At 7:10 Tesla's 500,000 is quoted as "last year's" figure but was in fact the 2020 figure. The date of this video is 14th March 2022. Tesla production in 2021 was over 936,000. This is a glaring error because the correct figure has been public information for nearly a quarter of a year. Is any of the other information accurate?
yeah this video was made quite a while ago it seems. Another hint was the "ford is about to release the mach-e" bit seeing that it's been out for well over a year now (december 2020)
I had seen parts of this video last year. I think they just edit previous videos and add some new contents and presented as new video with new heading.
They can call it whatev they want really. The truth will always remain the truth; that they are ages behind. I mean the strongest soft power influence of the US is their propaganda machine, the media. Not the first time they use subtle language microaggressions against China. They'd apply this underworld filter to gray out the skies and leaves when they show views from China too.
"Chinese tech isn't at par with American" seems to be the narrative in first half of video. That's what they said when Japanese cars entered America, and the rest is history. One can't look down on China in the EV game. They are far ahead than we give them credit for.
That was such a bs statement, nio and xpung have amazing quality cars technology wise and build quality. Sometimes surpassing tesla and other luxury car brands

@@boxerpop82 The competition in Chinese EV market is way bloodier than it is in America. High demands in both quality and quantity in Chinese EV market. Plus, every major car manufacture around the globe competes with each other in China as well as the local counterparts. It's bloody. No joke.
Decent, but they're missing out on the biggest story, the story of BYD'S mastery of vertical integration. The fact that they are making their own chips, battery cells (that don't use cobalt or nickel), and already selling EVs at purchasing price parity with gasoline vehicles is the big story. The guy that said Chinese EVs do not have the quality of Western products has no idea what he's talking about. Not only do they have the quality, but most Chinese EVs have much better specs, like 800v structural packs, heat pumps, v2L abilities, etc. Legacy automakers are in big trouble.
Agreed, the comment disparaging the quality of Chinese EVs was completely wrong. Herbert Diess of VW could put CNBC right on that. He has said recently that VWs global competition is not other legacy car makers but Tesla and the Chinese.
All good points. The only issue with China is that nobody outside of China wants to buy their cars... because they're Chinese 🤷♂🤷♂ China will snag market share in a few countries, but not in US/Europe which "big auto" cares the most about.
Unlike Oil. There is not enough lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) on the planet to power all the cars in the world. Just like Wind and Solar can not replace Coal for 1.4 billion people energy needs in China. All electric cars , there is no way it's just a matter of numbers.
What most people don't realize, is that GM is basically no longer GM. Shortly after the US government bailed them out, SAIC bought 51% of GM. GM has since bought 1% back to share control, but the reality is that GM's electric division is now, and forever will be, a Chinese based and run company.... The US taxpayer bailed GM out, and the big wigs sold it to China shortly thereafter.... Keep that in mind when you buy your next car....
4:44 I need to point out, Chinese authority never set the rule to charge more for purchasing traditional car, the price has always been like that whether it’s high or low. The authority has significantly reduced the price on electronic cars by cutting sales-tax or financial support for car companies, and almost no charge on getting a green plate which allows you to drive int city with no restriction during rush hour. The regular plate which is the blue plate, the number of blue plates being issued each year is limited, so it is expensive to acquire.

As for battery swapping, there has to be a way to prevent scams. You buy a new car with a new battery. The first time you pull in to swap battery, the independent battery swap business gives you back an older used battery. The business then sells that new battery and buys 2 or 3 older batteries. Rinse and repeat. Never underestimate the U.S. business mindset to scam for easy money.
To consider battery swapping as an option is the first problem. The infrastructure cost for battery swap stations across the whole country is simply not realistic, and when batteries last 300 miles a charge, there's no need for swapping stations wtihin the city for daily commute. Any owner would rather plug in their car, charge for cheap rather than taking valuable time each week to drive all the way to a swap station, line up, and pay extra for the same amount of energy.
Yes. Either battery swapping is for additional packs for longer journeys in addition to the small pack that comes with your car, or you buy a battery-less EV and arrange a separate contract for electric miles. Either way the battery swap supplier has to charge a lot of money to pay for all its battery packs and swap stations. And if you drive around for months plugging in elsewhere to recharge the swap company's battery packs in your vehicle, how does the swap company get paid? Better Place had to forbid its users from plugging in elsewhere.
BYD sales only exceed Tesla when both BEVs and plug-in hybrid sales are added together. BYD is now second to Tesla in world wide sales of BEVs having overtaken Volkswagen this year.
Forget about battery swapping . Charge at home when not in use. Range anxiety is a non issue among EV owners. Tesla is the leader among manufacturers. China is the leader among countries.
Frankly, I think that’s a blanket statement there. Range anxiety is a non issue only when you’re talking about short distance commutes, which is clearly NOT battery swapping techs are targeting.
@@doniel2008 150+ miles in each direction is more than enough for the average driver. The average driver travels less than 30 miles from home even when they drive 100 miles a day.
Range anxiety and charging is a real issue to city populations that live in apartments without parking lots. You buy transportation to suit your lifestyle, not the other way around.
Lots of misinformation here. One glaring piece of misinformation was a statement about how much experience Volkswagen has building cars, when in fact they have little experience building electric cars. Their own CEO said Tesla is building them 3 times faster than they are and Tesla has their own battery factory and technology. Poor research or paid misinformation??
Diess also recently said that if it wasn't for their new Wolfsberg plant, they wouldn't be able to compete with Tesla and that plant won't be operational for at least another 2 years...ramped in 2 more. Meanwhile Tesla will be starting their ramps at those 2 new factories NOW and Shanghai is already the largest auto plant in the world with run rates of close to 1M today.
To win a race you have to have a finishing line. There is no such limit here. Some makes will become dominant, but fashion and world events set new goals. All markets go through growth, settlement and decline. No doubt someone in the future will declare types of battery are not green, blue or whatever. New companies will evolve to renew existing batteries.
This is a thinly-veiled hit piece on Tesla. No I’m not an Elon fanboy. It just totally ignores Teslas dominance and current growth trajectory. Two huge factories opening this month….
@@bzoned9808 oh shut up dude stop being a fanboy. Tesla isn't the only car making E.V anymore. Not only do they have competition in China but also western and eastern companies are making E.V which is getting better reviews than Tesla. Tesla is like a hype train but their car has been noted for bad build quality.
Another triggered Tesla fanboy. I wish you Tesla cultists who flip your sh!t every time someone says something good about VW EVs would direct your anger at ICE instead. When Tesla fanboys are more hostile to Tesla competitors than Musk, something has gone wrong.
VW better at ramping than Tesla? Unmentioned is the pace at which the two companies can push their vehicles out the door. VW's Herbert Diess noted that it takes VW three times as long to make an ID series car as it takes Tesla to make a Model Y at its Chinese factory. Yet at the Berlin factory, the Model Y will take even less time thanks to major cast-molding of its frame.

There will always be areas where its not financially advantageous for public transit to traverse in. Too long a distance with few people to pick up for moving about is the killer of public transit.
@@daviddill5227 it's an endless loop. There isn't a high demand for public transportation, because there isn't enough public transportation... All the people in those areas who don't have good public transportation, drive. And they don't want to hear about a bus cause a bus is for losers in a lot of people's minds. The *only* places where public transportation won't work is places where, physically, there aren't many people.

Tesla will sell between 1.7 and 2.0 million EV's in 2022. The sold 936k in 2021. They will sell over 3 million in 2023. They are opening 2 new massive plants and produce their vehicles 300% faster than anyone else. Moreover, their technology and their vehicles are superior. And its an American company. Kudo's to the Tesla team! You're amazing!
It's now 2024 and Chinese EVs have surpassed Tesla and other American EVs in build quality and technological innovations. The Chinese basically owned all the IPs needed to dominate the EV world market. For the best EV technology, we even have to buy from them until we caught up. Thank God our government's political and economic might kept Chinese EVs out of US, Canada, and several European markets.
You don't seem to understand how superior Tesla's charging network is. 1) Higher average number of stalls per location, so you're more likely to find one that's available. 2) Higher average power output per stall, for faster charging. 3) Better software; you just plug in and walk away, without swiping a card or punching in a PIN. The App tells you when it's done. 4) Much more reliable; by comparison, Electrify America stations are infamous for being out of service when you get there. 5) Better locations, next to nice shopping and food areas. And 6) Way more locations world wide.
This video ignores everything going in Tesla's favor. They also assume Tesla is just going to lay down while the others try to expand. Tesla growth is still outpacing the competition and they are still accelerating.
The best charging stations to invest in are? A friend visited- "Come to our place?" 4 hour drive away with gas van. They arrived 1/2 hour later. 20 min, for charging stop ? An other 10 minute limited charge to get home-- EH! Where?
I don’t consider plug in hybrid vehicles as in the same category as battery electric vehicles. Their batteries are too miniscule in terms of kWh capacity.
@@MyKharli The 10% is for the long runs when they don't want to stop and charge. As long as electric is cheaper than gas, people will use as much electric as possible.
Hybrids are developed (under pressure by governments) to be able to comply to tighter regulations, not as an idea from the car makers to make ICE cleaner! Hybrids don't count because they are basically ICE.

Range anxiety might be a top concern among non EV owners... but I can guarantee range anxiety is not a top concern among long-range EV (ex. Tesla) owners.
@@ken830 If you live in one of the 6 states that buy most of the Ev's here, you might have enough chargers. Most states though don't have enough and most Americans will never buy an EV.
@@davewhite113 Never is a long time. Let's come back in 5 years & 10 years (infinitely less than "never"), and then let's see how well each of our comment ages... Besides roadtrips, most EV owners charge at home. I understand that for people that don't have home charging, this is not a viable option today, but things will improve. As EV adoption takes hold, there will be a day when gas stations will rapidly close and then the refueling advantage of the gas cars due to the existing infrastructure will vanish.
I also find it funny that after a decade of fear, uncertainty, and doubt we still talk about the global EV market in terms of "Tesla and everyone else." Vindication must feel pretty good right now.
That situation is only really true in the USA where the EV market is poorly developed and Tesla is in prime place. In both Europe and China, the situation is VERY different. In Europe Tesla currently holds a 7% market share of all *electric cars* sold and ~2% of the total car market. It's actually in 10th place with minor players such as Nissan ahead of it i the sales league table. VW Group has the lion's share with 5 brands and ~8-9 different models followed by Stellantis with EVs from Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, Vauxhall and Fiat. The opening of Tesla's factory in Berlin will doubtless add to the sales numbers but it has a serious way to go with it's expensive luxury models only that are beyond the budgets of most.Renault has an electric vehicle available at 1/4 the cost of a Tesla ! I see Tesla's weakness as NOT having a truly affordably priced model, nor does it offer any commercial vehicles in a market with around 10 electric vans. I see the commercial vehicles sector being HIGHLY important. In China Tesla has very strong competition too from the likes of home manufacturers BYD, Nio, Xpeng, SAIC and almost too many others to list. Again, it is not in any number one position.
@@grahamstevenson1740 Tesla clearly has a top down disruption model, the affordable 25k dollar car is the nail in the coffin and is planned. We'll see what the numbers from Giga Berlin, 1 factory, stacks against VW's 19 in a year. I hope VW turns into a great EV manufacturer, I'm not a fan of the massive Chinese EV's on the way. Tesla will win ultimately, thanks to its other company ties such as SpaceX, Boring, and Neuralink and vertical integration. besides car making is an Elon hobby to pay for the rockets, so the consumer gets the best product.
I get the argument for swapping but it really isn't needed. Car charging has significantly improved in the past few years. Even fleet vehicles will have several hours a day were they are not being used.
What about batter upgradeability and what if autonomous fleet taxi works 24/7. You need NIO because the battery tech is rapidly evolving so you can easily upgrade batteries rather than throw away the vehickes, or keep junk batteries
@@LetsLearnEconomic How do you "easily upgrade the batteries"? But having 13 times the number of packs in swap stations. Having to swap them out using trucks when a new version comes out. Having to "chase" the old packs which are still in cars then being returned to swap stations, a d remove them BEFORE the next car in line needs that pack. Having to (probably) upgrade the firmware and/ or the BMS to optimise the new pack type (so wait before driving?) It's a logistical nightmare.

My goodness. Despite CNBC releasing this video just two days ago, most of the information in the narrative is super old and by definition is wrong. This coming Tuesday, Giga-Berlin fires up, and a few weeks later, Giga-Austin will as well. Each of these plants, once fully ramped will become the world's largest auto plants in the world. Tesla is making huge margins on vehicles today - and they continue to improve - and now is regularly increasing their vehicle selling prices just to prevent the wait-times for their customers from becoming too long. Let me be blunt. Tesla is the only mass EV maker today that is turning a profit on EVs. Period. Another important point. Having greater numbers of different EV models to sell is NOT a recipe for success in this new market. It will only take away from achieving scale which in turn will increase costs. Tesla is running away from the packs even faster now. With only some minor exceptions, all of the legacy automakers started far too late getting 'serious' about EVs. Many of them right now do not have a strong enough balance sheet to survive one more recession.

@@HELLO7657 More products are often good, but it can be bad if companies offer too many products that don't functionally differ from one another. This has happened before and it virtually destroyed a company in the computer industry. Back in the early 2010s, the SSD was becoming a hit. It was lighter, smaller, more efficient and faster. One company, OCZ, jumped into the market in 2010 when SSDs were expensive and the technology wasn't stable. They poured everything into their SSDs - so much so that their existing DDRAM business started failing. The fledgling SSD market quickly became over-saturated with OCZ products. There was the Onyx, the Agility, the RevoDrive, the Vertex and the Octane, but they were all pretty much the same. They offered different ports or form factors, but they never actually changed the variables that customers wanted - price and speed. Eventually OCZ SSDs began failing just like their DDRAM and they were sold to Toshiba where it died after a scandal with the SEC about inflating revenues. EVs are a lot like SSDs. People are craving longer range and lower prices. That's it. Crack that secret sauce and you will have more sales. With EVs, offering a different form factor might sell better than SSDs did, but there is a risk of oversaturating the market with vehicles offering the same range and power thinking it will gain them more customers. This is not necessarily true. You need to provide what customers demand.
@@HELLO7657 it's true, Tesla had a large issue in supply chain because they offered too many customizations. Since Tesla reduced it's options, the assembly line became streamlined and production increased dramatically.

