The only problem with this line of reasoning is that it’s simply conjecture. There is no evidence to back up this claim (other than more WSJ conjecture). I’m not saying it’s not possible, but there isn’t any concrete evidence or proof that this is the case. In other words, it’s a bit of a pointless argument and won’t…

Your argument still reveals quite a bit of bias on your behalf. I’m not terribly invested in arguing anything, as I’m not a Tesla fanboy or a Tesla basher. I’m simply a casual observer. It seems to be that you’re still making a false claim they’re doing everything to explain why it’s “not their fault”. I believe the…

I’m not sure what you mean by “trying to deflect” to their battery factory? If a company has an issue, and then they specify where that issue lays, isn’t that called an “explanation”? Trying to deflect implies the issue lies somewhere else, and that they’re shifting attention away from the real reason. What evidence…

I think you’ve read way too much into what he said. I don’t see any juxtaposition. I could be mistaken, but it looks to me as though you’re searching for any morsel that might confirm your personal beliefs or doubts regarding Bernie Sanders. He didn’t refer to ordinary Americans as different Americans than latinos,…

The “zero emissions” relates specifically to the car only and is 100% accurate, not to the overall chain of energy production and consumption. When we talk about ICE car emissions, we certainly aren’t including all the energy required to drill for and refine oil.

I think you make a pretty self evident point about French cars being special because we don’t get them in North America. I’m pretty sure everyone, including the author, recognizes that fact. The point that’s really relevant here is that there are a number of interesting models offered by French manufacturers. No one…

Bicyclists refuse to follow the laws of the road? So you’ve witnessed the tens of millions of cyclists in the US, and they don’t follow the rules? Or you’ve witnessed a handful behaving this way and you paint them all with the same brush? That’s as stupid as saying all drivers speed, and all cops kill unarmed black…

I think there’s a pretty massive difference when you actually examine the issue. Drones cost a minuscule fraction of the cost, don’t require many years and billions of dollars to develop, they can fly places that helicopters can’t, and they’re tiny. I think the issue with them is a larger issue of inexpensive machines…

Might help if you include additional pictures of the visit...he has some pretty genuine smiles while meeting the Trudeau’s. I’d have to say, I’m pretty sure he was much less enthused about meeting Cheeto than he was Trudeau.

I understand your position, and agree that the law may have some undesired consequences. But ultimately, those that are respecting the law and not driving excessively fast, will not be stopped or have their cars impounded. We don’t hear about this sort of thing often, and that’s because other drivers don’t call the…

It’s pretty straightforward, really. When anyone is charged with a crime or offence, the police collect evidence after the fact... There’s nothing unusual or strange about them asking for evidence after the fact. The police could catch someone in the act of murder, but that doesn’t mean they don’t investigate and seek…

Lots of speculation, but no evidence that cops didn’t have sufficient cause to lay charges. The only abuse of the law was the speeding and stunt driving. Cops aren’t abusing the law, they’re enforcing it. You can challenge the evidence, but you weren’t there, nor do you have any idea of what evidence or information…

Oh, come on... Selling off Hydro one and somehow they’re socialists? Either you just hate what you think a “socialist” is and you hate the Liberal gvmt, and therefore associate the two, or you have no clue what real socialism is. I hate this government as well, but you’re insulting socialists by comparing them to the…

One last interesting thing about an earlier point you made, which was so ridiculously funny. You said that low EV sales must mean they don’t make sense. The irony in that comment is that CARS THEMSELVES were not sold in large numbers when they were first invented. I guess that must mean they didn’t make sense at the…

Ok there Einstein. That’s all you needed to say, I couldn’t possibly guess who was smarter. The one arguing for the status quo technology that’s reaching it’s limits and based on finite resources, or the one arguing for a much more efficient and advanced technology which is currently on its way in. You’ve latched onto…

Weak. I never said they progressed at the same rate as Moore’s law. That was a general statement to demonstrate that technology progresses when consistent work is done in R&D. You may also not have known that computers didn’t exist when EV’s first existed. To compare EV’s then to EV’s now is like comparing the wright…

My gosh, such a poorly thought out statement. No, you can’t claim that a low percentage of EV sales means they don’t make sense. There’s so little logic in that statement. Any new technology tends to be expensive and is only adopted by early adopters in the beginning. Then, as production volumes increase and costs…

I guess when one argument fails, you move to find another one to justify your hate of EV’s? Because that’s typically what someone with an axe to grind or ulterior motives does. You just hate EV’s, and try to use any argument to back up your position. Why don’t you just stop trying to make an argument and just own your…

You keep repeating that like a mantra. I think we all understand where electricity comes from. That’s the only real argument you keep making, and I keep telling you based on that fact, electric is still better when you consider the total consumption. I don’t think you understand what you’re arguing, or you’re…

Also, keep in mind that market forces are definitely not based on what technology is better, but virtually always where the greatest profit is. Gasoline was a huge discovery when combined with ICE. Imagine the billions or trillions of dollars that have been made selling gasoline for over 100 years (and on into the…
