RE: It's Confirmed: Without Government Subsidies, Tesla Sales Implode

in #news8 years ago

I wonder, how is it possible that a combustion engine takes less to produce than an electrical motor which has infinitely less parts, it doesn't require a transmission and can even be consolidated into the wheels making much more room for storage/passengers... O yeah, because Oil is the Only way, and Tesla is a nice alternative, good luck with rationalizing why electrical engines aren't built straight into the wheels..

Sort:  

I still wonder why we don't have gas vapor engines that get 100 miles to the gallon and no smell from the exhaust pipe because 100% of the fuel is being combusted in the engine.

I want to see you run one of those nice electric engines on wheels without a battery (which last 5 years), or without incredible amounts of technology (programing, self driving, AI) that is where the subsidies are going , and also electricity generation, which by the way still has to be produced by coal. Not to mention the giga factory that he is still building.......
