The lead time for drastic vehicle changes in society is several decades.
Those into automotive history know ICE have more than 150 years of development. I find it odd that people in the greatest automotive nation are such Luddites regarding new tech.
Early electrics like Baker were successful in short haul routes but petrol was nearly free and fuel cost trumps all.
Fuel won't stay cheap, we just keep buying time, and Big Oil gives no fucks about individual countries.
Big Oil is a profoundly global, and globalist, industry. We fight wars to subsidize oil prices. Consider those oil wars also benefit the Jew.
Most of you aren't boomers and won't have lived through multiple oil price shocks, but don't fuck up and assume there won't be more. Electric and hybrid and wind and solar and other energy MICRO-SOLUTIONS will eventually lead to lessened dependence on the Muslim oil states. With lessened need for oil wars the Jew loses his strategic advantage in the Middle East.
Companies come and go, but tech moves on. IDGAF if they succeed or fail so long as technology improves.
Sup Forums is many things but all these "personality posts" make the posters look like housewives on Fecesbook.
Why care, at all, about Musk's personality or who he fucks or where the money comes from? Why is that more important than tech? Why care how he bought the tech he uses?
There's zero excuse for not focusing on the long game of technology development. IDGAF about a few missed deadlines when breaking new ground. Expecting easy success is fucking stupid. If it's easy, why aren't YOU doing it????
Sup Forumstards are often just angry for the sake of undifferentiated anger but that's no way to consider technology. I don't care about personally buying a Tesla. I do care about pushing the auto industry forward. I buy older vehicles once they are proven and as a mechanic that's a very comfy way to go. If you want comfy, learn to work on vehicles! It's something every man should be able to do.
