Tesla and SpaceX Businessman Elon Musk has announced that he'll be taking a solo run out in the park today. He plans to stretch beforehand, and hydrate himself during.
 
Someone has been on a long drive in the garage again....Sadly, the garage door was down again.
 
- the mostly rhetoric-powered trysail.
But he's unfortunately (and rarely) correct in USA or China. In France it would be the mostly nuclear-powered Tesla. In Florida it would be mostly fart-powered.
 


The real problem with Tesla cars is that no one actually buys them. Well, not directly. Their manufacture is heavily subsidized — and their sale is heavily subsidized. Tesla does not make money by selling cars, either. It makes money by selling “carbon credits” to real car companies that make functionally and economically viable vehicles that can and do sell on the merits — but which are not “zero emissions” vehicles. It is estimated that Musk’s various ventures — including his new SolarCity solar panel operation and SpaceX — have cost taxpayers at least $4.9 billion, with Tesla accounting for about half of that dole.

This carbon credit crap has to go, along with the wealth redistribution scheme called global warming.