I honestly don’t think the time it takes to charge is important, vehicle range is far more important. If I have 800 to 1000 miles of range in a charge that takes 25 minutes, why on earth would I want to battery swap? This is where battery technology is headed.
You don't need a swap, or 800-1000 miles of range. You "need" the car to Outrange you. Then recharge sufficiently to repeat that while you "reset". Nothing more.
Well done China! I like how the country is pushing for clean nuclear power and then BEVs. That's two side of the same coin. It's not the same as Germany who like to think they are green with EVs while drawing the power to charge said EVs from coal-powered plants.
You are comparing China’s future electric grid with Germany’s current one. Germany currently has a much cleaner electricity grid. But I agree that Germany’s anti nuclear policy is stupid.

The difference between Tesla competing as an importer in Europe and competing as a manufacturer in Europe is going to be huge. Maybe the reason VW pulled ahead of Tesla in Europe was not preference but because there were not enough of consumers' first choice on the market yet and they had to settle for second best.
True. And bear in mind that when CNBC talks about EVs, it often includes hybrids, so the picture for pure BEVs is quite different. That plus the fact that as of Feb 2022 YTD, Tesla is ouitselling VW even in its home market of Germany in terms of BEVs, and that's before the Berlin gigafactory starts production.

Nah, that's just Tesla fanboy jealousy. VW knows a thing or two about making cars, that experience is beginning to show. VW made 10.2 million cars last year, Tesla 600k. So.... nah. VW will beat Tesla in Europe though probably never in the US.
They always talk about subsidies like it’s one sided, when the US has been giving oil companies subsidies for over a hundred years! That’s not a joke, it’s really been that long.

It is difficult for the American people to accept the rise of other countries, and I also think that the United States is the strongest country in the world until now. But when it comes to electric vehicles, China puts it first. I got my first electric car 7 years ago. At that time, my hometown, Linyi City, Shandong Province, was covered with fast charging piles. At that time, people didn't know what an electric car was. And my hometown is in northern China, and the economy is not very good. At that time there were already more than 5,000 fast-charging stations across the city. I'm in the American Midwest - Oklahoma, and it's mostly gasoline cars. Oil prices are very expensive now, and for a poor person like me from China, it's hard for me to afford the current oil prices. I hope that electric vehicles in the United States can quickly become popular. This is just my own personal wish, because the future of the United States depends on the American people. As a foreigner, I have no right to say anything to America. I sincerely hope that America will get better and better 🙏
GM stopped production of the Bolt due to the battery issues and the fact that all newly manufactured batteries are being used for replacements on existing vehicles. A disater of GM's own making, that is true, but it makes the comparison less usefull.
No supplier (Tesla among them) is immune to battery problems at one point or another. If I were GM I would be much happier having big battery issues now in the GM EV infancy, than as a mature market builder of EV's like Tesla.
@@duhaneyparkclassics7484 - just because GM has stumbled so far doesn't mean they are relegated to 2nd, 3rd or lower status. They are a big company with some smart engineers as all automakers are. It is just when they can make everything mesh together is when they will be able to get a decent EV to market that will get the attention of the competition, the auto press and the masses. Its not an impossibility.

EVs are expensive in the us because of trump's tarrifs. BYD yuan is an EV the size inside of a RAV 4 with 510 km range. It sells in China for $26k usd. So around 30 k usd in the United States. If it wasn't for the Trump tarrifs. Is that cheap enough for you? They are selling in Panama, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and I think at Cuban resorts. So if you can't get one thank Trump the communist.
The state government here in QLD, Australia, just announced a $3000 incentive for EV's but Tesla's don't qualify because there is a price cap of $58,000, and the cheapest Model 3 starts at $63,900. I doubt Tesla is going to drop the price as they already have a demand problem. I'd be happy to be wrong about that however...
Likely you'll have to wait for battery technology to lower the cost of vehicles. Potentially when the 4680s are being mass-produced, Tesla could offer lower prices. But, it may be that before Tesla lowers their prices, Chinese automakers will start exporting more affordable EVs. I think it will be at least a year or two before any of that really happens at scale.
@@AWildBard The Chinese already dominate the affordable end of the EV market in Australia. The MG ZS EV andthe BYD Atto 3 are the 2 most affordable EV's in Australia at the moment, (both are about $19k cheaper than the Model 3) and even more affordable models are on the way from BYD and also from Ora, the EV brand of Great Wall Motors, later this year. Sure, Tesla aren't going to compete directly with these vehicles until their proposed affordable EV has been launched, but Tesla's real problem if you can even call it a problem, is the insane demand for their cars that allows them to raise prices knowing that it won't cause a drop in sales. Personally, I think that they should drop the price of the cheapest Model 3, but they are going to sell every car that comes off the boat from Shanghai, so why would they?

@@rashawnwaiters you can charge it while you sleep, are too busy for sleeping? Also while buying groceries or while at work, actually it saves more time than going to the gasoline station imo.

In Europe, EV sales definetely will continue to rise in the upcoming years, seeing the gas prices because of the war going on, the enviromental restrictions in big cities, and the EURO 7 emission rule starting from 2025. Seeing the first stats of car sales in Europe for 2022, the diesel will be dead in 2 years. In 2030, at least 70% of new car registrations will be EVs and plug in hybrids in the EU and China easily. Where will the USA be?
Prices for lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and graphite and other materials for batteries are going bonkers altogether and mostly come from the same countries that are driving oil and gas prices high and thats to supply 3m cars a year. When it gets to 70-80 m cars that itself could cause a war.
@@vojtechvoros1549 loads of videos on that too. in 10 years time if we have 30m new EVs we will have dead batteries from 3m scrapped EVs which wont go far. Would take decades to have 50% of the dead batteries required. Plus the battery tech probably will have changed so much that the materials or quality of material in new EVs wont be good enough from the recycled material.

Swapping batteries won't work long term. Why? Batteries are able to charge faster and faster every model or so that is released. Batteries are also getting better. How so? Well, when solid state batteries are widespread, they are faster and safer (less heat generated) than the current battery tech of today.
Rather, they will never work unless batteries are standardized in their form and location. Unless they do that, swapping stations will only be able to service a few specific car models, making the business case non-existent.
@@dinokknd You will never get standardized battery size and locations on ALL cars. If I was a manufacturer I wouldn't be in favor of such a thing. Why? It likely would limit the look of a car. Besides if you did that it could limit its range, and there just might be a better more practical and logical area(s) to put a battery on a car. This is provided there were real advantages you could gain that are big selling points for a car or cars. If it were to be completely standardized a specific spot and size on a car you are taking out 2 big potential sales points from a manufacturer to differentiate their product from others out in the marketplace
@@daviddill5227 the talking head analysts in this cobbled-together video were appropriately dubious, it will probably only be fleets who can negotiate the three-way deal with the vehicle maker and Ample. However, I would love to buy a $25,000 EV with a small battery pack for urban driving, and then rent at substantial expense an add-on battery pack for long drives. Standardizing an add-on pack is slightly more feasible.
@@daviddill5227 To have the battery swap network work well, you would need good coverage of a country with them. What would the business case be if you are only selling a couple of hundred K vehicles and have to literally fund thousands of swapping stations with that?
@@dinokknd - absolutely you would need these battery swapping stations in reasonably close proximity to make it work. It would have to have a good supply of batteries on hand to accomodate the different cars and all the various batteries. It would be difficult to pull off. The storage of batteries along with the charging infrastructure to charge a lot of batteries and swap them out seems like a hell of a lot of work. When they stated it takes about 20 minutes to do a swap, you could charge up the battery at a charging station to 80+ percent in roughly the same time. Even with fast charging, the lifespan of the fast charge battery is hundreds of recharges, so I don't see the value of EV slow charging. Would the battery slow charged last longer? Yes, but considering the inconvenience of going to their facility and swapping it out when I can easily drive to a fast charger and get the same genetal charge it just doesn't make much sense or financial sense considering the overhead slow charging is, and its likely higher cost.
If they don't have proper multimodal transportation infrastructure in your country and you NEED to have a car even when you don't have parking space in your home where to charge it overnight (condo department, etc), that's an issue that your government should work on. That's not a problem originated by EVs. Look at the Netherlands, Denmark and even Finland (even with snow).
I wouldn’t call stripping the earth of rare minerals to create batteries “sustainable” - and there are far fewer supplies of these minerals than Dino fuels. These are Cold facts that no one wants to acknowledge because it blows the eco-friendly argument out of the water. Sad.

