You know it’s mathematically impossible for everyone who buys a new car this year to buy an EV.

I thought there was no charging issue. After all you can put a charging station anywhere with electricity, and a quick search tells me there are an equal number of EV charging stations and gas stations near me.

"Get the government involved" says Fat Hurts . Nothing but good happens when the government gets involved. Maybe Amtrack, USPS, IRS, DMV, or many other governmental agencies could oversee the charging issue The US goveernment could not even get a web site up and running for Obamacare (they had to call in a private firm) and Fat Hurts wants the government to oversee the implementation of correcting the charging issue Well done Fat Hurts!

I drive 180 miles sometimes. Do they have charging stations in Podunk, Texas? Does Goober from Andy Griffith know how to work a charging station?

And in 2019 for July, August and September Tesla outsold,

• BMW

• Daimler

• Mazda

• Volvo

and almost as many as

• Volkswagen

and

• 40% of what Honda sold

I was super surprised to read that VW beat out Honda Or Toyota for most sales last year (I hope I am not wrong on this). Nobody buys VWs in the states I thought but I think VWmay own Audi .

Yes I do.. do you know when to use "less" and when to use "fewer?"

Are you sure about that?

Even Tesla, easily the leader in the category, was only able to eke out a first-quarter profit by selling energy credits and bitcoin.

I didn't say there was no charging issue. I said it's easy to solve. And government should be a huge part of the solution.

Again, their profit margin on autos, even without regulatory credits and Bitcoin, is 22%. And that profit margin continues to grow as they build more factories and reach economies of scale.

Tesla is hugely profitable now and they will be even more so in the future. That's why I've made a bundle on Tesla stock.

Wall Street keeps upping its estimate of GDP growth in the US.

Good for the US, good for the Dems.

Although these things are so partisan the Rs will claim they are worse off than a year ago.

Because you know Disney and wokeness.
