There's a mall in my town that's rather high end...mainly because the town is surrounded by very wealthy towns.A "Lucid" dealership has recently opened up there and for a while they had a display of several vehicles in the "town square" part of the mall.

On the many occasions that I passed by this display (I go there regularly to walk and shop) I only saw one person talking to a salesman. And the same does for the Tesla dealership that's been there for a couple of years.

It seems as if not even the nation's affluent are beating down the doors of EV sellers.

“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984

A government ban will just end up killing domestic car manufacturing.

Can you imagine if we didn’t have car manufacturing when it came time to build up for the war back in the late 1930s?

What a load of crap

Tesla is the reason the market is in panic. No company can compete with the Tesla disruption.

Banning cars would suit them just fine, especially after microchips become unavailable because China has invaded Taiwan.

My idea is to put a windmill right on the car. I figure, if you are doing 60, that ol' windmill would be cranking out the kilowatts....

Automobiles represent independence, freedom of movement.EVs control those two things, therefore authoritarians must control the auto industry.

$81,000 dollars for an electric truck OMG who the hell can afford that?? That is more than a mortgage used to be for something that does nothing but depreciate, at least with a mortgage it went up in value!!

Back then I loaded up on incandescent bulbs. I thought I had a 20-year supply. I’m now down to my last several. :-(

What’s left out is that Tesla is making over 20% per car, and building factories from scratch. This just show how disfunctional traditional manufactures are. They have outsourced everything and cars are TOO EXPENSIVE.

Yup, power is intoxicating.

And control movement.

The time will come when if you want to move, you will have to get permission to do so.