Not the full picture. People are fine with driving small cars in China/EU. While in America, everyone wants to drive those hummers, massive SUVs, and pickup trucks. It is hard for EV tech to power those large vehicles that Americans love to buy and flex.

This video missed the fact that VW admits they can’t produce EV cars as fast as Tesla. They take 30 hours compared to Teslas 10 hrs and VW hopes to get this to 20 hours so the notion that they are better set to mass produce is incorrect.

Sure... but what if that is the reason gas prices are high? What if our government set up a situation on purpose.. to make these prices high? What if you are being MANUPULATED into this?? O_o
You do realise that capitalism works on supply and demand. Right now most people are driving gas cars, supply of gas is low yet demand is still high, resulting in sky rocketing costs. As demand for using electricity increases to charge more EV cars in the future, this will just drive up electricity prices. Companies are not stupi, they’ll just jack up the prices.
The language... China is 'dominating'.... China has been 'the most aggressive'... can't you just say that they're doing the right thing for once? You're talking about EVs, not aircraft carriers.
One issue that I am uncertain how customers would address is the state of charge. Would they wait until the battery is depleted to 20% or so… or if they need to charge, but the battery is at 50%, would they replace the battery or just charge it? Personally, i believe that this technology would only work for fleet commercial vans or trucks, not to individual drivers.

The thing about Tesla is they have the infrastructure and attractive vehicles at reachable prices. That’s why even without incentives they have gotten bigger year over year without support. There are now other useful AND attractive EVs but they are still too expensive and lack great infrastructure to be mass-market. Consumers in the U.S are not afraid of EVs, it’s just that we need more options that match the quality and infrastructure of Tesla and it’s charging network.
Teslas are great cars and worth the money, but $46,490 for the cheapest Model 3 is undercut by several EV models. Of course a Hyundai Kona Electric for "only" $34,000 doesn't really help if there are none available and stealerships add a $5,000+ "market adjustment fee" to the sticker. If the lazy people at CNBC were to make a new video instead of repackaging 15-month-old video footage, the biggest subject would be the massive mismatch between demand for all decent EVSs and supply.
@@adamrak7560 Yes I think demand for every Tesla model is insanely high even building ~1.2M cars a year, even with Tesla raising prices. An incredible American success story. I think demand for other good EVs is high, but if the manufacturer is only making 20,000 it's easy for demand to exceed supply.
@@JanBruunAndersen That's not really gonna do much for the millions of non-Tesla's no US roads now. And will most likely slow down the sales of non-Tesla's until all makers have made the transition. The mess was easily avoidable with a little bit of proactive leadership.
Being from India, I'm disappointed with my country. India seems to be a perpetual follower when it comes to high tech. India has been sleeping at the wheel while China was working diligently to achieve EV leadership. I hope Tatas, Mahendras, and Bajajs and other companies in India are noticing.
The thing you seem to forget is that the Tesla could sell a few million more if they could make them right now right now there really is no competition to Tesla the stock market says that Tesla is worth more than Volkswagen Toyota and Honda put together and about half the cars that are sold in China would be called golf carts here
You're entirely wrong about Chinese EVs There are a few really tiny 'micro cars' but these are NOT the norm. Also I really doubt Tesla can sell millions more when their prices is so high. Not everyone is made of money ! Do you even own a car yourself? The valuation of Tesla shares is delusional and means nothing other than how many have swallowed their hype.
Mr Musk, if you don't include a solar home charging station combined with Tesla EV special offer, other manufacturers will do it. China will dominate the EV market by 2025 if you don't wake up. With the access to solar power panels, Tesla batteries and Tesla EV manufacturing, I would have started this offer three years ago through an affordable leasing plan for the low income citizens. China is way ahead of everybody in charging points planning and installation. The EV plus solar home charging station offer will give you the early bird marketing winning edge. Hungwang mini for $4500 won the race for an affordable EV. The Tesla car plus home charging station offer through lease plan will boost your sales faster than your Falcon rockets. Boost or scrub. Is your decision before your worldwide competitors take off. (They seem slow and steady but will win the marketing race) Thanks.

