Conservatives and the Tesla

12-03-2016, 01:44 PM

I can't figure out why they are not behind this car. We could end our dependence on foreign oil and do it with a US made car.

I,get the range anxiety but based on all the pluses this seems a good bet.

They are against for 2 reasons: They are stupid, and big oil pays them to be.

BTW, Range Anxiety isn't a think anymore. Tesla's get around 300 miles to a charge, and charge up to near-full in less than 30 minutes, at any of thousands of free charging stations across the US and Canada.

One reason. They are conservative, by definition it means they do not like novelties etc.

You can't figure out why conservatives, brainwashed by big oil, are not behind an electric powered car?

What a ridiculous statement. Any notion that I may have about you being a fairly intelligent and reasonable individual is gone.

Besides OP did not ask why they are against it. He asked why they are not behind it. There is a difference.

Conservatives are a special breed. They deny logic and fact but believe in fairy tales and failed ideologies.

In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

Social conservatives cannot afford electric automobiles; or,

Financial conservatives own oil stocks and electric automobiles are not in their self interest.

Hydrogen fuel cell automobiles and trucks is the long term bet ...

its seems like its you who needs to clarify. who or which conservatives have even taken a position on tesla?

the only moaning i've ever heard is telsas dependence on government handouts to stay in business. which to me is a nonsensical critique in light of the F 35 program.

a far better critique is having snobs sit on top of 10,000 lithium ion batteries & call it a safe vehicle. Sounds more like a death trap to me. good luck fixing those cars in a decade. how much will it cost to replace all those batteries???

then there is the source of all that electricity- is that really better than gas for the environment. nobody discusses that. or whether all the rare earth metals needed for the batteries is worth all that strip mining you libs oppose so much. & all this is being done just so libs can behave like holier than thou snobs, when theres still no proof of the teslas carbon saving...might be even worse than gas...

IMO.

Yet the same conservatrolls never whine about govt hand outs to big oil & gas. BTW yes there were many of you consertrolls whom bitched and moaned endlessly about Tesla. It's gone quiet on that front now because as we've all seen Tesla has proven themselves but a few years ago your little troll buddies like Robbie, mineistaken, ect..ect used to bitch and whine endlessly about it and tell us all how electric cars would never get anywhere . It was all just a ploy to steal tax payers money.. Wrong. Pretty much the only one of the local conservatrolls whom wasn't whining about Tesla 3 years ago was you JoushaMo..

Eventually electric cars will be the standard, and Tesla will be leading the way.

This is a massive shift in technology, economics, and society, and it will take time to take hold. The technology and the cost is just not there yet. Electric cars come with additional financial costs and technological hurdles.

For me.... I don't see the reasoning behind paying extra for a car that cannot get me from San Fran to Southern California in one charge. I am sure there are charging stations along the way, but why would I want to extend my trip by an hour or two pay more for doing it?

Also, we do not yet have solar at our house..... Installing solar at my house would cost $35k, and would cost more per month then my current power bill so there is little incentive for me to get an solar. So if I can't get solar.... What's the point in getting an electric car? I am either paying for power or paying for gas.

We are getting very close, but we aren't there yet.

Ok, I take it back.

But then again, look at what I am basing my opinion on. It's a well known fact that many republicans have been working hard to unplug EV's.

And then there is this tool:

To be fair, not all conservatives are like this, but I think most are.

I'm with you. We're getting really close, but we aren't there yet.

Solar panels are going up on houses around here, but the technology is changing super fast and the rules are weird and electricity is dirt-cheap where I live, so Solar doesn't make economic sense for me. I want it anyway (cuz, cool!) but I don't need it.

For me, San Fran to San Diego in a Tesla would be awesome. The trip is about 550 miles and would require only 1 stop and 30 minutes for a charge-up. How much gas that might be varies on the car of course, but price aside, electric would be so cool.
