Tesla's "open patents" require one to reciprocate in kind. Your patents are opened to Tesla. Linux's copyleft does not infect applications written to run on Linux.

That proves it! EVs are HORRIBLE! Either that, or Stellantis makes junk.

I'm old enough to remember GM's bankruptcy and Obama's bailout of. Of the bondholders who were illegally shorted to make the UAW's pension whole. One doesn't go bankrupt making a profit.

DIdn't affect Tesla last time they lost the tax credit.

I don't understand your reply at all. Qualify for what? What leadtime? Car was on the lot, I made my deposit to reserve, then arranged full payment, and selected the day I wanted to pick it up.

There are EVSEs (that is the thing you use to make the connection to 240VAC) which are smart enough to "share the load". Get a compatible pair then you can tell them to limit the total load to perhaps 40A, even put both on the same circuit. If one car needs charge then it can have the full...

The only hope for a discount is to find the car you want in "inventory". Nearest Tesla dealer to me is 90 miles but I bought from 200 miles because they had my car "in inventory" with a $3500 discount. Same car 90 miles away was full price. My car wasn't a month or two old.

So? Most of us are stiffed with an annual "EV Fee" far in excess of the state gas tax to make up for the Federal part as well.

I wish we had "computer" lanes around here! 😇

Ditto. So if the Armchair Intellectual Bureaucrat wishes to try to write a "fair" formula for taxation then tire pressure would be an important criteria. Semi trucks running 90 PSI taxed hard. 70 series tires on SUVs at 32 PSI taxed lightest.

Clearly your next car needs to be a Tesla Model Y Long Range!

You want to invent a road use tax which applies evenly to EV and ICE? Tax the tires.

A screen shot protecting the source. You failed Remedial Debate. Not only that you failed to understand your screenshot says exactly the opposite of what you claim it to say. It simply says oil producers get tax deductions for their expenditures in the production of gas and oil. Every business...

Yes, facts matter. So where are these subsidies for gasoline and ethanol? Apparently there are "lots of them" so it should be easy to enumerate a few.

Noise. Pepsi vs Coke swings 15% all the time.

Citation please. Where in the tax code is gasoline subsidized? You said you know this, I'd like to know also too.

No, oil exploration is not "heavily subsidized". As with any other industry the funds one spends to make money are allowed as tax deductions. Costs a lot of money to explore, lease, and drill a well, and sometimes it doesn't work. That is a valid cost of doing business. "Tax deduction" means...

You seem to have little comprehension of market trends? 15% up or down is a routine market swing. Just as the weather is continuously changing.

Our Enlightened Globalist "Leaders" gifted this market to the poor impoverished 3rd world in the mistaken belief they would industrialize, modernize, and pull themselves up with their bootstraps. What happened is China moved in and enslaved the production. Once Upon A Time the USA was the...

I have paid $200/year to Alabama for years, recently increased to $203. Is 2-3x what I would pay in state gas tax so it is more than making up for Federal kickbacks. Stupid to send tax revenue to D.C. only to have bureaucrats there decide how to give it back to the states.
