The supercharger goes sideways and you might run out of money five minutes after you bought it.

You are out of your mind. Get counselling before someone is seriously hurt.

The economist and the author above miss a key difference between these companies from Tesla. Tesla makes stuff. All the others don’t. The per unit cost with Tesla will sink it once the market fills with competitors/the grants run out (another huge difference) - when they have no competitive edge.

Make it 20% more powerful and charge $2500 and it will sell.

How hard will it be to match if you get in a fender bender?

What part of the continent do you live on. In the west with long stretches of straight highway I bet you would be using it.

Hideous

About two grand too much.

So Raphael, in your opinion what percentage of the participants cars were illegally stanced or in some other way violating the law?

If it isn’t being moved on a regular basis it should be removed - that’s what they would do with a derelict car or truck. But if the guy is driving it regularly and it is properly licensed then good for him

The net effect will be all cars will at least have brake energy recovery systems - hybrid - and the ability to add some energy via a plug-in.

It’s an excellent plan - lower taxes and less rules mean more wealth for everyone.
