Our insistence on using the “market” through tax credits to get where we want to go is so goddamn stupid. Aside from the fact that EVs aren’t going to do much of anything to “solve” climate change, if you want to incentivize their purchase, just cut people a check if they buy one. And oh yeah, don’t give it to rich…

Dry heat and damp heat are completely different feeling and suck in different ways.

No, officer. I wasn’t driving drunk. I let go of the wheel and took my feet off the pedals.

I don’t understand VW, at all. They could have been selling the EV Bus as fast as they can produce them, instead they’re going with EVs which are pretty much indistinguishable from others (except for, from what I’ve read, having crappier UI). 

Do not move where there is no water.

And he’ll take credit for it going down.

Just put the mast’s on later. So fuckin’ stupid this “Story” has gone on as long as it has.

The true zenith of technology is not artificial intelligence, but artificial stupidity. Any good machine intelligence can make the right call based on available data; it takes a human-equivalent intelligence to take in all the data and then make the exactly wrong decision.

“Back then (2008) , automakers rushed to push out more economical vehicles because of consumer demand”

The American consumer isn’t burdened by taxes. They are burdened by gas prices.

What Biden should be doing is eliminating subsidies for the oil companies. They’re keeping prices artificially high to maximize profit for their shareholders at the expense of the general public, who indirectly finance them through these subsidies.

We don’t need a gas tax holiday. That tax money goes to useful things, the lost revenue will just be gotten somewhere else or we’ll just pay more in interest on the debt, and at this price nobody will notice an 18.3 cent reduction.

The disparity isn’t surprising in light of other wealth disparities. Wealthier folks are more likely to be cycling for recreation than basic transport. When you are cycling for recreation, you can choose routes that are pleasant to ride on (and likely safer). When you are riding for basic transport, you may find…

I’ve been riding and racing for 20 years and have seen experienced cyclists who ride over 10,000 miles a year fall over in that same manner. I think it is great that a man in his 70's is out there getting some exercise instead of sucking down Diet Cokes and lying about his weight while trying to end democracy.

The bad thing about it is these idiots get followers and think “Elon is so smart and he hates it so it must be true.”

The idea, which becomes worse and worse every year, that corporate Twitter accounts should, nay, must weigh in on every social issue of our time is both meaningless and idiotic.

I agree. Now that the legacy auto makers have started taking EVs seriously, Tesla is going to need to innovate more to keep their lead. They cant just ride on promises 

Please stay off the road people. Don’t do the math and find out you’re only spending $100 more than last year or whatever. Keep the roads and attractions empty.

So you don’t have to watch the video, here are the 5 features mentioned:

I have been thinking about this for some time.
