What? Yes, they do. I was just on their site a few minutes ago.

It isn't like GM's EV rollout has been any smoother, Bolt and Hummer issues. Oh i completely agree with you here. I'm just saying that Tesla has still been crushing it. Without a doubt, I believe their sales will stumble once there are 30-50 other EV options available. But, right now, they clearly are the winners with their infrastructure. Every single review I've watched of non-Teslas complain about the charging network and how piss-poor the systems are compared to the simplicity of Tesla's.

I see your looking at vehicles which I did not look at, I looked at new inventory which only shows the Mercedes-EQ option and under it EQS, so for inventory it is off from the Vehicles. Thanks,

This article spells out why normal CEOs watch what they say. . . . and why Elon may end up ruining Tesla.

I know Ford hasn't been known for their problem-less rollouts recently but I don't recall hearing Mach-e's and Lightnings bricking themselves nor having non-functional systems within the vehicle. There's a price to pay to being the first and there's a price to pay for a company not completing the vehicle. The above issues with the Hummer shouldn't happen, period. I don't think people spending 100-150k on a vehicle should be considered test dummies, just because they're early adaptors.

There are a lot of EQB's within 100 miles of me but I see zero EQS SUV's within all of Autotrader's reach. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=656795677&allListingType=all-cars&makeCodeList=MB&city=Highland&state=IL&zip=62249&location=&requestId=2281868035&searchRadius=50&seriesCodeList=EQB_CLASS%2CEQS_CLASS&marketExtension=include&isNewSearch=false&showAccelerateBanner=false&sortBy=relevance&numRecords=25&dma=&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fall-cars%2Fmercedes-benz%2Fhighland-il-62249%3FrequestId%3D2281868035%26dma%3D%26searchRadius%3D50%26seriesCodeList%3DEQB_CLASS%2CEQS_CLASS%26location%3D%26marketExtension%3Dinclude%26isNewSearch%3Dfalse%26showAccelerateBanner%3Dfalse%26sortBy%3Drelevance%26numRecords%3D25&clickType=listing This is the closest MB dealer to me.

And yet many more love them. Their sales really are impressive for a four vehicle lineup.

So again you do not look at the big picture. The Kia and Hyundai only just this year started production and sales. The EV credit being up in the air for those not produced here, sales are solid. Tesla is not all that and I have posted about this before as Musk is an Idiot in thinking he can speak the trash out of his mouth and not affect the company. Many are turned off from Tesla. On top of this is Tesla always being 3 to 5 years late in actually delivering product and this year the company even said they have no interest in producing a cheaper model at this time. Then add in that NO ONE has brought on massive battery capacity yet and are just starting production. VW also only started local production this year to make more ID EVs. You have a perfect Chicken and Egg issue here where companies are working to bring online both production of EVs and Battery capacity. Once all gets up to speed and any component shortages which even Tesla has been affected by are ironed out and then we will see true competition. Wait and see before you speak the same trash that Tesla is it and Musk is god crap. Your FAILED Mercedes has NOT Delivered on The Best or Nothing in the EV industry. Currently Next to NOTHING! No the EQS is not a Volume production auto for the masses, EQE only last month started production here in the U.S. and is not even to dealerships yet. EQB is not even here and struggling to get going in Europe and Asia. What is the Excuse for Mercedes Failure?

Interesting read and I have to agree with much of what is stated. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-antics-turn-owners-080036228.html

Tesla has sold 300,000 Model 3/Y so far on 2022 in the USA. EV6 and Ioniq5 combined for 36,000. I wouldn’t say Hyundai/Kia are doing well when getting outsold 9 to 1 and Hyundai just lost the tax credit and Tesla is about to get it back.

What I am wondering is if any of the mainstream brands can top Tesla, or if Tesla will eventually bring out some cheaper models and just put several legacy car companies out of business. So far in 2022 the Model Y and Model 3 each outsell any product from Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda or Subaru. The Model Y is outselling the Explorer and Wrangler and is on pace with the Equinox. And the Model Y is like a $60,000 car. We've seen how pitiful the sales volumes are on stuff like the iD4, the EV6 and Ionic 5 are pretty low and slowing in sales already, Nissan Ariya is a bust waiting to happen. So how do those companies survive when they are EV only? They are going to need cars like the Ionic 5 selling 200,000 units a year, and they are struggling to hit 25k units a year.
