Model 3 is one of the best cars I’ve owned.
Eman says@HeadSet, I believe you meant 30 cents/kWh.
Nope, 30 cents per minute:
Then it really depends how fast it can charge. If it can give you 300 miles in an hour, then it’s not bad
Once you’ve owned one, let us know if it’s over-priced.
If Musk starts positively influencing twitter, especially in terms of platform free speech, the woke attacks on him will surge. I can see the "news" articles already:
"Should a billionaire who made their money making cars be able to use their money to buy influence over our democratic speech platforms?"
"Elon should stick to space"
"How Elon Musk is hindering and even reverting democratic progress"
"Why Elon Musk is problematic"
"Is Elon Musk racist? Ex-employees share their horror stories."
...
It's not green either. If you account for just the extraction of minerals for the lithium batteries, you've put more CO2 into the atmosphere for one battery than you would an ICE vehicle. That's before you've even charged it. Musk isn't a moron. He built a "cool" golf cart now that I'm researching batteries. I also don't trust Teslas safety. My wife and 3 kids were rear ended in our Sequoia. Totaled. It didn't look bad, but my kids and wife could literally be dead today if they drove a Tesla.
He's making money on EVs whose real purpose is to develop rovers for Moon and Mars.
The corrupt governments of the world will never countenance a self-sufficient (AKA politically independent) colony off the earth. To do so would invite the possibility that these independent colonies, if sufficiently provoked, would fight back by dropping rocks (with catastrophic results) on their earthbound tormentors.
This is the logic of psychopaths, or the logic of crabs in a bucket. In any case, we shall see how Musk et. al. are sabotaged once their technological infrastructure is capable of launching viable colonies.
They are over priced for sure.

People vote with their checkbook. The waiting list on the cars, up to over a year, suggests others don’t feel the same way.

Hopefully he uses this leverage to clean house of all the Commies and Groomers that run this site.
