And you are unaware of how much we are being taxed to encourage production of useless electric cars?
Our taxes are financing much of Tesla plant construction. No one would be crazy enough to build an electric car if there were not massive tax incentives too.
Please put your head back on before further posting!
Yes I am. Those taxes, that meddling in the market, is wrong.
Still adding even more taxes is NOT a solution to too many taxes.
The Tesla plant was the old NUMMI plant, it wasn't new construction. I'd be willing to bet a lot of the old car manufacturing machines and tooling were re-purposed at pennies on the dollar.
When the time comes to build locomotives, people will build locomotives.
It is nearly time to build electric cars, not as a total replacement for fossil fuel cars, but as a very useful and appropriate means of local transportation in many niche applications.
In a free market we'd have our electric cars within the decade. Nearly all the technical puzzle pieces are in place, and the remaining piece, the need for smaller vehicles for short commutes, moderate surface street speeds, and local shopping runs is growing with re-urbanization.
Where’d ya go?
I wanted to discuss something.
