The problem with EVs are two-fold:

1 - Government subsidies.

2 - Over-promising.

As long as government helps pay for them, they aren’t competitive. No objection to electric being used WHERE IT CAN COMPETE, and letting

And it DOES face huge technological challenges. It may be possible to overcome those challenges and it is fine for companies to spend their own money (and maybe be subsidized) looking for ways to do so...but we’re not close to being there yet.

“As long as government helps pay for them, they aren’t competitive”

Like our agriculture industry..the finest, most productive food production system in the world?

Did you see the link where the US govt is giving $52 billion to chip manufacturers in the US to get the industry up and running?

Oil co’s get 20+ billion in subsidies every year in the US

btw I believe Tesla no longer has gov’t subsidies on it’s cars because they make too many.

You are thinking General Motors and Ford

Tesla is different. Tesla already has the largest market share and the cars produced in it’s new Texas factory will obsolete everything you mentioned. The Texas cars will be available very soon.

The new teslas are revolutionary and market disrupting........ all over the world
