of respondents are open to the idea of buying an EV. He notes that this high percentage does not necessarily translate to actual purchases due to limited EV options in the market.
Range anxiety, which was a significant concern for EV adoption in the past, seems to be diminishing as more people are willing to consider EVs despite this issue. Task points out that most people's daily travel needs can be met within the range of current EVs and that as charging networks expand, long trips become more feasible for EV owners.
The conversation then shifts to pricing as a major barrier to widespread EV adoption. Task acknowledges that EVs are still not as affordable as traditional gas-powered vehicles, especially in the lower-end market segment. He predicts that as technology advances and economies of scale improve, EVs will become more accessible to a broader range of consumers in the coming years.
Task also briefly mentions specific EV models that are gaining attention for their performance, such as Teslas, BYD vehicles, the Ford F-150 Lightning, and the Rivian. He highlights that while these models are impressive, their production numbers from companies like Ford, General Motors, and Rivian are still relatively low compared to the potential demand.
In conclusion, Task sees the survey results as a positive sign for EV adoption, indicating a shift in consumer mindset away from traditional gas vehicles. However, the affordability of EVs remains a significant hurdle to widespread adoption, which he believes will improve as the EV market matures and technology advances.
