Help getting off the ground and subsidies to push forward is not contrary to a free market.
It's not very different from gun manufacturer contracts, where they compete for the purchase of their products.
If the demand is there by the consumer, as it clearly is, then the government just helps the company with the best tech rise to meet that demand.
Additionally, and further to the point, arguing this is stupid -- because just about all major car manufacturers were given extreme subsidies and more or less squandered them. Tesla did not. Tesla actually made a good product.
If you've been paying attention for the last few years, it's pretty obvious how the cabal picks winners and losers. Electric is the current winner that they're pushing. There's little free market about it, and it certainly doesn't solve any real or perceived environmental problems.
You are aware that Telsa sold approximately 349,000 EV's in the last quarter, right? That Tesla has so many backorders on the books - right now - that they may stop taking pre-orders, because the backorders are going out beyond a year.
Compare against GM, that sold 349 cars; after dealers marked the prices up $10,000 over sticker. You cannot even order a Ford Mustang EV this year.
Whatās your point? Tesla was built off of government subsidies, not free market demand. Sure, thereās some demand now. The Ford Mustang Mach E is a great vehicle. I drive oneā¦there are some available on dealer lots, and you were able to place an order for one at some point this year. Current EVs are not yet practical for the masses. If demand is there, businesses will follow with products. The government wouldnāt need to regulate EVs into existence. When battery tech is at 1000 miles per charge highway range, fills up in less than 10 minutes from empty, and has readily available and reliable infrastructure everywhere, thatās a different story. No one is going to sit here and tell me theyāre more environmentally friendly, or that most companies are going after them because of the natural market demand.
The problem with electric is that it's being pushed by the cabal, not the free market.
A little bit of column A, and a little bit of column B.
Clearly gas vs electric is being used as a wedge issue. They are creating demand.
Tesla, on the other hand, is pushing to improve the technology beyond everyone else, which is a function of the free market, to meet that demand.
I like Elon but he built his business off of government subsidiesā¦.thatās not free market demand.
The government helps a lot of businesses.
