I’m not sure. Clearly an overwhelming majority of conservatives are more than happy to stay behind a reckless stone cold loser and a party that has fully embraced a path to autocracy. The best bet is to just keep putting their extremism on full display to chip away the party’s support. Watching the likes of Gym Jordan show their lunacy in front of a national audience help turn the notch up on the urgency of Ds coming out to vote.

Meant to add that it’s critical for Ds to be and remain on the offense on all these issues. So far into Biden’s presidency the party seems a bit relaxed to me. Trump didn’t go away so I don’t understand why they are not hammering him constantly still. Keep it known to the whole country that he’s still the top threat and that the GQP worships him.

Tesla has already made a lot of dough for me.

Investors think Tesla is worth more than Toyota, Volkswagen, and GM combined. Those investors are wrong. In five years, Tesla will be worth five times its value today. And the legacy auto makes will lose half their value.

Gas cars are toast. And the legacy autos are way behind in their quest to make EV's.

When Tesla delivers its $25,000 model, the game is over. I believe that will happen in late 2023.

You’re exactly the sucker Elon created this model for. 😂😂😂🦤🎣🦤💰💰💰💰🎣🎣🎣 you’ll pay for that car multiple times. 😂😂😂 and whatever you do don’t get in an accident. The repair costs are outrageous. . 💰💰💰💰

All those examples are two to three years old. I guess the problem with slow repairs has been fixed now.

It might have something to do with the fact that Tesla makes a lot more cars now and parts are more plentiful. They made less than 250,000 cars in 2018. This year they are expected to make close to 1 million.

If I'm in an accident, I can easily afford the repairs because I've made so much money on TSLA stock.

And for most repairs, Tesla just comes to my house and fixes it in the driveway. For gas cars, you have to waste hours and hours of your time sitting in a filthy waiting room at the dealership.

News of the markets' tanking yesterday helped me realize that there are substantial numbers of Americans who--because of the party currently holding the White House and majorities in Congress--simply *don't want* the economy to recover; *don't want* Covid-19 under control in this country; *don't want* America to return to something resembling normality.

Until the 2022 and/or 2024 elections are past, those people *do want* a hiccuping economy with long-term inflation; *do want* to be able to say that more Americans died of Covid on Biden's watch than on Trump's; *do want* a large portion of the population to be frustrated and angry. And if the price of that is misery for millions and death for thousands? Well, you can't make an omelet without cracking an egg or two amirite?

So, sure, they'll continue to foster vaccine skepticism/resistance--though many have quietly been vaccinated themselves--because they see that as the surest route to getting the things they want. The sheer meanspiritedness of such a cynical attitude is breathtaking, but hardly a surprise: The current GOP has fostered and rewarded that meanspiritedness, that wishing others ill, for decades now. But it makes me sad.

What do you mean "for most repairs, Tesla comes to your house and fixes it in the driveway?" In 17 years, about 260,000 miles I have had 2 repairs totally about $500. Yes, $500 for 2 repairs in 17 years. Yet, you talk about "most" repairs. How many repairs does your Tesla need? It iseems like it is a piece of junk.

Times have indeed changed, Gramps. And certainly started to, long before DJT had a dream of running for POTUS.

Putin's Mitch wants one thing: to return to running the Senate. Period. If a million (other) Americans have to die from Covid for him to accomplish that, well, it's a price he's willing to pay.

As I pointed out earlier, Consumer Reports surveys prove that EV's have less than half the cost for maintenance and repairs of gas cars.

There is huge money in gas car repairs. That's how the dealerships make most of their money.

It's also one reason why Tesla doesn't have dealerships. In the rare case that you need a repair, they can usually come to your house and fix it. Tesla makes its money selling cars instead of ripping you off on service. The service division at Tesla operates at a loss. The cars just don't need repairs enough to turn a profit.
