  1. GM may very well not be around in ten years. Hard to believer but their are major indicators. But many will feel loyal to a company that had to be forced to implement the most basic safety features on their cars and typically would rather go to court for deaths than spend a few dollars more per unit. This is almost the opposite of Tesla's modus operendi, and thus Tesla are the safest cars sold in America, with the most American parts and labor, and the highest customer loyalty. Also the best selling car in the world including ICE.

  2. I guess using the CSE to directly run a turbine or sterling engine or something, that runs a generator and just using battery storage is too simple. You could just calibrate the energy needed for the turbine by the number of mirrors you install, and increase or decrease it during the day by turning mirrors in and out of focus. Get rid of the salt, plumbing, storage tanks, and other complexities.

  3. If you believe mass media in anything regarding Tesla you probably believe a lie.

  4. Tesla already dominates the charger networks, by so far that there is no real comparison. Tesla is doing it's competitors, one of whom lied about the EV landscape repeatedly in interviews and would not even say Tesla's name, a big favor. If you knew anything at all you would know that Tesla has a stated mission that it has adhered to and that mission is to accelerate the change over to renewable energy. Your petty concerns are unfounded and a result of media FUD and hater nonsense.

  5. EA was started with money from VW group as part of fine they had to pay for planned and executed felony cheating on emissions tests. They rigged the car computers to report lower emissions and circumvent US law. How could you expect any system that was initiated as a part of punishment to work? Tesla's system works. Your concern is irrelevant and smacks of a Teslsa hater, like a union shill, or a dealership owner/investor, big oil -- take your pick, they continuously flood the media with lies about Tesla or concerns that are meaningless like yours. Tesla has paid back every dollar the govenment granted it with interest Less than four years after borrowing $465 million from the government, Tesla has become the first automaker to repay its loan under the Energy Department's Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing program. GM only appeared to pay back its bailout loan. But the debt was only part of the automaker bailout package. Through the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Treasury gave GM $49.5 billion, most of which was converted into an ownership stake in the form of stock. Through this equity stake, the government still owns 61 percent of GM. That's why it is refferred to as Government Motors, a total rip off of the taxpayer, by repaying in stock that lost value in seconds, and has a very real chance of becoming worthless in the coming decade.

  6. How long will it take the diehard antiTesla clowns to realize that Tesla does everything, from the Form Follows Function design to the smallest detail, better than anyone else, except for perhaps the small OEMs of multi million dollar cars. And by the time that the old guard "catches up" Tesla is further ahead than before.

  7. If someone buys a Bolt instead of a Tesla it is a sure sign that they failed to adequately research the respective vehicles and to actually understand what really sets them apart.

  8. Increased complexity is not the way to go. BEV is the way. One moving part. One system. Hybrids are stupid, less efficient and less reliable.
