Again they think only in black and white terms. Right now EVs make perfect sense for SOME people, and long term when better tech is developed by Christians... er... scientists. Faith won't do it. They make good sense for others. Solar arrays are getting cheaper and cheaper AND easier and easier to install. For most families who have 2 cars and a solar array it makes great sense to have at least one EV. For the super rich families I used to work for, they almost all drive Teslas now. I remember in a super rich neighborhood, one home I was working on was having a lunch party, 6 cars in the driveway, all Teslas. For some people currently they don't make sense... loggers maybe. The chronically ignorant etc.

Eric, But all of the ones funded thru the IRA will. Those are the ones to watch closely, because they'll end up FUBAR thanks to federal funding. If Tesla saw a market opportunity to open up their walled garden without any urging from the feds, and if Tesla decided that doing so would end up profitable, then they will come up with a way to do it all on their own, and they will do it in the most efficient way possible. How do I know? Because Tesla is not too big to fail. On the other hand, anything that federal funds touches immediately becomes too big to fail. No one in the Brandon administration wants another Solyndra (whose former HQ, now part of Seagate, is still prominently visible on the I-680 here in the SF Bay Area). Tenchusatsu
