You still don’t realise you had a empire do you?

Fantastic hero’s will save you.

Are you bending the knee and wearing your mask?

Metals needed for new batteries and what to do with the mountains of old ones when they start going bad...

Don't forget about the uncontrollable fires accidents can cause..

And we will still have uncontrollable weather in varying climates as nothing will have changed there..

Hi Eagler

Good point. Tesla manufactures their own batteries whereas legacy carmakers do not. Tesla has the initiative to recycle all battery components because the batteries are a much better source of raw materials than ore from a mine and they do not want anything to end up in a landfill, plus they will eliminate some supply issues.

When legacy car makers begin to build battery plants they will find it is economically sound to recycle the batteries.

Coogan

The United States of America
The United Kingdom
The United Arab Emirates

“The Ukraine is part of the Russian sphere of influence”

Coogan has not read book without pictures because he watches movies to gain a world view.

Wolverine is not relevant for getting a world view

No you’re not and why I tried to bring it back on subject….alas certain people think they are being cool and edgy arguing about nonsense. Must be boring at their regular forum so the just have to come here and do what they do.

I have a buddy with the last badged roadrunner,really just a valiant but it has a “built”360 in it and claims it’s near 400 ponies. It’s a rare car these days,iirc it’s a 76 and most were crushed like most mid to late 70’s cars. It got a full restoration so the fit and finish is much better than what came out of the factory,I still see it as a valiant but the badging does say roadrunner.

Sort of like rebadging a nova to be a caddie…..

Looks like we are in a minority... That "Vallu" as they were called in Finland, is a real sleeper, it does not need badges.

Funniest sleeper ever had was -66 Coronet w/ tuned up 383 Magnum, 727 and 8¾. Had also pretty stiff suspension and went around corners better than many Europeans. Outside just wheels and exhaust tips might have betrayed what was lurking under the hood. Never had it on ¼-mile, but 0-100 km/h (62 mph) went under 6s and top speed was well over 200 kmh (125 mph) and at early 80s that was something. And it was smoothly idling 550 rpm and behaved as what ever daily driver when gas pedal was used gently. Best engine I ever managed to make.

Tesla now makes more profit than Ford or GM. Tesla sells direct. They do not wholesale their vehicles to dealers.

It is possible Tesla will have more profit than Ford and GM combined next year as their new factories ramp up production.

Yup...  the (not so) big three's original business plan to combat Tesla was to use their significant muscle via bought legislation to effectively outlaw Tesla's business model.  They paid state legislators to propose laws requiring not only physical showrooms, but mandatory floorspace as well required service service and shop space.   Obviously Musk and his practically endless supply of cash figured a way around that. 

Just who does this guy think he is sidestepping crony capitalism like that??
