  1. One reply here…. “ But our Tesla 3 only weights “. There is always some Joneses wanting to justify and defend their buying decision. Now, under the same lenses , public transportation is a fine concept , but trains will ride empty , just as buses in cities ride nearly empty and transit authorities lose money, year in and out. What is missing here…. 1. Public transportation is not capilar, is not a door to door route. Not that all convenient , specially if you live in a sprawling burb. 2. The pathetic Tesla owner has the same consumeristic urge as an ICE vehicle buyer. They want their set of wheels. They want to load stuff they just bought on the trunk. They want to go from A to B at a drop of a hat. Not bound by scheduled train timetables. And certainly not wait for a ride. 3. Time is.precious , except for kids and retirees. They have all the time in the world. For the rest of our mortal urbanites and suburbanites , time is money. If you want to have people to maintain their existing lifestyle , then a compromise would be what the Japanese do. Maximize even more cars fuel efficiency. In Japan it means Kai Cars. Toyota tried this in the US and failed. It was the Scion line. They brought cars with zero appeal and bigger engines. If you are going to risk failure, at least bring in the real package. Some people might embrace it , after all. They tiptoed , hence the fiasco.

  2.  @ShaggyRodgers420  the same people who will fund wars for mining land grab. Or do you thing they were fighting for the freedom of Afghsmnid at a two trillion dollars clip ? And all of that end run on carbon credits with satelite monitoring in Latin America by Elon and his PayPal mafia is for the “ betterment of the world “ ?

  3. ⁠ @sport2175  don’t assume electricity rates are going to be as affordable as they might .. Assuming critical mass adoption gets under way , utilities ( and by extension charge networks ) will increase rates to meet capex expansion demands. And not at generating. Transport capex cost eill eat up most of three earmarked spending. And less fossil fuel usage means a shrunk tax base. Whose shortfall will need to be made Itu elsewhere. They will get creative all right. Recycling fees on your electrical billing , taxes. And since you cannot simply do a fuel,station hop for a cheaper gallon , you will “ spread your cheeks “ soon or later. Give it time. It’s coming.
