I bet the first car was also more expensive to run than a horse.

No Henry Ford is coming for you. This is all about undoing what Henry Ford did.

true, but it also was not subsidized by horse owners taxes and the government did not go out and build gas stations with horse owners tax money.

No one threatened to make horse illegal by a certain arbitrary date, and no one blamed horses for the end of the world, or tried to force them to get rid of their horse.

They just invented electricity? Nah. Electricity prices aren’t getting significantly cheaper for a very long time

slightly OT but

quote:

In a hypothetical tug-of-war between a horse and a vehicle with 1 horsepower, the outcome would depend on several factors such as the weight of the vehicle, the traction of its tires on the ground, the strength of its suspension and transmission components, and the torque it is capable of generating at its wheels.

In general, a horse has much greater pulling power than a vehicle with just 1 horsepower, due to the horsepower-to-weight ratio and its muscular anatomy that is well-adapted for pulling. However, if the vehicle has a heavy weight, large tires with good traction, and a robust suspension and transmission, it might be able to hold its own against the horse.

It's worth noting that this is a theoretical scenario, as tug-of-wars between live animals and motor vehicles are ethically and morally problematic, and should not be attempted.

I bet owning a horse was also more expensive than walking. What’s your point?

Bet the government didn't threaten folks or offer subsidies to sell Model Ts.
If it's a good idea, folks will buy. If it's a bad product then persuasion and arm twisting becomes necessary.

You’re comparing something that is much more efficient and sustainable than a horse. Now you’re comparing something that is much more efficient and sustainable to an electric vehicle. The gas guzzler still wins.
