When are you going to stop abusing humans with nonsense like this? The world is going to Hades in a tri-axle dump truck and you can only post nonsense? Please stop abusing others with nonsense posts on this and other web forums.

Washington State Adopts California's Zero-Emission Vehicle Mandate
Just trying to stay alive has slowed vehicle sales world wide.
The one thing we now know COVID-19 deaths at a glance seem to be worse in high smog areas so at some point the push from fossil fuels will become a hot topic at some point. With the COVID-19 stress in Washington state I would not have expected mandates for EV's to be on the docket but it seems the Governor is going to sign the ZEV mandate into law.

Elon Musk says Tesla's New York factory is making ventilators 'as soon as humanly possible' - Roadshow
With EV's on hold for now Musk is staying busy it seems. They are going for a more basic model with fewer parts and short to electronics to get to production faster. Initially he said it would take 8-10 weeks to ramp up but that was before any concrete plans.
Different story but I saw where ****** has sourced ventilators that are to be delivered mid May. I am starting to think the 6-18 month time window may prove to be more right than not on how long we are going to be dealing with this virus.
EV and all car sales are in the tank. One guy was telling his doctor his retirement account was down by $78K and the doctor said is that all mine is down $192K. Getting that Tesla on retirement plan may be shifting for more than a few.
Since smog seems to lead to more COVID-19 deaths I am sure EV's will be in demand in Europe and China which was the case before this flu.

Trump Rollback of Mileage Standards Guts Climate Change Push
The Trump administration's rollback of Obama-era mileage standards marks a win for Americans who like their SUVs and pickup trucks.

With gas around $1.50 around here and few working the EV's are not front page news or back page news. This can help the old line players pay catch up. It seems like they are willing to put most anyone in a lease on 2019 and 2020 because car sales are beyond dead.
The stock market ate a lot of Tesla's buyers in waiting. The RWD Model Y was not going to be made for a while yet so the higher margin dual motor versions could get pumped out. Musk has sent word to get ready to receive your 2WD version sooner than later. It was good he had a waiting list for the lowest end Model Y and some will not cancel.
The bottom line is the world is in a world of hurt so it is going to take sometime to get people back to work after potential death is not starting most in the face this week or the next.
While I am thankful we now have the 2020 40 kWh 33% larger battery in our 2016 Nissan Leaf that we bought last Oct and it is the car we use 99% of the time for getting to work. The 150 range is nice especially we were down to a range of about 60 miles of range on the old dying 30 kWh battery. We should be good for another 4 years barring any major wreck and not getting taken down by COVID-19 that is edging closer and closer each day as in 10-15 miles from our home/work.
Tesla and VW seem to be serious but I expect most EV's will be coming out of China, Korea and that part of the world in the future.

It only has one gear speed, so you technically DO manually select the gear you want: forward, reverse, or neutral. No clutch though.

She'd end up slamming on the brake going for the clutch. She did this once when my father had her drive his automatic car.

GH so your response to a logical and factual question is an emotional outburst instead of data ?
