greenies don't like coal, oil,natural gas or nukes.gonna be a problem.
You are confusing yourself with reality...you see, your antiquated notions about using electricity and such are blinding you to the great benefits of being green. When pigs can fly and unicorn farts are generating power for the grid which will magically expand and modernize to meet the needs of the new generation it will be all swell. Of course, by that time you will have been killed and turned into compost as you refuse to deny logic and learned experiences. Then the next generation must figure it out.....God help them and I am agnostic......

Greenies are stupid. They all are way too quick to tell you about their degree in something that no one would voluntarily pay money for. The government hires them or passes regulations so business are forced to hire them. Nothing but a big mass of useless eaters growing like cancer. People with 80-90 IQs get college degrees now, talk about a waste of resources. Now you have not only an idiot, but an idiot with an attitude.
None of them have any idea of the extent of the machinery and infrastructure that makes their cushy little cubical "working", apartment dwelling lives of useless consumption possible

Over 20 years and still EV's are not 2% of the market. This thread has been running for almost three years now,.... when do you think your "future" will actually get here ?

Hmmm, what does it mean?
Tesla is a fake car company and is just blowing a bubble to enrich a certain few.

Tesla started in 2012 so about 6 years not 20.
From less than 15M in sales to over 21 Billion in sales, no car company
can compete. They are killing the European Luxury Market and the Model
3 will decimate GM and Ford.

It is not Tesla's fault that the auto industry is brain dead and their
products have no future. They are late to the party....

Ok. we'll go with 6 years for Tesla instead of over 20 for all EV's. So that makes it even a much smaller percentage of all the new vehicle market share - about 1 % according to online numbers.
And even with two years of declines in sales, Ford and GM each outsold Tesla by about a factor of ten, much less factoring in all the other new ICE vehicles sold.
That's not what I'd call "killing" anything. More like what the Red Chinese used to call a "paper tiger".

If I promised to jump of a building the next time I saw a Tesla, I would have a good long life.

I probably see at least one a day in the northeast. Wherever you find rich libs you can spot a Tesla but a lot more BMWs, Lexus, and Benz

I parked next to one with my Crown Vic a few months ago on purpose to show them what a real car looks like. I mostly wouldnt know one apart from any other except I read the name on it. Almost all new cars look the same to me except sport cars, like crap.
I do think the trucks will sell, at least until they start having problems. So strange looking and a lot cheaper than the others should help them sell. Time will tell.

Once again BB, you are going back 100 odd years and electric was around back then. Still no usable electric car due to the battery. And I have been to many cities with horses pulling chariots for rides. I am in horse country down here and I see horses every single day.
