You will never pay for gas again. You will pull up, charge in minutes, and leave, no charge.
Tesla is planning to build a big factory to make batteries. Estimated cost: $4 to $5 billion. The "Winning" state will have to pony up 10% of that.
Put on your thinking cap, Ernest. How are you possibly going to drive away and not pay for the electricity pumped into your batteries? Electricity costs are soaring and the government is forcing the shutdown of 100 GW (that's 100,000 Mega Watts!) over the next few years because they burn coal. Wind and solar are not economical and cannot be dispatched (i.e., turned on and off when you want). When you factor in mythical energy storage systems, wind and solar are going to cost MUCH more than coal and natural gas.
This article is a bunch of tripe. There's huge money going to be made and it's all the result of crony-fascism.
Right after my last post it occurred to me that yep, it's a scam. Outrageously over hyped claims (World Changing! Next Great Age of Man!!, etc.) And it's going to be run with involvement of governments and mega corporations scattered around the world? That ought to work for them. Grab your wallets folks.
