Good luck keeping the unions away from Tesla in California. The left will eat their own again. A model 3 will be 70k once they start having to pay battery installers 120k per year.

The oil industry receives over $5 trillion dollars in subsidies worldwide each year, so that cannot be the reason for the disdain by the oils boys.

They aren't all being built in California.
The gigafactory is going to be the home eventually. Or at least is the plan.

What are you talking about? There isn't any energy source out there that can compare to the performance of fossil fuels. There's a reason fossil fuels have been so prevalent for so long.

Unsure if that stat is legit but what are their profits? More than 5 trillion?
I hate corporate welfare but I hate corporate welfare for companies who are in the red. At least the former would still exist without government intervention...

The American taxpayer is all I care about
Tesla is in the business of collecting subsidies. It's their primary goal. Musk doesn't care if his business isn't profutable, he's going to get paid. I

So, you're only in favor of corporate welfare if the company doesn't need it?

It also triggers plain old taxpayers like me.
They should really dazzle and have a profitable quarter or two.

You obviously don't keep up with current events. You really should try watching something other than FNC.

LOL @ U
The biggest waste of federal subsidies is the nuclear energy industry. And don't believe that the fossil fuels industry doesn't get billions from the feds in tax credits/subsidies because it simply does.

I don't watch FNC, but I am involved in the solar and wind industry as a consulting engineer and electrical contractor......I know what I know.

Whether u like it or not, electric cars will be very viable and commonplace within 10 to 15 years, if not sooner. That is simply a fact. The cost of the batteries have come way down in just the last decade and will continue to do so.

Hardly any after Trump and the Conservatard pass this fake middle-class tax cut which is really aimed at appeasing the donor class, like that fruitcake Robert Mercer, Exxon-Mobil, and the Koch Brothers.

Will still be more than a company burning through money and reporting a loss all but one quarter of its existence.

It sold tax credits to record a profit that one quarter. Out of 14 years.
