I do not think the I-Pace is going to hurt the Model 3 per se, but just yesterday on the I-Pace forum 2 people mentioned canceling Model 3 and going for I-Pace.
The cancellation rate for Model 3 reservations is reported at 24%, about the same as the old rate for pre-orders of the Model S a few years back. The only thing that's surprising here is that the two rates are so very close; I was expecting the new rate to be somewhat higher or lower.
Of course, it's entirely expected that a serial Tesla basher like you would keep trying to spin that as being "bad", no matter how unsurprising it is.
4500 in Europe in 2018... sounds about right... Remember the article you posted was written last year, so referencing next year is 2018... speaking of spin!!
I posted what I found by Googling. It wasn't cherry-picked in any way. Yeah, there is a lot of attempted spin here... by you.
Causing Division in the BEV community? coming from a guy who does not own a BEV...
And you apparently are quite upset over the fact that I know a
lot more about the EV industry in general, and Tesla specifically, than you do, despite the fact that I no longer own any car. I have a genuine long-term interest in electric cars -- the subject of this forum -- while nearly all your posts here are merely efforts to bash Tesla and manipulate its stock price.
I was shocked that you didn't even recognize the names CODA, Th!nk, Aptera, or Better Place. CODA, Aptera, and (Project) Better Place have all been very heavily discussed in EV-related forums in previous years. Th!nk was, I admit, somewhat more obscure, since it was based in Norway, but it started out as a Ford project before it was sold off, and some (maybe 100-200) Th!nk City cars were sold here in the USA.
Sadly, some people apparently feel very threatened by the fact that someone can learn more by reading than they do from life experience. You have to feel sorry for people who suffer from such a huge inferiority complex, and I suppose it's no surprise when some of them also exhibit such extreme jealousy of Elon Musk, apparently out of the same feelings of inadequacy.
You are right, there is no zero sum game, except in you constantly attacking people who post in the forum...
The level of absolute bull pucky in your posts is so high... are your eyes brown?
I once listed all the threads you have created here for no purpose other than to attack Tesla, but the entire thread in which I posted that list got deleted, presumably by a moderator who got tired of all the utterly false FUD that you were throwing at Tesla there, as well as your repeated personal attacks on several people.
But let's count your Tesla bashing threads which have
not been deleted, and we'll see just who is constantly attacking:
1. Model S fatal accident/fire
2. Tesla driver did not want to wait in line for coffee?
3. Very Interesting Panasonic news filtering its way across the Pacific Ocean
4. Doug Field needs a break?
5. Another fire Truck??
6. Sounds like Tesla engineers wanted to make Autopilot work like Supercruise
7. Another Tesla Fatality with Fire
8. Are the Tesla Model 3 brakes really worst in class?
9. Tesla/Grohman Automated Battery Assembly Arrived in NV
10. Looks like this Model S went after a Police car instead of a Firetruck?
11. Another Glass Roof Cracked on Model 3
12. Did the Model X Autopilot Accellerate into the barrier?
13. Tesla suffers Tent fire... Not Model 3 Production Tent...
14. Did Tesla really stop testing brakes to meet their production goals?
15. Even the hyper modified Tesla Model S Race Car overheats on the track
16. Munro says Tesla Model 3 is profitable
