Tesla’s Quarterly Profits Plunge 44% - The New York Times

And you're correct. Along the 95 corridor, there are plenty of charging stations. Unfortunately, that is not what is available for the rest of the country...

And you would be wrong. I have driven (and rode in) a Tesla. Cool car, but nothing that special...


OK, I'm WRONG. See how easy it is. Now, you try it without yeah butts. Tesla is profitable, you were wrong. Now, your turn.

And this is important?

...

What might be important is his statement is not true. Center of gravity has nothing to do with acceleration or deceleration. (and an electric cart DOES NOT have a lower center of gravity but that was from a different post of his)

Think about that. It will reduce the available power generation across the entire country. Any replacement power will need to come from natural gas, solar, or wind.
Using natural gas will drive up the cost of all oil derived energy. Building new power plants is expensive. Solar and wind are not reliable as supplying the base load needed to run the country. More EVs will create more demand - a lot of that at night - when wind and solar produces nothing.

One good think about executive’s orders, the next guy can trash them with stroke of pen.
