What difference does it make if you are exchanging for another EV? The EV tax credits are not a 1 time thing. You can claim them multiple times.

Or maybe have you bothered to check what Autopilot on aircrafts actually does?

An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without constant manual control by a human operator being required. Autopilots do not replace human operators, but instead they assist them in controlling the vehicle. This allows them to focus on broader aspects of…

That depends on how you look at it, the Model 3 seats are some of the best seats there is. And many people prefer the open interior. One thing that can’t be really shown in pictures is that due to having a simplistic center console, you get a much better view of the road than many other cars.

Tesla has fixed the fit and finish issues. That isn’t to say there aren’t outliners. But the Germans are not immune to having fit and finish issues like large panel gaps either.

How so? Average european puts in a ton less miles than average american. And Tesla’s charging network is much better than IONITY.

Credit for what?

It’s actually the opposite. Companies running on no profit has been the norm for ages. Because profit by nature is again extra money, you are generally better off investing the money back into the business or put the money in your own pocket as salary or bonus.

I think they can do more than 300k-400k. Model 3 only started delivering in some countries in end of 2019. And there are still countries Tesla has not opened to yet. There is also the whole thing with China (before they had to pay tariffs but now they can sell at a large discount).

Ah, no... that is a misconception of how companies work. Most companies are not profitable. A company can go without profit for 1000 years and a profitable company can go bankrupt the next day.

Is the joke here that most people think companies must be net profitable when in reality most companies are not profitable?

How is it anti-capitalism? People paying whatever they want for whatever is capitalism.

brine water is not water usage, brine water is like sea water, but much higher concentrations of salt. It is completely useless as drinking water. Even if you wanted to filter it, you’d just better off filtering sea water.

Hence why I am against the whole split vote nonsense. Let people vote for multiple people, and whoever gets the most votes wins. Thus eliminating the nonsense of the split vote.

Average person drives 37 miles, which is about 10 kwh. Average residential is 10,972 kwh per year or about 30kwh. For you to double your energy consumption, you would need to be driving 3X more than average, or your house must consume 3X less than average.

Not sure what you mean, lithium is one of the cleanest things you can mine (relatively) and there is no real shortage of it. It is 2x more common than lead and 10x more common than tin.

One in no way contradicts the other. Conversion of all cars to electric would only add 25% to the grid as a whole. Which isn’t little but isn’t much either.

BEV trucking can do 500 miles which is 95% of class 8 trucks.

Hydrogen has good energy density by weight, but poor energy density by volume (even after being compressed to a ridiculous 10,000 psi). The hydrogen drivetrain as a whole is also heavy and large. This is why a Mirai has the external proportions of a full sized sedan, but the interior of only a sub-compact.

The problem is not just the electricity cost but the inefficiency of electrolysis and its high cost of it. Then the high storage costs and compression costs. Hence why hydrogen goes for $15 per gallon eq.
