Tesla sales are going to be so hot they will be on fire. Literally; On fire.

Very succinct. Thanks for the reply.
From the hole thingie in the wall, of course!
Obama 'n them have made some great strides in scientology, don't you know?

I would consider that a plus.
Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk is my favorite African American.
You sure?
Day-yum. What was this thread about?
I think Candice Swanepoel.
It’s going to be hard to charge up electric cars without coal fired electric generating plants.
Why would you be excited about a nongas car going 20 to 30 miles per gallon when the gassed car has been doing that for decades?
If you’re about to burn to death while trapped in a battery fire, is there any way to electrocute yourself first or do you have to carry a revolver?
Tesla is a flash in the pan. Its buyers are just a bunch of Bat Man wannabees with a little too much money and time on their hands.
Just remember: they call themselves fool.com for a reason.
I don’t think she’s American, but she could qualify as my favorite African.
Without the state and fed funding, they would have gone under long ago........
You’re right. I was just thinking of South Africa, and my mind went to her. To be fair, hot women make my IQ drop sharply.

Windmills!
Isn’t this fun?
Ed Wallace has been on their case for a couple of years now. Tesla would need to build ~100,000 cars per year just to break even.
Don't get me wrong, EVs are fine for running errands around town, which Ed does in his Mitsubishi MiEV for $1.25 in electric costs per week.
This article seems designed to sucker a few more fools onto the bandwagon so that the earlier investors (aka fools) can find a more willing sucker.
There will be at least two solutions proposed for this tax deficiency. My guess is both will be adopted, with some states, counties, cities enacting variations of both.
1. Taxes on electricity will be substantially increased, whether metered for EVs or simply an overall rate increase.
2. A black box will record every mile you drive, and you'll be taxed on the total mileage at rates that exceed the current gasoline tax by 50 to 100 percent (simply my guess).
YOU GONNA PAY MORE TAXES! Surprised?
Prepare to pay your "fair share".
I'm here from the gummit and I'm here to hep you. :-)))
I really ain't from the gummit.
“And it rates 5.4 Stars in all 57 States!!!”
We’re subsidizing a luxury car; this has always been my issue.
Tesla should build a <$40k model to complement or terminate all subsidies/rebates.
And they can build their own damned supercharger stations (that only work on Teslas) without regard to subsidies.