If BEVs are so great in comparative to ICEs, then why so many tax incentives to purchase them? The Automakers able to offer affordable BEVs with fast charging will dominate sells. And the Chinese Automakers are way ahead in that parameter.
simple answer. infrastructure is lacking. So many people dont live in a house with a garage to charge at home. Until EV chargers are a plentiful as gas stations EVs will lag.
Because politicians are allergic to the T word. Fossil fuels should be taxed for the undeniable harms they cause when burned, but that's supposedly politically infeasible so instead politicians offer credits for making better choices.
ICE vehicles also have tax incentives, it's just hidden in the background instead of being put on the customer. Why has Ford taken out at least $33 billion in subsidies in the last 30 years? I say at least because there are many undisclosed tax abatements that could add up to tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.
Not all BEVs are great, in the US the only good option is Tesla. They just happen to be so good, that once you understand how good you never want to touch an ICE car again.
@@teslatrekker9496 I rented a Tesla Model 3 and loved it, but it's not clear that the base LR RWD version is $7,000 better than a Kia Niro Electric. Choice is good.
Makes sense for any country that is not a net oil producer. Instead of paying the Golf countries they can make the juice locally by photovoltaic or by wind and hence the money stay in the economy that generates them. EVs are a game changer on the mobility and energy market with impact as far as political geostrategy - suddenly countries desperate for oil they can divert that cash somewhere else.
Yeah especially here in the Netherlands. Because we have to import all of our oil, the government heavily taxes gasoline in order to reduce consumption. It's the same for large and inefficient vehicles like pickup trucks that are taxed extremely heavily. Most people drive cars with 1-2 Liter engines because of road taxes and fuel prices. It also makes EV's madly popular here, because energy in the form of gasoline is such a large part of the cost of car ownership. So if you drive a lot, an EV becomes the cheaper option rather quickly at 10 dollar per gallon. Plus everything is closer together, and there are chargers everywhere. So the is less range anxiety. I'm putting solar panels on my roof atm to fuel my EV. Screw spending $400 per month on gasoline.
This channel spews out more ignorant misinformation that I can stomach. CNBC is a complete waste of time for getting reliable, accurate, honest information.
There are quite a lot of project/program around this recycling in China. Those batteries need to be properly measured, and can being used on UPS of basestation/datacenter/...
Maybe the media should stop looking at this as a race between China and the West, and instead as the mutual benefit of the world as we transition away from oil dependency?
Tesla needs to improve their service. I have had many frustrating service issues with them since purchasing a Model Y in 2021. In my opinion, Toyota is a much more reliable brand, but has unfortunately been slow to enter the EV market other than with plug ins.
Interesting documentary! Battery swapping is an interesting technology, but charging at home or at work paired with solar seems a much more reliable solution on a nationwide scale. And with a smart charger, you don't really have to worry about battery degradation. 🏡⚡🔌🚘
Battery swapping is a terrible idea. You are limited to how many batteries you can swap in a day. What if you are charging and there are 3 cars in front of you? Then it will be 30 minutes before you have a battery. That’s like waiting at the pump 7 cars deep. Then the worst thing of all. A battery swapping station is going to need 2 X the volume of batteries as cars on the road when manufacturers can’t even make batteries fast enough. You have to double your investment of every battery you make, you need a clone. The last thing for me is, if I just bought a new car and now I need to swap my new battery out for an older one with 50k miles on it. Why would I ever want to do that? This only benefits people with old cars. You will never know the true range of the car because the battery life is different for every battery. What happens when you get a dud? Or the machine strips the bolts holding your batter in your car? Or the machine breaks down? For all of these reasons TESLA abandoned this idea and people didn’t want other peoples batteries in their car especially if you are paying north of $50k on a car.
@@GET2222 agree, but there is also the fact that we're moving toward a service consumers instead of owner. Swapping a battery could be an interesting way to "decrease" the charging time when self driving systems are 100% reliable. I can see it being implemented by Uber if they ever achieve a reliable self-driving system. But who knows probably by the time we get a self driving system we also get a better charging/battery system capable of self charging within 5 minutes.
@@GET2222 the battery swapping system seems adapted to a business operating multiple identical vehicles, like taxis or delivery. Our mission is focused on smart and fast home charging paired with solar. We really believe that users should have more control over how they want to charge their vehicles. 🏡⚡🔌🚘
@@GET2222 I wouldnt call it a terrible idea at all. I would call it an unnecesarry idea currently. What exactly do you mean by "What if you are charging and there are 3 cars in from of you?" well thats one of the problems that battery swap would fix... It would only take a few minutes. And you dont need 2x batteries for each car. Not at all. Unless every driver would have to switch batteries before the empty battery is charged again. And that doesnt happen. Its much faster to charge. My guess would be like 1.2 batteries for each car. I dont really understand your argument with older batteries? Even 50K mile batteries have almost perfect battery life. And those things could be checked at the battery swap station pretty easily. Not a big problem at all. If you are really unlucky, then you simply switch the battery again? It works perfectly fine
@@GET2222 NIO already has a battery swap system that works very well. I can see the problems if you switch batteries at battery stations from other companies. That might cause problems, but generally its very possible to make a good battery swap system. Tesla abandoned the idea because of lack of interest, not because they didnt believe in the potential. It will be a thing in the future for sure, especially to make all the people who wont buy EVs because of the charging times buy EVs.

Decent, but they're missing out on the biggest story, the story of BYD'S mastery of vertical integration. The fact that they are making their own chips, battery cells (that don't use cobalt or nickel), and already selling EVs at purchasing price parity with gasoline vehicles is the big story. The guy that said Chinese EVs do not have the quality of Western products has no idea what he's talking about. Not only do they have the quality, but most Chinese EVs have much better specs, like 800v structural packs, heat pumps, v2L abilities, etc. Legacy automakers are in big trouble.
Agreed, the comment disparaging the quality of Chinese EVs was completely wrong. Herbert Diess of VW could put CNBC right on that. He has said recently that VWs global competition is not other legacy car makers but Tesla and the Chinese.
All good points. The only issue with China is that nobody outside of China wants to buy their cars... because they're Chinese 🤷♂🤷♂ China will snag market share in a few countries, but not in US/Europe which "big auto" cares the most about.
Imagine using Tesla as an example of quality, with a straight face no less!
@@sooocheesy I am from the EU and plan to buy EV from Xiaopeng or NIO.
Unlike Oil. There is not enough lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) on the planet to power all the cars in the world.

GM will NEVER be fully electric by 2035... mark my words.
no duh! they will probably be bankrupt by 2035 and next time that's on them no bail outs for losers.
Never say never, as gas prices keep rising people will switch and demand them.
GM will be fully electric by 2035 or it won't exist.
GM won't even exist 🤣 or will be bailed out..
What most people don't realize, is that GM is basically no longer GM. Shortly after the US government bailed them out, SAIC bought 51% of GM. GM has since bought 1% back to share control, but the reality is that GM's electric division is now, and forever will be, a Chinese based and run company.... The US taxpayer bailed GM out, and the big wigs sold it to China shortly thereafter.... Keep that in mind when you buy your next car....
We like tesla cuz of the fun driving experience, pricing, no haggle no hassle experience purchase and using it.
4:44 I need to point out, Chinese authority never set the rule to charge more for purchasing traditional car, the price has always been like that whether it’s high or low. The authority has significantly reduced the price on electronic cars by cutting sales-tax or financial support for car companies, and almost no charge on getting a green plate which allows you to drive int city with no restriction during rush hour. The regular plate which is the blue plate, the number of blue plates being issued each year is limited, so it is expensive to acquire.

As for battery swapping, there has to be a way to prevent scams. You buy a new car with a new battery. The first time you pull in to swap battery, the independent battery swap business gives you back an older used battery. The business then sells that new battery and buys 2 or 3 older batteries. Rinse and repeat. Never underestimate the U.S. business mindset to scam for easy money.
does it matter how old a battery is if it gives you full power in a swap? i don't think so.
To consider battery swapping as an option is the first problem. The infrastructure cost for battery swap stations across the whole country is simply not realistic, and when batteries last 300 miles a charge, there's no need for swapping stations wtihin the city for daily commute. Any owner would rather plug in their car, charge for cheap rather than taking valuable time each week to drive all the way to a swap station, line up, and pay extra for the same amount of energy.
Why it is matter?, The car shows the mileage it capable, it won't below the manufacturer standard or else they'll replace it
@@lanzer22 Swapping could be interesting for those who doesn't have a home garage or live far from chargers.
Yes. Either battery swapping is for additional packs for longer journeys in addition to the small pack that comes with your car, or you buy a battery-less EV and arrange a separate contract for electric miles. Either way the battery swap supplier has to charge a lot of money to pay for all its battery packs and swap stations. And if you drive around for months plugging in elsewhere to recharge the swap company's battery packs in your vehicle, how does the swap company get paid? Better Place had to forbid its users from plugging in elsewhere.
It's changed much since, BYD has surpassed Tesla to become the top EV manufacturer in the world now and Tesla is using batteries from CATL and BYD.
BYD sales only exceed Tesla when both BEVs and plug-in hybrid sales are added together. BYD is now second to Tesla in world wide sales of BEVs having overtaken Volkswagen this year.
Forget about battery swapping . Charge at home when not in use. Range anxiety is a non issue among EV owners. Tesla is the leader among manufacturers. China is the leader among countries.
Frankly, I think that’s a blanket statement there. Range anxiety is a non issue only when you’re talking about short distance commutes, which is clearly NOT battery swapping techs are targeting.
@@doniel2008 well here in the us superchargers are everywhere and it takes 15 mins to get 200 miles. i dont see how battery swapping is helping
@doniel2008 I've traveled from Canada to Florida with no range anxiety.
@@doniel2008 150+ miles in each direction is more than enough for the average driver. The average driver travels less than 30 miles from home even when they drive 100 miles a day.
Range anxiety and charging is a real issue to city populations that live in apartments without parking lots. You buy transportation to suit your lifestyle, not the other way around.
Lots of misinformation here. One glaring piece of misinformation was a statement about how much experience Volkswagen has building cars, when in fact they have little experience building electric cars. Their own CEO said Tesla is building them 3 times faster than they are and Tesla has their own battery factory and technology. Poor research or paid misinformation??
15 month old videos slapped together to make it seem like a new video. Lame CNBC.

