BULLSHIT, a little factoids for ya

Musk nor Tesla has ever earned a DIME profit. They are heavily subsidized by the gobt and get their money from stupid investors.

My favorite argument is "up here" which is FAR from the coldest area of the country, but it does get fairly cool up here, and hot enough in the spring summer that most anybody wants AC in their vehicles.

So you trapse out to the frozen Tesla when it's anywhere say, -15F to 32 F and DARK and there's SNOW on the ground which takes a lot more power, and you drive to work and (in my old days) this could be a ways, NOW it's still about 7 miles. You need the radio, lights, heater, defroster. REALLY?

Now let's scale that up into a large freight hauler

REALLY? Are you freekin serious?

I’m not a Tesla motors fan by any means, however...I believe the batteries are heated and cooled to maintain optimal temp, even when theyre not loaded. The heater/defrost would be almost instant hot. There isn’t any full-time engine driven accessories like every combustion engine has. Everything is on-demand.

But any electric vehicle is limited to recharge station availability, scarce and expensive maintenance costs, exclusivity, unproven reliability, etc. And it still runs on coal.

I’m my opinion, a Tesla is just a doctor killer. Just like the Beechcraft Bonanza (killed Buddy Holley, Ritchie V?? And multiple others) Expensive, high performance, and much different to drive than a conventional car (Richard Hammond from Top Gear blamed a lack farmiliarity with the steering and torque vectoring system of the electric vehicle, also, a lack of engine noise to “feel” the car)
