    Especially now that a lot of countries are starting to notice the drain on energy networks.

    Lmao

    But I doubt they’re really “struggling”.

    You don’t have to sit there and imagine things, because they are a publicly traded company…

    It’s clear Musk’s politics have turned off a ton of potential customers worldwide. Tesla sales are falling off, while eg the Hyundai Ioniq is setting sales records in the US

        LOL, seems like you are only are aware of Tesla losses and try to explain it that it is because a power grid can’t handle it.

        In reality it is that Tesla is losing customers which are fleeing to other manufacturers.

        As for the energy consumption, for example in California 25% of new car sales are BHEV. Currently electric cars use 1% of the power and the estimates are that by 2035 (when sales of new ICE vehicles will be banned) this will go to 4%.

        Since these cars easily take up the same as an entire household overnight.

        You mean the same as the household take up overnight where most are sleeping and have turned almost everything off? That’s not actually a lot…