Diess also recently said that if it wasn't for their new Wolfsberg plant, they wouldn't be able to compete with Tesla and that plant won't be operational for at least another 2 years...ramped in 2 more. Meanwhile Tesla will be starting their ramps at those 2 new factories NOW and Shanghai is already the largest auto plant in the world with run rates of close to 1M today.
To win a race you have to have a finishing line. There is no such limit here. Some makes will become dominant, but fashion and world events set new goals. All markets go through growth, settlement and decline. No doubt someone in the future will declare types of battery are not green, blue or whatever. New companies will evolve to renew existing batteries.
Why should the U.S. care what a Communist country is forcing its citizens to do, in the first place?

VW better at ramping than Tesla? Unmentioned is the pace at which the two companies can push their vehicles out the door. VW's Herbert Diess noted that it takes VW three times as long to make an ID series car as it takes Tesla to make a Model Y at its Chinese factory. Yet at the Berlin factory, the Model Y will take even less time thanks to major cast-molding of its frame.

The Chinese basically owned all the IPs needed to dominate the EV world market. For the best EV technology, we even have to buy from them until we caught up. Thank God our government's political and economic might kept Chinese EVs out of US, Canada, and several European markets.
You don't seem to understand how superior Tesla's charging network is. 1) Higher average number of stalls per location, so you're more likely to find one that's available. 2) Higher average power output per stall, for faster charging. 3) Better software; you just plug in and walk away, without swiping a card or punching in a PIN. The App tells you when it's done. 4) Much more reliable; by comparison, Electrify America stations are infamous for being out of service when you get there. 5) Better locations, next to nice shopping and food areas. And 6) Way more locations world wide.
This video ignores everything going in Tesla's favor. They also assume Tesla is just going to lay down while the others try to expand. Tesla growth is still outpacing the competition and they are still accelerating.

I don’t consider plug in hybrid vehicles as in the same category as battery electric vehicles. Their batteries are too miniscule in terms of kWh capacity.

That situation is only really true in the USA where the EV market is poorly developed and Tesla is in prime place.
In both Europe and China, the situation is VERY different. In Europe Tesla currently holds a 7% market share of all *electric cars* sold and ~2% of the total car market. It's actually in 10th place with minor players such as Nissan ahead of it i the sales league table. VW Group has the lion's share with 5 brands and ~8-9 different models followed by Stellantis with EVs from Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel, Vauxhall and Fiat. The opening of Tesla's factory in Berlin will doubtless add to the sales numbers but it has a serious way to go with it's expensive luxury models only that are beyond the budgets of most.Renault has an electric vehicle available at 1/4 the cost of a Tesla ! I see Tesla's weakness as NOT having a truly affordably priced model, nor does it offer any commercial vehicles in a market with around 10 electric vans. I see the commercial vehicles sector being HIGHLY important.
In China Tesla has very strong competition too from the likes of home manufacturers BYD, Nio, Xpeng, SAIC and almost too many others to list. Again, it is not in any number one position.

How do you "easily upgrade the batteries"?
But having 13 times the number of packs in swap stations.
Having to swap them out using trucks when a new version comes out.
Having to "chase" the old packs which are still in cars then being returned to swap stations, a d remove them BEFORE the next car in line needs that pack.
Having to (probably) upgrade the firmware and/ or the BMS to optimise the new pack type (so wait before driving?)
It's a logistical nightmare.

My goodness. Despite CNBC releasing this video just two days ago, most of the information in the narrative is super old and by definition is wrong. This coming Tuesday, Giga-Berlin fires up, and a few weeks later, Giga-Austin will as well. Each of these plants, once fully ramped will become the world's largest auto plants in the world. Tesla is making huge margins on vehicles today - and they continue to improve - and now is regularly increasing their vehicle selling prices just to prevent the wait-times for their customers from becoming too long.
Let me be blunt. Tesla is the only mass EV maker today that is turning a profit on EVs. Period.
Another important point. Having greater numbers of different EV models to sell is NOT a recipe for success in this new market. It will only take away from achieving scale which in turn will increase costs.
Tesla is running away from the packs even faster now. With only some minor exceptions, all of the legacy automakers started far too late getting 'serious' about EVs. Many of them right now do not have a strong enough balance sheet to survive one more recession.

@@HELLO7657 More products are often good, but it can be bad if companies offer too many products that don't functionally differ from one another. This has happened before and it virtually destroyed a company in the computer industry.
Back in the early 2010s, the SSD was becoming a hit. It was lighter, smaller, more efficient and faster. One company, OCZ, jumped into the market in 2010 when SSDs were expensive and the technology wasn't stable. They poured everything into their SSDs - so much so that their existing DDRAM business started failing. The fledgling SSD market quickly became over-saturated with OCZ products. There was the Onyx, the Agility, the RevoDrive, the Vertex and the Octane, but they were all pretty much the same. They offered different ports or form factors, but they never actually changed the variables that customers wanted - price and speed. Eventually OCZ SSDs began failing just like their DDRAM and they were sold to Toshiba where it died after a scandal with the SEC about inflating revenues.
EVs are a lot like SSDs. People are craving longer range and lower prices. That's it. Crack that secret sauce and you will have more sales. With EVs, offering a different form factor might sell better than SSDs did, but there is a risk of oversaturating the market with vehicles offering the same range and power thinking it will gain them more customers. This is not necessarily true. You need to provide what customers demand.

The difference between Tesla competing as an importer in Europe and competing as a manufacturer in Europe is going to be huge.

It is difficult for the American people to accept the rise of other countries, and I also think that the United States is the strongest country in the world until now. But when it comes to electric vehicles, China puts it first. I got my first electric car 7 years ago. At that time, my hometown, Linyi City, Shandong Province, was covered with fast charging piles. At that time, people didn't know what an electric car was. And my hometown is in northern China, and the economy is not very good. At that time there were already more than 5,000 fast-charging stations across the city. I'm in the American Midwest - Oklahoma, and it's mostly gasoline cars. Oil prices are very expensive now, and for a poor person like me from China, it's hard for me to afford the current oil prices. I hope that electric vehicles in the United States can quickly become popular. This is just my own personal wish, because the future of the United States depends on the American people. As a foreigner, I have no right to say anything to America. I sincerely hope that America will get better and better 🙏

No supplier (Tesla among them) is immune to battery problems at one point or another. If I were GM I would be much happier having big battery issues now in the GM EV infancy, than as a mature market builder of EV's like Tesla.

It is just when they can make everything mesh together is when they will be able to get a decent EV to market that will get the attention of the competition, the auto press and the masses. Its not an impossibility.

But yaa there are way better self driving tech out there, but Tesla tracks all the driving data from their customers so self driving is a part of it..
Also everything Musk does is to help him get settled in Mars... Star link satellite system is for communication purposes in Mars and generate extra money to help fund the spacex.. Boring company is to mine on Mars. Those are publicly stated one, and Tesla is not said to be for Mars related stuff, but thinking about it even a little makes it obvious how it will be helpful in mars.. Not just that there is also the OpenAI... Which is for all intent and purpose not that open..
Imo: gm started this back in the late 90s and dropped the ball. Then Tesla (once Elon bought them) came through and picked it up. They invest sooo much into this field that they themselves made it a profitable business (with carbon tax credits currently). Imo Tesla is leaps ahead of other manufacturers when it comes to the tech of the car. Fit and finish...eh they could do a tad bit better. Others are catching up to the 2018/2019 Tesla but now Tesla is advancing with diecast fabrication and advanced tech for auto pilot and efficiency of battery kwh/mile. Can't wait for them to get into other industries.

The state government here in QLD, Australia, just announced a $3000 incentive for EV's but Tesla's don't qualify because there is a price cap of $58,000, and the cheapest Model 3 starts at $63,900. I doubt Tesla is going to drop the price as they already have a demand problem. I'd be happy to be wrong about that however...
Likely you'll have to wait for battery technology to lower the cost of vehicles. Potentially when the 4680s are being mass-produced, Tesla could offer lower prices.
But, it may be that before Tesla lowers their prices, Chinese automakers will start exporting more affordable EVs.
I think it will be at least a year or two before any of that really happens at scale.
@@AWildBard The Chinese already dominate the affordable end of the EV market in Australia. The MG ZS EV andthe BYD Atto 3 are the 2 most affordable EV's in Australia at the moment, (both are about $19k cheaper than the Model 3) and even more affordable models are on the way from BYD and also from Ora, the EV brand of Great Wall Motors, later this year. Sure, Tesla aren't going to compete directly with these vehicles until their proposed affordable EV has been launched, but Tesla's real problem if you can even call it a problem, is the insane demand for their cars that allows them to raise prices knowing that it won't cause a drop in sales. Personally, I think that they should drop the price of the cheapest Model 3, but they are going to sell every car that comes off the boat from Shanghai, so why would they?

In Europe, EV sales definetely will continue to rise in the upcoming years, seeing the gas prices because of the war going on, the enviromental restrictions in big cities, and the EURO 7 emission rule starting from 2025.

Where will the USA be?
Prices for lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and graphite and other materials for batteries are going bonkers altogether and mostly come from the same countries that are driving oil and gas prices high and thats to supply 3m cars a year. When it gets to 70-80 m cars that itself could cause a war.

Swapping batteries won't work long term. Why? Batteries are able to charge faster and faster every model or so that is released. Batteries are also getting better. How so? Well, when solid state batteries are widespread, they are faster and safer (less heat generated) than the current battery tech of today.
Rather, they will never work unless batteries are standardized in their form and location. Unless they do that, swapping stations will only be able to service a few specific car models, making the business case non-existent.
@@dinokknd You will never get standardized battery size and locations on ALL cars. If I was a manufacturer I wouldn't be in favor of such a thing. Why? It likely would limit the look of a car. Besides if you did that it could limit its range, and there just might be a better more practical and logical area(s) to put a battery on a car. This is provided there were real advantages you could gain that are big selling points for a car or cars.
If it were to be completely standardized a specific spot and size on a car you are taking out 2 big potential sales points from a manufacturer to differentiate their product from others out in the marketplace
@@daviddill5227 the talking head analysts in this cobbled-together video were appropriately dubious, it will probably only be fleets who can negotiate the three-way deal with the vehicle maker and Ample. However, I would love to buy a $25,000 EV with a small battery pack for urban driving, and then rent at substantial expense an add-on battery pack for long drives. Standardizing an add-on pack is slightly more feasible.
@@daviddill5227 To have the battery swap network work well, you would need good coverage of a country with them. What would the business case be if you are only selling a couple of hundred K vehicles and have to literally fund thousands of swapping stations with that?
@@dinokknd - absolutely you would need these battery swapping stations in reasonably close proximity to make it work. It would have to have a good supply of batteries on hand to accomodate the different cars and all the various batteries. It would be difficult to pull off. The storage of batteries along with the charging infrastructure to charge a lot of batteries and swap them out seems like a hell of a lot of work. When they stated it takes about 20 minutes to do a swap, you could charge up the battery at a charging station to 80+ percent in roughly the same time. Even with fast charging, the lifespan of the fast charge battery is hundreds of recharges, so I don't see the value of EV slow charging. Would the battery slow charged last longer? Yes, but considering the inconvenience of going to their facility and swapping it out when I can easily drive to a fast charger and get the same genetal charge it just doesn't make much sense or financial sense considering the overhead slow charging is, and its likely higher cost.
Battery swapping vs. fast charging . The one thing that comes to mind, is long line, peak-hour, re-fueling pile-up . ( In my country, that is )n.
France ran out of gas bc of Putin so hey Id be glad to wait.
If they don't have proper multimodal transportation infrastructure in your country and you NEED to have a car even when you don't have parking space in your home where to charge it overnight (condo department, etc), that's an issue that your government should work on.

The thing about Tesla is they have the infrastructure and attractive vehicles at reachable prices. That’s why even without incentives they have gotten bigger year over year without support. There are now other useful AND attractive EVs but they are still too expensive and lack great infrastructure to be mass-market. Consumers in the U.S are not afraid of EVs, it’s just that we need more options that match the quality and infrastructure of Tesla and it’s charging network.
Teslas are great cars and worth the money, but $46,490 for the cheapest Model 3 is undercut by several EV models. Of course a Hyundai Kona Electric for "only" $34,000 doesn't really help if there are none available and stealerships add a $5,000+ "market adjustment fee" to the sticker. If the lazy people at CNBC were to make a new video instead of repackaging 15-month-old video footage, the biggest subject would be the massive mismatch between demand for all decent EVSs and supply.

