Since it's all going to pay federal taxes, it's actually your money, not his. 

Michael Schwekutsch, who formerly oversaw hardware on the tech giant’s autonomous, electric car project. He’ll now be the senior vice president of engineering at flying taxi purveyors Archer Aviation

It would not qualify; it has to be in the US. The only care that complies is the Bolt. 

Elon didn’t invent the Tesla, he is not a founder either. He came in as an investor and ran the OGs out. He has been a good hype man. Despite how much I want him to shut up sometimes I will still buy a Tesla.

ALL of these billionaires are becoming America’s entrenched aristocracy, or Gentry. Their wealth is multi-generational (and increasing). We are on the fast track to 18thC France. American democracy, as understood post WW2, is fading away, to an authoritarian plutocracy. There will still be political parties, there…

Musk is already exactly what you’re talking about. His family is rich, and all he’s done is buy other people’s ideas with daddy’s apartheid emerald money.

“That’s because the Tesla CEO sold almost another million of his Tesla shares this week, worth about $1.01 billon.”

1st: not surprised that the Japanese makers like Toyota and Honda have been caught asleep at the wheel. They've become so good at ICE and hydrogen they likely saw no need to develop battery tech. Or thought that Sanyo or Panasonic would scratch their backs when they needed batteries. Unfortunately they're now at the…

4th Gear: Can all the people who constantly say “Well he doesn’t really have that much money” shut the hell up now?

Hi, vehicle importer here!

It’s a digital dash, so almost certainly.

Don’t most cars have the option to switch between km and miles? 

As the owner of a imported Canadian BMW, it does come with some extra baggage... Nothing you can’t work around, but it’s there... The biggest thing for me is the ECUs are (at least in my case) programmed in metric units, and even if you set everything to display in freedom units, it still reports everything off the…

Looks at David Tracy’s driveway.

The average American household has 1.97 cars, so that’s not entirely true. 

Great points. However, this, for me personally, is the first time an EV (and I am not talking about expensive toys like the Taycan) has made me feel I am ready to make the switch. IMO it has the right mix of low environmental impact and attributes that just make it a good car to drive. But I understand I am an “n” of…

The numbers came from the video I linked, the math I did on a calculator.

Oh, and you’re right, there are no ill effects at all to getting crude oil out of the ground.

Good thing they don’t get blizzards in California.

As I’ve said in other articles, this industry is ripe for a large scale industrial manufacture to come in and wreck up the place.
