That doesn’t look like an interstate charging network to me.

Superchargers are still going to be a 10 year fundamental advantage for Tesla. Organic growth of recharging stations will probably not produce the equivalent of 2020 supercharging for 5-7 years, and that’s 5-7 years of Tesla gaining more advantage.

A battery…

GM hasn’t done 10-15 amazing models in ... 50 years? 60 years? Especially with rebadges.

Far higher mileage with theoretical lower cost of repairs/mainteance, deductible/expensing, and lower fuel costs for the higher rate of usage could all move the cost under even an ICE platform.

1500 HP for an ICE is Veyron cost.

1500HP for an EV will be 1/10th the cost in 5-10 years.

Who know, maybe “Fix it Again Tony” is a billionaire that wrenches his own cars.

Or Wankels.

Look at the design. You basically get the HP by adding motors, and while that isn’t as simple as Legos, it isn’t rocket science.

1500 HP EV “supercars” are going to be dirt cheap compared to the Veyron days. In 10 years there will probably be a sub-150K (adjusted for inflation because deadspinners are dumb) example.

So…

Here’s a great example how paranoid “white folks” are about property values and the long history of racism in housing, just project this particular case of paranoia about derelict Jeeps devaluing their houses and add a healthy dose of xenophobia and not-aryans moving next door.

And the rub is on day-to-day matters,…

Those tech diagrams really highlight the century of accumulated engineering in ICE drivetrains and car design.

And it highlights how EVs will eat ICEs in the long run. EVs are in the neophyte stage of engineering, are saddled with high battery prices, and yet are reaching price parity with large segments of ICE car…

Because that made sense as a strategic market response to the Tesla Model S 10 years ago, and only now is that idea actually being acted upon.

They’re the ones being honest with numbers. Those morning shock shows must be down 50%+. 

Horsepower will equate to the top speed (depending a lot on aerodynamics).
Torque will equate to how fast it accelerates (depending on weight).

What about the credits aren’t a functional economic policy? It is taking money from polluters and giving it to a company that is investing in EV, solar, and grid storage.

People that push this also are GW deniers of the worst kind. 

IT drives me nuts that people think credits are false revenue. It’s probably the only carbon tax and market that is actually producing results.

Tesla gets money to build EV and battery and solar factories from polluting car companies.

That is as good as it gets in the current conservative wet dream economy that is…

You might not actually be a troll. So have you looked at the plummeting costs of batteries and solar in their primary businesses? That’s not incremental falls, it’s currently riding a 10-year 10-15% annual drop in cost and increase in efficiencies.

When your core product is on a geometric cost reduction compared to a…

I got greyed for basically nothing, but Tesla hater uses “dumbfuck” with impunity. 

Your take is measured and probably accurate. But that’s not what Tesla clickbait story discussions are about on Jalophate.

Aaaand, we can check off homeroom attendance for another shorter

Roll call: Tesla shorter reporting in!

Hey! Tesla shorter reporting in!
