I meant are the taxpayers subsidizing the power. You cleared that up for me, thank you. But in the end, I suppose we the taxpayers actually ARE subsidizing the powering of the batteries because Tesla will only pass along the increase to the government. So, Tesla owners believe the free power will go on indefinitely? And, where are we going to get the coal to keep manufacturing the power? Rhetorical question.
Due to the zombie minions of libs and lib lovers in this country, we are in very serious trouble on almost every front, and power generation is certainly not the least among these.
The Tesla “problem” is a very small pimple on our nation’s acne ridden face.
I can’t figure out what you are talking about with this remark: “But in the end, I suppose we the taxpayers actually ARE subsidizing the powering of the batteries because Tesla will only pass along the increase to the government.”
What? How?
And this: “So, Tesla owners believe the free power will go on indefinitely?
Yes, they do, and that’s Tesla’s business plan. Of course, if Tesla goes bankrupt, then all bets are off. But so far at least, it’s going to plan. They are so confident that they are going to continue this sales point with the new Model X.
And “we” are not manufacturing the power, Tesla is, at least for its proprietary charging stations. If you charge up at home, then obviously the owner will pay for the metered power.
As for the general problem of electrical power generation in the face of the zombie left hell bent on taking us back to the dark ages, that’s a problem that far eclipses the use of power by a handful of automobiles.