Being from India, I'm disappointed with my country. India seems to be a perpetual follower when it comes to high tech. India has been sleeping at the wheel while China was working diligently to achieve EV leadership. I hope Tatas, Mahendras, and Bajajs and other companies in India are noticing.
gov't scares people to do business in India, you kicked out the Chinese phone companies the whole world is watching...
The thing you seem to forget is that the Tesla could sell a few million more if they could make them right now right now there really is no competition to Tesla the stock market says that Tesla is worth more than Volkswagen Toyota and Honda put together and about half the cars that are sold in China would be called golf carts here
You're entirely wrong about Chinese EVs There are a few really tiny 'micro cars' but these are NOT the norm. Also I really doubt Tesla can sell millions more when their prices is so high. Not everyone is made of money ! Do you even own a car yourself?
The valuation of Tesla shares is delusional and means nothing other than how many have swallowed their hype.
Tesla stock lost tensof billions in one month.
@grahamstevenson1740 😂this comment aged well
A couple months later, BYD is dominating the Chinese car market now
Mr Musk, if you don't include a solar home charging station combined with Tesla EV special offer, other manufacturers will do it. China will dominate the EV market by 2025 if you don't wake up. With the access to solar power panels, Tesla batteries and Tesla EV manufacturing, I would have started this offer three years ago through an affordable leasing plan for the low income citizens. China is way ahead of everybody in charging points planning and installation. The EV plus solar home charging station offer will give you the early bird marketing winning edge. Hungwang mini for $4500 won the race for an affordable EV. The Tesla car plus home charging station offer through lease plan will boost your sales faster than your Falcon rockets. Boost or scrub. Is your decision before your worldwide competitors take off. (They seem slow and steady but will win the marketing race) Thanks.
China a leader in battery production
Leader in electronic production
Semiconductor production
Plastic and toy production
Software comoanies and giant tach companies are getting in par with silicon valley.

Did you notice that electric car salesman seem to target women more than men ? .. I wonder why that is ?
PROBABLY....WHO IS FIRST....IN GENERAL THAT ONE WILL BE LEADER
If BEVs are so great in comparative to ICEs, then why so many tax incentives to purchase them? The Automakers able to offer affordable BEVs with fast charging will dominate sells. And the Chinese Automakers are way ahead in that parameter.
simple answer. infrastructure is lacking. So many people dont live in a house with a garage to charge at home. Until EV chargers are a plentiful as gas stations EVs will lag.
Because politicians are allergic to the T word. Fossil fuels should be taxed for the undeniable harms they cause when burned, but that's supposedly politically infeasible so instead politicians offer credits for making better choices.
ICE vehicles also have tax incentives, it's just hidden in the background instead of being put on the customer. Why has Ford taken out at least $33 billion in subsidies in the last 30 years? I say at least because there are many undisclosed tax abatements that could add up to tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.
Not all BEVs are great, in the US the only good option is Tesla. They just happen to be so good, that once you understand how good you never want to touch an ICE car again.
@@teslatrekker9496 I rented a Tesla Model 3 and loved it, but it's not clear that the base LR RWD version is $7,000 better than a Kia Niro Electric. Choice is good.
Makes sense for any country that is not a net oil producer. Instead of paying the Golf countries they can make the juice locally by photovoltaic or by wind and hence the money stay in the economy that generates them. EVs are a game changer on the mobility and energy market with impact as far as political geostrategy - suddenly countries desperate for oil they can divert that cash somewhere else.
Yeah especially here in the Netherlands. Because we have to import all of our oil, the government heavily taxes gasoline in order to reduce consumption. It's the same for large and inefficient vehicles like pickup trucks that are taxed extremely heavily. Most people drive cars with 1-2 Liter engines because of road taxes and fuel prices.
It also makes EV's madly popular here, because energy in the form of gasoline is such a large part of the cost of car ownership. So if you drive a lot, an EV becomes the cheaper option rather quickly at 10 dollar per gallon. Plus everything is closer together, and there are chargers everywhere. So the is less range anxiety.
I'm putting solar panels on my roof atm to fuel my EV. Screw spending $400 per month on gasoline.
This channel spews out more ignorant misinformation that I can stomach.
CNBC is a complete waste of time for getting reliable, accurate, honest information.
Do we have enough ressource for all those batteries? Will we recycle them properly?
Most batteries are being recycled now with many new startups for recycling old batteries so it should be at %100 soon.
There are quite a lot of project/program around this recycling in China. Those batteries need to be properly measured, and can being used on UPS of basestation/datacenter/...
Maybe the media should stop looking at this as a race between China and the West, and instead as the mutual benefit of the world as we transition away from oil dependency?
Nothing motivates like fear/hate
Think of it this way, if they view it as a competition they'll be more motivated to make better EVs
As China builds one coal plant a week. Responsible for 50% of all emissions. Selling us a bill of goods.
Underestimate Chinese CCP’s evil ways at your own peril.
From Oil dependability to Coal dependability.
Tesla needs to improve their service. I have had many frustrating service issues with them since purchasing a Model Y in 2021. In my opinion, Toyota is a much more reliable brand, but has unfortunately been slow to enter the EV market other than with plug ins.
Interesting documentary!
Battery swapping is an interesting technology, but charging at home or at work paired with solar seems a much more reliable solution on a nationwide scale.
And with a smart charger, you don't really have to worry about battery degradation. 🏡⚡🔌🚘
Battery swapping is a terrible idea. You are limited to how many batteries you can swap in a day. What if you are charging and there are 3 cars in front of you? Then it will be 30 minutes before you have a battery. That’s like waiting at the pump 7 cars deep.
Then the worst thing of all. A battery swapping station is going to need 2 X the volume of batteries as cars on the road when manufacturers can’t even make batteries fast enough. You have to double your investment of every battery you make, you need a clone.
The last thing for me is, if I just bought a new car and now I need to swap my new battery out for an older one with 50k miles on it. Why would I ever want to do that? This only benefits people with old cars. You will never know the true range of the car because the battery life is different for every battery. What happens when you get a dud? Or the machine strips the bolts holding your batter in your car? Or the machine breaks down?
For all of these reasons TESLA abandoned this idea and people didn’t want other peoples batteries in their car especially if you are paying north of $50k on a car.
@@GET2222 agree, but there is also the fact that we're moving toward a service consumers instead of owner. Swapping a battery could be an interesting way to "decrease" the charging time when self driving systems are 100% reliable. I can see it being implemented by Uber if they ever achieve a reliable self-driving system. But who knows probably by the time we get a self driving system we also get a better charging/battery system capable of self charging within 5 minutes.
@@GET2222 the battery swapping system seems adapted to a business operating multiple identical vehicles, like taxis or delivery.
Our mission is focused on smart and fast home charging paired with solar. We really believe that users should have more control over how they want to charge their vehicles. 🏡⚡🔌🚘
@@GET2222 I wouldnt call it a terrible idea at all. I would call it an unnecesarry idea currently. What exactly do you mean by "What if you are charging and there are 3 cars in from of you?" well thats one of the problems that battery swap would fix... It would only take a few minutes.
And you dont need 2x batteries for each car. Not at all. Unless every driver would have to switch batteries before the empty battery is charged again. And that doesnt happen. Its much faster to charge. My guess would be like 1.2 batteries for each car.
I dont really understand your argument with older batteries? Even 50K mile batteries have almost perfect battery life. And those things could be checked at the battery swap station pretty easily. Not a big problem at all. If you are really unlucky, then you simply switch the battery again? It works perfectly fine
@@GET2222 NIO already has a battery swap system that works very well. I can see the problems if you switch batteries at battery stations from other companies. That might cause problems, but generally its very possible to make a good battery swap system. Tesla abandoned the idea because of lack of interest, not because they didnt believe in the potential. It will be a thing in the future for sure, especially to make all the people who wont buy EVs because of the charging times buy EVs.
