Your logic is flawed. We shouldn’t be subsidizing ANYTHING. Either its viable in a free market, or it’s not.

Disagree. The subsidy makes purchasing one more attractive to buyers. Without this subsidy, Tesla would not have been able to continue producing EVs at a scale other than bespoke. Now they are in the early stages of making a mass market sedan and are continuing to develop better battery technology. The subsidy is not…

You are very small minded. This incentive is supposed to drive innovation and move our transportation system forward.

Used Volts are getting very cheap and are quite reliable (showcase car for GM)...just a thought.

I work in materials research and the amount of money going into battery R&D from every direction is nuts right now. Makes me wish I’d taken a slightly different career path! Probably half my friends are doing something related to it, either at a university, a gov’t lab, a private lab, a startup, or somewhere they…

Worth noting that Musk is a big proponent of asteroid mining, the ultimate in “more expensive” mining techniques. He’s stated it as a necessary step in the colonization of Mars (SpaceX’s official long term goal) but if Tesla and other EV makers start needing massively more metal than we produce right now, that could…

If you live out in cali, or the south, sure. Where I live.....

Get out of here with this calm, rational response!

Not to flame on but... These are great for people who live near work or school, and in places where it won’t rain for half the year. However, on the vast majority of situations, you have to pay a premium to live near work, so it’s not that feasible.

Also, SpaceX was started before Tesla

prove it. once a bev is built its use of fossil fuels is done. renewables are a larger source of power generation every year. some people like me are on 100% solar plans. you could theoretically power your bev using only energy generated at your own house. ice will always need to feed the machine through drilling…

I do! I mention it in the very first paragraph!

“Electric cars are great for suburbs!” just doesn’t have the same futuristic, elitist ring to it, though.

That is awesome. My only complaint is that the true fascist pig will only wear SS black.

On one hand, AoE3 was utter crap compared to the golden entry in the series AoE2...

Haven’t we all found ourselves suddenly caught up in the middle of a bunch of Nazis shouting bullshit until we’re red in the face, only to later ask ourselves, Wow! That was weird! Sooooo not like me at all. How’d that happen?
