For those that find the Tesla Rapid charge system too slow, another option is to change the Tesla batteries.
It isn’t apparent that this is an officially approved method or not?

China have been producing EV’s with battery swapping for some time. Tesla are behind the curve even if it is official.
Not too mention Tesla’s are not all they are cracked up to be by all accounts, yet idiots buy them in droves or did. And were paying hefty prices for them. They have dropped the range here to just the 3 and Y i saw on a recent video about EV’s.
Tesla has stopped making the model S & model X in right-hand drive. The Chinese BEV makers have outshone legacy auto by a huge margin on price & quality these days, The prestigious Geneva motor show has been cancelled because of the “uncertainties linked to the automotive industry” as they’ve nothing to show that can come close to the Chinese mainstream electric models.
There are no plans to revive the show even after 2025 such is the disruption in the industry these days.
No Geneva Motor Show? Does that mean a drop in earnings for bikini models?
That does surprise me though.
Having no plans for future years does not necessarily mean a full stop, but non the less does show a big change.
I didn’t notice earlier but Xiaomi have moved from phones into cars. And China has now 60%(?) of global sales. In the UK they aren’t in the top ten but with things changing globally that could change very rapidly; quicker that the change to the UK and European motorcycle industry earlier.
MG as an example for last year were just outside the top 10 sellers in at number 11 I think. With more new models like the hybrid 3 and the MG2 rumoured for later this year and the cyberster that is due this year that could well change this year. In fact I think all models bar the current MG4 are due for replacement this year or at least reasonable facelifts.
Last year they beat a lot of mainstream manufacturers including Skoda and Peugeot.
One Chinese owned brand that is growing year by year now, took some time but they are now gathering pace.

Looks like I got it wrong. The world is not about to change.
It already has.
The Geneva motor show will continue to be held in Qatar next year and going forward.
Looks like you didn’t actually watch the video

Given you have no idea what the video I watched was, how could you know what I did or didn’t watch?
Oh no I didn’t watch the original video as I have little interest in Tesla’s. But now I have I see what you were getting at.
I was referring to the comments made.
Geneva motor show being canceled has little to do with “lack of interest and uncertainty” they dont want ev’s and the residents that have them are only allowed to drive them at certain times due to the imported electricity.
