Hope their car batteries are better.

At least the Live Wire won't leak oil.

The article is about advancements in electric motors, solar panels is not really their business, they bought up a company that was installing them that's what is on Walmart's roofs, it's not a focus of Teslas at this time.
The cars are doing great, If you would have bought stock back in April at $190.00 it's at $321.00 today

NOT BAD

Looks like Tesla isn't the fastest anymore and unlike the Tesla can do 1/4 mile runs without a 20-30min. cool down.

Well I read the posts in this thread..............still going with my original answer on this crap.
-My truck will stay lifted high enough to run over these tree huggers while they're searching town for a charging cord, and
-my two strokes will stay at a 24:1 mix just to annoy the manatee huggers.
Damn hippies always huggin s**t but never getting a job!

By the way you can buy TWO Tesla's for the price of one Taycan Porsche.

At the bottom of the list was Jeep's corporate cousin, the Maserati Quattroporte luxury sports sedan, which lost 72.2 percent of its value. That was just slightly worse than the BMW 7-Series (71.3), electric Nissan Leaf (71.0), BMW i3 plug-in hybrid/electric (70.9) and BMW 5 Series (69.2). The Acura RLX, Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid, BMW 6 Series, Jaguar XJL and Chevrolet Volt rounded out the bottom 10 on the overall list.

Seems like a lot of electric/hybrids in the "worst depreciation" list.
