Looks like the push for electric vehicles is backfiring in California!

The car pictured above is backed by Tesla's Supercharging network. That means that it can travel anywhere in the US and Chinada.
Pick on all the other shit EV's. Tesla's are revolutionary and they're taking over the world.
Oh, and they're the most American-made Vehicles around.
Except the batteries. The innards are mined by slave labor overseas. The cars are "assembled" in America.
No it can travel anywhere in the US. There are only two charging stations in my whole county, and they probably don't fit Teslas.
The only person I know who owns a Tesla is a multi-millionaire. And he had to be on a waiting list for a year or more to get his Plaid. They claim the wait time is only a few months now. I'll never have enough money to buy one.
The material for the batteries can be recycled at almost 99%. That means that in like a decade mining will not be necessary. Where as oil is always needed. It's simple math bud. The transportation system had to evolve into EVs for everything...
Even Jordan Peterson tells young people to buy tesla shares. You should too and just hang on for 5 years minimum...
This comment will age well.
But the windmills and solar panels cannot be recycled. Oil will never run out. Oil is the most concentrated portable source of power around, outside of nuclear. And the windmills require oil to operate and diesel-powered ships, trains, and trucks to get the windmill parts on site for assembly by more diesel-powered equipment. On top of that, I live down the road from one of the larger windmill installations in the US, and not one bit of that electricity is available to anyone in my state, especially not for cars. The fields of solar panels in my area also ship their power north to another state.
I'm pretty sure most "investments" in the markets will be toast soon.
I will be keeping my car for many years. Electrics will never really catch on until there are places to charge them, and they charge more quickly than hours. There are currently only two car chargers in my whole county. No one needs to travel with an electric car in my area.
Yes, there are many dead zones that need work. Also I agree that Tesla, ramping as fast as it does, cannot fill in the whole market. Other EV makers have to jump all in in order to make the change quickly enough.
To me the dream of powering my car on solar roof panels is what the future is all about. Hopefully Tesla figures out the manufacturing issues with the new 4860 battery asap.
The EV credits, etc are bullshit IMO. Also cutting down oil manufacturing is moronic as even Elon said.. we need more oil not less. Fucking lefty fucks are destroying the economy on purpose.
