2006 was about 100 years ago in common sense time

These morons are about to print 2 trillion dollars to built charging stations across the country for what percentage of car owners who actually own a battery driven car?

No one will buy electric vehicles if there is no infrastructure to support them.

It's not the federal government's responsibility to spend tax dollars on charging stations...

If it was lucrative,  private sector would be jumping at it but instead the gov has to subsidize it with tax dollars while trying to make the status quo ridiculously expensive in comparison to what it should be

And sadly it is more about politics and control than the nonsense that we can control the weather and thus the climate

The federal tax subsidy ran out after they manufactured 200,000 cars. The same for GM.

All loans have been paid back with interests. Oil companies receive billions in subsidies every year.

So do banks and insurance companies.

Will congress pass a law to subsidize BEV's again?  We shall see.

And Amtrak hasn't been profitable in 50 years but no one seems to care about those tax dollars being pissed away.

[Mano]

Tesla pays for their charging network with the sales of their cars.  No tax subsidies.

 

[Eagler]

Then why is it supported in the "human" infrastructure bill?

Sounds like uncle sam has its paws in it ..gotta kill fossil fuels at all costs lol

All for anything totally paid for by private companies and not tax dollars we have to print out of thin air to push through

Hi Vulcan <S>

I have had my Tesla for over 3 years now and nothing like that has ever happened. My wife, mom, and sister also have a Tesla. If a glitch with the phone app were to happen you simply use your key. It is like a credit card and you swipe it past a sensor near the drivers window when you want to get in. The touch screen is easy to use like
any smart phone.  All Tesla vehicles are connected to a cellular network/WiFi and  do regular updates automatically so any bug will get fixed in the next update. They are very fast
at fixing bugs.

When my son borrows my car I simply hand him the key. You do not need the phone app to operate the vehicle.

If you are shorting Tesla stock let us know how you did in the near future. Also, let us know how Michael Burry did.

Looks like most Teslas are low rated on Consumer Reports. Actual consumers reporting in.
