Quoted: "On Thursday morning, Biden signed an executive order setting a goal to make 50% of all new cars sold in 2030 zero-emission vehicles" Wait. There are still some here saying the government isn't doing this. No one will be forcing you to buy electric. View Quote Funny how some automakers announced this weeks/months ago. Some even pledging for full electric (no gas/diesel at all) by 2030 or 35. And I bet those same manufacturers know there is going to be followup legislation starting a sliding scale of banning older vehicles from the road. Being excited to retool basically everything and unlearn over 100 years of accumulated knowledge for new, not ready for mass market public consumption tech, there has gotta be something on the backend. Like a total removal of ICE powered vehicles from the road by 2040. Imagine having to turnover the ENTIRE automotive fleet in 10 years. Tons of money to be made. |

Quoted: Ahh, there it is! Good thing Lockheed , or Boeing, or United Space Alliance , or any other Gubermint contractor never took gobs of government money...

And trust me they all take advantage of it, but elons a grifter for taking advantage of that and doing it cheaper. |

Like who cares right. It doesn't matter tesla is a private business so it can do what it wants, no need to talk to government folks, right?

As I watched this play out today on TV I had this feeling that this
may be a turning point for Elon. Remember when Obama made fun of Trump and it turned Trump from basically non political to running for president. I don't believe this will turn Musk into a politician but I wouldn't want to piss him off. Right now I see him as a non political libratarian type. If the left pushes him too far he could move all of his operations to red states and put his money behind conservative candidates. |

Everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room.
Biden wants to make 50% of cars sold electric, but at the same time he is trying to cut out the only reliable sources of electricity generation. Sweet we all have electric cars but no electricity to charge them with. |

Quoted: Move to the city. Live in an apartment. Take public transport. Like other countries. I guess. Not sure what his end game is. View Quote When you make people dependent on something, like the government, said government has total control over those people. When you concentrate people, give them no area to get their own food (hunting/farming) you are now dependent on what the government controls you have. When you're dependent on them to provide your transportation, they control where you can go, and when you can go where they want you to go. Your family is hungry or cold because of government imposed rations? Well, you can't go out in your car and get firewood, or shoot an animal. It's all to control you, the hive mind is for real, and individualistic thought is easily squashed. |

The left is in bed with the union thugs and Musk doesn't want unions in his plants - that is why he wasn't invited.. That dickless coward in the WH is being played by everyone including wifey.

Tesla makes 500,000+ EVs in the USA, and has a monster factory in Texas being built designed to make 2,000,000 per year.
I Doubt GM, Ford and Stellantis (lol, stupidest fucking name ever) combined even produce 100k. The Ford Mach-E is made in Mexico using a Polish battery. The Model Y and 3 are currently the #1 and #3 most American-made cars you can buy. |
