When you read the article, you see that they ALREADY HAVE these problems.
The taxpayers are paying for everything.
I have a gripe with taxpayers subsidizing anybody's vehicle purchase, or solar panel installation for that matter.
... and can be used only once.
Only insofar as your mortgage interest tax deduction is taxpayer funded.
The interest is real. Great place to put $1000 if you like electric cars (many do), have the cash to invest in first dibs (i would if I had $1k to spare), and plan to spend around $35k on a sedan in a couple years.
The number of electric cars in Atlanta is amazing.
33 posts before someone noticed the glaring absurdity in the article.
With your correct numbers, the electric breaks even with gas at 1000 recharges (half that when gas goes back up to $4/gal). Methinks EV will prove even cheaper, all things considered.
Anybody know how many they plan to make a year?
$300,000,000 in cash just laying around.
Why, you could just live well and turn out 5000 cars a year because of technical difficulties.
Well, there's a big difference in a tax deduction and a tax credit.
Yeah, conservative or not, I don’t look to political lawyers for technology news.
Here is why Tesla always was doomed to fail. Because the other auto manufacturers are not going to sit idly by while Musk siphons off even a tiny portion of their market share. They big boys have been perfecting coachbuilding for decades, and the lack of build quality obviously is one of Tesla’s chief failings. But the traditional manufacturers can build an equivalent or even superior all-electric or hybrid technology powerplant in a fraction of the time it will take Tesla to work the bugs out of its coachbuilding. Telsa cannot survive (unless they switch to building electric razors, then they stand a chance).
BMW alone already is selling more hybrid cars annually than Tesla’s combined sales. It’s just a matter of time until there’s no one driving Teslas except Leonardo DiCrapio and Ed Begley Junior.
