Ford didn’t need a bailout in 2008-2009. The only domestic auto company not to need one. They ran an ad to that effect and were crucified by Obama administration. Forced to stop advertising and take bailout money.

Our government sucks. The problem is we put them there by voting and cheating for those lying rat bastards.

I wouldn’t doubt there is suddenly all this bad press on EV’s just to tank Tesla and by extension, Elon.
I mean is it that outlandish of a theory?


no, but everyone keeps forgetting Telsa signed a deal with the United States government for 18 wheelers.

Also, they keep putting in laws to reduce emissions, these are wins for Elon every single time they happen.

He wont be stopped for a long while. He is in many market spaces where he can excel.

bullshite.

Either you are making this up or your cousin is an idiot. It only takes 25-30 minutes to charge a Tesla at the Tesla superchargers along the interstate.

My guess is you are making it up.

So he's avoiding the supercharger network completely and charging from zero to full off of wall chargers? Either your cousin is an idiot or you're a liar.

That assumes it's different people. It's the same people posting stupid shite here daily. Doesn't apply.

That said, I'm quite aware I'm the a-hole to them. I'm fine with that.

It's only 80 if you want to take your boat, RV, or side-by-side with you.

Most of the manufacturers are backing off of the EVs. It seems like the foreign car manufacturers are headed toward hybrids.

I’m in the steel business, we have built several EV battery plants the last 5-8 years those are quickly drying up. We have a couple plants sold that have been placed on hold or possibly going away all together.
