That’s right because they aren’t practical. Get it?

Battery EV’s are but an expensive nitch product and will be never anything more.

“That’s right because they aren’t practical. Get it?”

Nope. Because Tesla has a backlog of car orders and Musk is also building battery factories, lithium refineries and spaceships.

Even Superman can’t do everything.

Did you know every single Tesla made has been recalled? I guess except for the ones made last week.

Did you know over 58 million cars were manufactured this year?

Did you know China makes more EV’s than the rest of the world combined?

Did you know China makes more cars than the rest of the world combined?

The scale of the transition boggles the mind. EV’s are just nitch vehicles.

You’re on the wrong side of this issue brother.

Taliban like radical progressivism has destroyed California. It has exterminated the personal destinies of the citizens

California citizens are just tax slaves working to create the delusion of Utopia

It’s been my experience if you don’t bug out at least 48 hours before landfall your screwed.....72 hours is really most desirable.

We went to check on our relatives in the Panama City area three days AFTER Hurricane Michael, a CAT 5.

The devastation was horrendous. I have been thru 5 hurricanes CAT 2’s and 3’s, and never saw anything like Michael’s destruction.

Entire forests of old growth pines, 2 and 3 feet thick cut down like a giant lawnmower went thru them at 15 feet off the ground.....

If a 5 is anywhere near coming at you get away as far and as fast as you possibly can...................

Yeah a team from my church went to Mexico Beach 2 or 3 times after hurricane Michael setting up sheds for people to have a place to store whatever they could salvage from their houses.

They came back stunned at the complete destruction.

Yep. Unfortunately that’s the risk when you live on the southern coast.

A mandate like this helps reassure them that there will be a market for these vehicles.

Not if they don't sell.

I asked that question months ago at FR.

<> I suspect I’ll be seeing EVs scattered along the highway like so many discarded soda cans<>

And dead bodies stinking in the summer heat.

H2 is a very small molecule. From a practical standpoint, this means it really, really wants to escape containment. And to store enough of it to do useful things, it must be stored a high pressures. This makes it really, really likely to leak! It’s hard to make it not leak!

What are the practical results of a hydrogen leak?

Well, this example from history is illustrative:
