re: Elon Musk Says Tesla Will Be $1 Trillion Dollars Soon

Iowa the reason the electric car is so revolutionary is, take me for instance, I have gas stations, I have a couple garages at some of them, the modern car is a complex machine, many jobs and specialties are at stake if tesla succeeds, or if the electric car in general makes it. Transmission shops gone, oil changes gone, countless mechanic jobs are gone....why?

The electric vehicle engine is so simple, just an electromagnet and a spindle. It has no transmission,gears,starter motor, flywheel,No radiator, I could go on and on. I dont think people grasp just how simple this car is. You look at european cars like Mercedes or BMW and I have a master mechanic at one of my shops and he swears european cars are so complex to work on vs american cars bc of all the unions in europe that basically want more work for the employees to have jobs. Tesla is taking a big doo doo all over complexity,margins, and everything the multi trillion dollar auto and oil industry is doing, and lots of money and jobs are at risk if we have a giant shift to electric motors.

Hell I wont have gas station, just a ton of land, but what Im saying is Tesla is at the forefront of what could be a gigantic modern day revolution, thats why it has so many haters out to destroy everything it does. I admit Im not a fan, but thats bc Im heavily invested into these gas stations. As a spectator the story is fascinating and the opening of this gigafactory in 2 weeks could be the beginning of something magical.
