“its plan to launch a third “affordable” all-electric model for roughly $45,000.”........
“Affordable”? Sounds like a union shop to me. Dump all ties to the union and the price will drop to half that cost.
Government subsidy? You decide.
Beat me to it. The carbon credit numbers are very large.
How old did you say you are?
For now, anyway, Tesla is non-union.
The UAW is working hard to change that. They failed in TN, they might have a better chance in Kalifornia.
...and Tesla will be “raping” Mother Earth to obtain the lithium, aluminum, etc to build the cars.
Add the fact more “raping” to build the power plants to generate the electricity to power the cars.
Do these idiots realize their own hypocrisy?
/rhetorical
Really a steep price. In the Phil by the month we get to see even newer models of cheap ass mostly defective made in china E-Bikes most of which cost well over 300 dollars that promises to bring you at least 30K for every change. Good thing is a foreign corporation has set up shop in Batangas to produce a commercial version of you Tesla’s. Fact is the biggest problems faced by any corporation building and selling vehicles n the USA is the huge amount of court cases they will content with should some guy drive any car and find something to sue with. Take away all the safety features and or limit it to the bare minimum then you will see a drastic reduction in car costs. But this is a great project, imagine building a factory in the US when most american companies jumped to China as soon as they found out they are willing to earn a dollar a day.
Tesla received Gov. handouts (which they repaid) but I thought that part of that contingency is that they had to develop a cheaper model car, and $45,000 is hardly cheap.
I see at least one or two on the road every day here in Dallas. I have actually seen three in the space of an hour and a half, just driving on 114, 121, and 35E.
Who said anything about rape? Besides Jim Morrison?
al qaeda runs on hate and evil as much as oil. they’re not going to go away anytime soon
You can turn garbage into hydrogen and other fuels. Solve two problems at once.

The leftwing enviro-terrorists/kooks have long preached humans have been raping their sacred Mother Earth goddess.
Pay attention....
How much of that success is from scamming the taxpayers for subsidies?

Who give a flying faddoodle what leftwing enviro-terrorists/kooks have to say to each other except each other? I know I don’t.
Evil succeeds when good men do nothing.
If it ever caught fire the toxic smoke would be devastating, the water tables would be ruined and the cleanup on a scale like Chernobyl.
I assume the lithium and neodymium mines will have the treehugger stamp of approval.
All their earthmoving equipment will have to run on ethanol, LOL.
LOL!!! I have been doing things all my life!
