Progress is made through testing and pushing to the limits, which leads to explosions.

What makes this exciting isn’t that it wasn’t possible in the 60s. What makes this exciting is because it is much much cheaper and more sustainable than in the 60s. Not to mention safer and will soon create a private space industry.

Despite Tesla’s sales growing? Did you get magically transported to bizaro world? Or simply don’t know what the word peaked means?

They do focus on all of those, they just don’t make media headlines like for cars because media focuses more on stuff that impacts consumers.

Peaked? Despite the pandemic, Tesla sales have grown and continue to grow when most other automakers sales have fallen. On top of that many suffered delays to their EV programs due to the pandemic as well. And there is the whole thing about even the cars they have coming out in the future having inferior specs to what…

You make no sense, CARB doesn’t just regulate cars, they regulate emissions for everything including trucks, buses, trains, ferries, factories and etc. Taking them out would simply lead to more pollution in all of the above you stated.

Fuel economy standards dictate BOTH local pollution AND ghg. Not to mention being a coastal state, ghg matters to them as well due to their topography.

A) Emissions impact both ghg and smog, improved fuel economy would mean less smog too.

Musk will probably buy them. It isn’t the value of the stock that matters but control of the company. The whole compensation package is structured so that Musk can retain control of the company.

No it did not. The 1987 fuel economy mpg are not the same as the current 2011 5 cycle epa test which is much stricter. Not to mention 1987 was before ethanol was added.

Yes they can, they have done all of the above before.

Yes, it pretty much goes against the concept of human progress.

Can you please put 54 mpg CAFE! And remind people not to confuse CAFE with sticker.

Actually, Trump doesn’t care what happens. He just needed to show his voters he is shoving it to California. If it gets shut down in court, he can claim liberal activist judges. It’s all an election ploy.

Sorry, what in the world are you talking about? All I could make out is that you are used to being bullied, but how is any of that relevant?

You are not very smart are you? Carfax doesn’t include Tesla in their rankings because they don’t sell enough of them.

Probably because Tesla cars have the highest satisfaction of any car?

Ah, no. Again, Russia’s intention was to kill of the US oil industry as retaliation to the US. Saudi is simply a 3rd wheel in all this. When they saw Russia increase output during Corona, they tried to convince Russia to stop. But Russia refused, so Saudi took decided to also increase output to bury them both.

The problem here stems from the origin of the low oil prices. If it was due to natural competition that would be one thing. But the goal here is that Russia wants to bankrupt the american oil companies as retaliation for blocking them in Europe.

According to your study if you ever actually bothered reading it, the 75 kwh battery of a Tesla Model Y would be 2.25 - 3.75 tonnes of CO2e. If they were to scale it up to 100kwh, it would be 3 - 5 tonnes of CO2e.
