Surprised no one is discussing the Cybertruck today.

Many of the subsidies for extractive energy industries are not available to other industries, and they are more than substantia . . .

Here's a better look at the subsidies given to energy producers (renewables get almost 7X fossil fuels):

More and more info coming out showing that EVs have a ways to go…

Hertz says it's selling 20,000 EVs, in part because they're too expensive to repair

The car-rental giant said higher repair costs contributed to its decision to cut the fleet by a third.

That's exactly what so many people have been trying to explain to these hard headed EV pushers!

Remember the old commercials- Hertz used to run on the “juice”…. I guess they decided to stick a knife- I meant fork in it…

Huh. Never knew.



Did he get in the car then exit it right away saying it didn't fit him?

Would have been seriously ironic if hertz had a bronco in that commercial!

Subsidies are we talking about about subsidies?

Basically when someone talks about the feasibility of EV’s I lean back on the best quote I ever heard- “ I can’t afford to have you save me any more money “

The solar business is worse than the Used car corner lot business also. 8.2kwh system here. I purchased the equipment and hired a electrician and did the installation with him in 2015. Tesla solar is probably the worst customer scam going. Junk surplus outdated equipment bought in bulk at auctions sold as high end quality solar equipment to unsuspecting customers.

“Manufacturers warranty? Oh we’ll fix anything that fails” ie the equipment is junk..

There are 4 houses in my neighborhood on their 2nd full solar system the first was Tesla and totally failed garbage after 7-10 yrs.

My 2015 system is 100% micro inverter system 25yr manufacturer warranty on the panels and inverters. Cost me 1/2 the price that Tesla and several “solar” companies quoted me in 2015. And why I skipped them and did it my self.

Solar industry will face a serious PR issue in the next few yrs as the garbage systems they sold fail and leave a large number of customers questioning the business and technology. If they knew they were sold clapped out garbage but paid for top of the line stuff it might be different but most buyers haven’t a clue what they have.

I get it, you have a hate ********** for Tesla solar. Again. I don’t have Tesla solar.

I think this was a Jag EV, but could apply to any EV. This right here is why you won’t see an EV in my garage.

Another hurdle to overcome- I know engineers will eventually, just not quite yet.

Chicago-area Tesla charging stations lined with dead cars in freezing cold: 'A bunch of dead robots out here'

Many Chicago-area Tesla owners were visibly frustrated on Monday after their electric vehicles failed to charge amid freezing temperatures.

I have a feeling there's gonna be a bunch of deals on the used market not long after this cold snap

I have a feeling there's gonna be a bunch of deals on the used market not long after this cold snap

The add will start with “Gently Used One Owner, Rarely Charged over 80%.”

The cost of batteries is predicted to drop by 40% in the next 2 years.
That will have a significant effect on the cost of new RVs and the selling price of second hand ones.
