I doubt that we will see EV’s replace the heavy duty diesel trucks in our lifetime.

So yes, I am very glad you’re done arguing. Reading the stupid shit you were saying was getting old. I’m also sending this message from my iPhone while my car manages the gap in front of me as I drive with adaptive cruise, looking down while it keeps me in the lane. If it had full self driving capabilities, I would be using that as well. Guess what, not afraid of that either. But good try. |

Comparing Hollywood or Harvard of yesteryear to Elon/Tesla of today doesn't logically flow. The Hollywood/Harvard of today has earned any hate they get. What have you done for me lately vs what did you do 50-100 years ago...not the same. What has Telsa done? It allowed Elon to buy Twitter. We would have no proof of exactly how corrupt our gov't is if it weren't for Tesla and Elon. Neither Harvard nor Hollywood has ever contributed at that level. |

Just like Hollywood and Harvard have earned some of the hate they get, so has Tesla for plenty of reasonable reasons like overselling their ability, taking a vast amount of tax dollars, bursting into flames, having poor quality, and ugly looks. The fact that Musk bought Twitter doesn't change the validity of criticism. You may not like to read the criticism anymore because you have decided the purchase of Twitter has pulled everything Musk has done into the umbrella of, "our team" but that's not really a logical position. |

Not sure why...? Because EVs are awful, in EVERY FORM. Even if GIVEN one, I'd blow it up (in the kinetic sense), put the pieces in a large bucket and relocate it to a ditch, light it on fire, mold the remaining metal into a cube, and then relocate it to an Air Force bombing range so my boys could drop JDAMs on it until there was nothing left but liquified or aerosolized metal. F*** EVs. And F*** people whole like them. We will never be friends. |

Quality? Yep they need to improve. Plastic seats in a $100k car isn't cool. Burst into flames? Hyperbole. Has it happened, sure. Is it a regular occurance? No. Ugly looks? I think the Model S is a very good looking car as is the roadster that is about to come out. The 3 is not good, but which legacy car company hasn't produced an ugly model? Im sure you remember the Aztek Being critical is cool... having a weird and unnatural extreme hatred for a car b/c of its power source is just odd to me. All I am trying to do is bring perspective. |

If Tesla is to be looked at from a political perspective, it just makes more sense to place it in perspective of the left's push for electric cars than the free speech of the purchase of Twitter. |

Median household income via Google. California - 78k Arkansas - 49k Average housing cost California - 750k Arkansas - 195k Average Rent California - 1,837 Arkansas - 637 If you're a median earner, its way better to be in one of the "poor" states. The poverty level in CA for a family of 4 is right at 6 figures. |
