Ping!.......................
Tesla stock will be up today.
What about updating the electric grid to charge all of these electric cars?
What about building about 50 new nuclear reactors to power the grid?
2 out of 3 ain’t bad.....................
You could end US production of gas/diesel cars tomorrow, with the idiots thinking people would just naturally go out to buy the electric cars. It won’t happen. Used cars would suddenly have value and double in price within weeks. The car sales industry would stand there in shock as general interest is marginal.
You could even hand every single American $50,000 in cash if they’d buy a battery-car....it won’t reset the mentality about the acceptance.
If I cannot drive 900 miles in ONE DAY it is worthless..............
The bitch at GM sold her soul to the failing UAW
The EV industry can only exist with incentives and coercion. BTW the whole concept is an enviormental disaster.
What incentives are proposed to build MORE POWER GENERATING PLANTS?????
Grid is already overloaded with more more demand & less supply.
Hone our ICE skills and get a decoder? We recently drove from Reno to Elko NV and back. We weren’t specifically looking for any charging stations but did notice there weren’t any when we did stop. Maybe pedo joe will provide access to charging stations in the same manner as the rural internet access. You know since black folks can’t seem to figure out how to get a signal. Or hire and attorney or bookeeper or.........
So...how many new electric power plants are they going to build to power this miraculous transformation?
“What about building about 50 new nuclear reactors to power the grid?”
I think the game is scarcity and price.
To get people out of individual means of transportation and to use much less electric on an individual basis is part of their Great Reset nonsense.
Control Soviet style.
They want their Tesla stock to be the next amazon stock. It’s disgusting.
oh good, more handouts for elon musk - the biggest welfare queen of them all.
Those would have worked great in Texas back during the snowstorm. February. Are people supposed to plug in their cars and hope the power comes back on?
since we’re throwing $7500 at people to buy one now, and with all the hoopla they have managed to sell 300,000 a year. Sounds like they’ve filled that niche.
Yes, there is a base of people, who live where it’s advantageous to have one — such as commuting and being able to use HOV lanes in heavy traffic or living in a major city where range is not an issue, and for those people it’s been a real boon... and we’re paying for it!
But even with all of that, most people aren’t interested. There’s no compelling reason unless our ‘leaders’ shove it down our throats by legislative action.
The only benefit I see to electric vehicles is smugness.
Soon, there will be EOV lanes and EOV ONLY Roads!..............😣
Mostly the rich own these crap cars - so this amounts to Federal government subsiding the relatively wealthy at the expense of everyone else.
Tesla stock 1.55% up
Such a great idea, the govt has to create a market for it
