So let's start with the concept of subsidies. If you had real money in the market and understood tax law and subsidies, you'd know that Tesla gets fewer tax breaks than the big three. Peel back the layers a bit and you'd also realize that big oil gets the vast majority of those subsidies. THAT is where your tax dollars go. Tesla is a mere fraction of that.
That's why Musk made a plea this year to end ALL subsidies for Tesla and the big three. Why do you imagine this was denied, hmmm?
Big oil and the big three have spent huge amounts of money to label the Tesla as a "liberal" car and build a false agenda for it. This works great on middle Americans where education is poor. But the rest of us and the world as a whole is pretty stunned by the Tesla innovations that keep coming.
As an American who wouldn't be proud to see that Tesla, in just a few years, is building some of the best cars in the world?
As to the foolish comments about the ecological footprint, no, it's not worse than your Camaro. More importantly, this is important tech that is advancing very rapidly. It has a vastly superior development arc while ICE cars do not.
Sadly, many people can't think about anything but THEIR needs and what's happening TODAY. That's the kind of thinking that's damaging our planet. It's all about money. Even after Exxon's own research about global warming was leaked and they were forced to admit to it, denials still continue.
The Tesla may not be the future. There are other alternative fuels. But it's helping to pave the way.
In a short while we'll all be watching Demons bust the 10 second barrier, just like Hellcats busted the 11 second barrier. But that's no threat to a ZL1, because it's not designed to be a dragster.
LOL if you think the announced Tesla won't cremate our cars and exotics as well. A Tesla sedan RUNS away from my Hellcat. A purpose built Tesla sports car will be even better than Musk claims...and he knows it.
So hold onto your hats, kids. Times are changing.

Agreed...I'm an ex-old school hot rodder, now a modern hot rodder, and soon will be a future tech hot rodder.
Electric cars are murdering tracks were they show up...and their tech is in it's infancy.
Very cool though!
