Future documentary "Today we're looking at the California and Texas Superfund sites, formerly Tesla manufacturing locations."

That’s what the Democrats need. A candidate with a spine. Forget this wishy washy “be nice to everyone, we can compromise!” bullshit, give people a reason to vote for the Democrats. We need a modern Roosevelt, a 21st century new deal candidate who can actually fight for progressive ideals, not someone just saying "but…

point of subsidies is to help companies buld their business. That happened with Tesla. They don’t need subsidies any more. Musk admitted as much when he said eliminating them won’t hurt Tesla sales.

If elections and the law aren’t going to discipline these narcissistic robber-barons, maybe Karma will.

Had Elmo attended those smarty colleges he exploited to flee his South African military duties and gain U.S. citizenship, he would’ve gotten to play some chess.

I get that a freshly-minted manufacturing startup may take a few years to get in proper shape regarding environmental and safety compliance. But is Tesla’s negligence in line with this, or are they especially bad? (They’ve been around for over two decades...)

“Porsche has announced plans to launch a large full-electric SUV codenamed K1 designed to sit above the Cayenne. It will be mainly focused on the U.S. and Chinese markets.”

At the end of the day it is on California to follow through with its violations and penalties. You can assess as many penalties as you want but if they are not enforced and followed up with more severe punishments, nothing will happen.

Fuck Elon.  That is all. 

When you’re a billionaire, they let you do it.

Isn’t this Erin Brockovitch type shit the stuff people used to go to jail for?

It’s not about excluding Tesla. It’s about putting caps on companies who have already reached a high level of EV sales just like the old federal subsidy program that Tesla also capped out on.

“I would imagine the response from Musk would be to slow down deployment of upgrades/expansion of the Supercharger Network.”

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m starting to think that this Elon guy isn’t such a good dude.

It’d be stupid if this were a personal beef, but even factoring in what a petty grandstanding asshole Newsom is, the fact of the matter is Elno is actively fucking with politics and causing enormous damage because his feefees are hurt. Newsom quite reasonably doesn’t want to keep paying Elno to do that.

Elmo said Tesla isn’t a car company anymore, so this shouldn’t matter at all, right?

I would imagine the response from Musk would be to slow down deployment of upgrades/expansion of the Supercharger Network.

Fuck Elon.  Bury him and his company into the ground.

1st Gear:  Musk isn’t much of a chess player, is he?

There’s a lot of words there that don’t seem to clearly explain why Tesla would be eliminated from eligibility.
