I'm so relieved my $49k Tesla Model Y Long Range meets your approval.

Elon Musk has opposed EV grants, tax credits, and tax deductions from the very start. Those claiming Elon opposed the BBB due to deletion of EV tax credits are telling falsehoods.

Not at all. There is plenty of capacity at night to charge EVs. This produces easy revenue for the utility to finance construction and upgrades for daytime users. However The Fool Government thinks EV drivers need "infrastructure" in the form of DCFC stations on every street corner Just Like...

Most of the country, most of the year, has a surplus generating capacity at night which is the natural time for an EV to charge. When the utility can produce power the cheapest and sell at greater profit to be able to pay for construction and expansion of "the grid" the media is making big hay...

CCS networks. Federal government tried to create a competitive market but what they got was a bunch of Government Farmers (those whose crop is government favoritism) who did the minimum to get the government's handouts. Being perceived as a single make solution Tesla was excluded from this...

How about citing some of those videos?

Oh. I find no other the equal. I regularly beat the EPA range in my Model Y. In-car reports 237 Wh/mile for the past 13,500 miles. Nobody has anything to equal FSD (supervised). I can stand in front of Walmart and call my car from the parking lot to come pick me up.

I generated 1992.2 kWh in June. House still under construction so 1593 kWh was exported to the grid.

I hear Tesla also steals candy from babies.

You know your air compressor has a drain valve on the bottom to let water out?

The $40k to $50k range buys a very nice and capable Tesla these days. Its not a $20k Kia but $50k is the average new car off-the-lot price for all cars these days.

Can't hardly run a train profitably in the USA so who in their right mind would think the same geniuses currently running trains could invent anything new and make it work? Look at the gross mismanagement and budgeting of California's "high speed" train.

You realize Tesla is building exactly the same FSD/Autonomous hardware into the Tesla Semi? So, an autonomous truck arrives with your new car which then proceeds to unload itself.

In other words it was carrying low quality poorly engineered Chinese EVs. Not quality EVs. And the media doesn't bother looking past the point there were a few micro-EVs on board as that fits the desired narrative: EVs burn when shipped. Never mind the fuel oil.

Sometimes it is better than nothing. Speech to text works pretty good.

Is good to know that you know everything. "All it does is waste power." Hmm, so you are saying cooking a lithium battery does no harm? Trade a bit of replaceable power for irreplaceable heat damage to the battery? Good to know we should sacrifice the battery because kWh is more precious...

Why should it not? Just because you haven't happened across a Tesla cooling it's battery doesn't mean they don't do it.

Oh? Citations please? Tesla builds their own batteries. Tesla builds their own motors. Tesla builds their own charging network. Tesla builds their own seats in-house. Once Upon A Time Tesla purchased steering columns. Early models used same as older Mercedes-Benz. Buys suspension components...

My Model S 85 did it. Not talking about Cabin Heat Protection, that is something else. In a hot environment a Tesla will act to protect it's battery until the battery is depleted to 20%, then it will give up and hope for the best.

A Tesla in a hot parking lot will run it's cooling pumps and fans. I don't know how much that drains from the battery.
