It will be interesting to see how it works out for tesla. I know libs are definitely butthurt enough to ditch their tesla as soon as they can afford it. On the other hand I hear of more and more baws liking the idea of a commuter car that is a rocket and is able to be charged from home.

Oil and gas isn’t going anywhere unless we switch to nuclear.

By the time it does, AI will take most jobs anyway, and we’ll all just have jobs as hobbies. That’s Elon’s prediction.

the irony of of a bunch of O&G workers pimping the founder of a totally electric vehicle is not lost on me...






Conservative people purchasing Teslas/EVs because they support Elon is the textbook definition of ‘virtue signaling .’



*ETA and yes as an early TSLA investor i realize they are great products, but these same great products were shunned by most conservatives before Elon became publicly political .

I think musk knew that if he got behind trump, the hardcore left would cancel him but he also knew that they’d probably be back eventually as there is no better electric available. In exchange, he captures a hardcore right wing buyer immediately.

He also knows that his broad plan to impact climate change couldn’t really be realized without capturing the right.

If they are ever able to offer direct sale or lease in Louisiana I will consider one as a daily commuter vehicle


I recently got a Model Y for commuting, easiest car purchase ever, all done through the app. I'm in La and had to pick it up in Pensacola (I think another delivery location is Jackson MS) but was worth the ride over to get it. Love it so far. And you should get the $7,500 EV off the cost. Also have someone send you the referral link and get another $500 off and they get $500 charging credit I think.

As others said, charge it once a week at night and you good to go.

Well not exactly true. The more electric cars, the bigger demand for energy/electricity. The more demand there, the more oil and gas.


Nobody that buys electric cars over climate concerns is prepared to accept this.

It’s possible to align yourself with a candidate because you agree on some things but not everything.

make no mistake about it.... if there is increased demand for Teslas due to MAGAs new found love for everything Elon, O&G demand domestically decreases.... it's simple supply and demand... more electric vehicles decreases the amount of gas powered vehicles, in turn decreasing the demand for O&G... decreased demand, less profit, companies trim labor costs, people lose jobs... it sucks, but it is what it is



You should drop the “G” part of O&G because NG producers are pro EV.

Where do you think the electricity for all the new EVs are going to come from?
