EV’s don’t bother me. It’s a niche market opportunity I think is cool. If you want one, get one. And the Tesla is a fricking cool machine.

What does bother me is the overarching narrative that they must be the end all be all, and that the combustion engine should go the way of the dodo bird.

That’s what’s stupid. As you mentioned, it’s not sustainable in the least at this point nor anytime soon.

We didn’t abandon the horse and buggy when the Model-T was created. Nor did we abandon the prop plane when jet engines were created. You let the technology grow organically. The market will do what it will do when you let it live and breathe.

Democrats are stupid in everything they think, believe, and scream about when it comes to economics and how it works with their agendas. It’s pathetic.

The government poured assloads of money into those technologies when they were emerging.

Governments all around the world have been subsidizing new and emerging tech for centuries. Why do people on this board constantly act like EVs have gotten some big leg up that older tech never got?

I mean, government still subsidizes O&G in various ways. Don’t hear complaints about that on TD.
