Texas gives subsidies for hybrids?
Since when?
And under what laws?

Powerwalls? Battery backups that store, around a day or two of electricity. If you can afford one.

Because everyone has that kind of money floating around. Nothing like dropping $10-20k on some backup batteries you can make yourself with some marine batteries.

Yes, Powerwalls, which proved pretty useful during hurricane Ian as electricity backups as the mains power supplies were cut by the hurricane and usually help even out electricity supplies in normal times when there are no hurricanes..
Of course not everyone can afford them, but Tesla is helping even out power supplies for those who can, and the price is much lower than it used to be.

Tesla Powerwalls save the day during Hurricane Ian

WOW!!!!!!!!

You’ve converted me into a mindless Musk-ite.

What about all the EVs that are useless now? What are the insurance companies going to do in the future knowing they could be on the hook for all those battery replacements.

And again, the Powerwall is nothing but the lithium, rechargeable version of some guy living off-grid with some solar panels and an array of deep cycle marine batteries. Nothing fancy about it.

WRONG!
None of the videos/examples I gave you are living off grid.

Which EVs are those?
And where are they at?
Are they Tesla's or not?

Since Tesla is increasingly offering their own excellent insurance on their own cars at usually better rates, that question is moot isn't it?

Answer the question—how many of these vehicles were bought by federal, state or local authorities—or private entities under duress from those authorities?

The electric vehicle “market” is a variation on the North Korean “market”.

Answer the question—

Now why would I?
You have internet search as well, no?

how many of these vehicles were bought by federal, state or local authorities—or private entities under duress from those authorities?

Off the top of my head very few.
Tesla has a very long waiting list for their cars stretching up to a year for some models. And they don;t even advertise their cars.
Feel free to look at the Tesla site yourself.

I didn’t say they were. I said that the Powerwall is nothing but a dressed up battery backup, using big lithium rechargeable batteries, just like the folks living off grid that use deep cycle marine batteries.

All Musk did was church up a system and process that has been in use for decades. Markets it and sells it to rubes like you for thousands, when the same thing can be done quite a bit less.

Uhhh...because I don’t feel the need to, for one.

I’m not an Elon Musk sycophant for another who would love to show up at all the parties and brag that I have a Powerwall, while all the serfs have nothing.

I read a while back on here that Musk actually pays folks to get on forums like this and do their level best to promote and defend his products. Are you one of those people?

None of which answers your “What about all the EVs that are useless now?” rant about Tesla's.

Those who can't just foam at the mouth instead.
