That is absolutely false. Big corporations have power because of big government. If the laws are structured so that every business can fairly compete, big business will have competition that will keep them in check. And individuals, like you and me, will absolutely keep them in check with how...

Safety systems reduce our risk of injury and death. But they also make things less fun. Personally I like taking some risks, and doing some stupid things because it is fun. Exciting. If I want to be perfectly safe, I will wrap myself in bubble wrap and watch TV all day. I guess you want...

Small, limited government that has a simple and moral rule of law - that's the right formula. We used to have that formula. The problem is so many people have been brainwashed to think that big government can solve all our problems. The reality is big government is oppressive and the end result...

No, emphatically no. The free market should do it.

" Cal Am can charge us for water we did not use to make up for their lost revenue under the California Public Utilities Commission rules. " Who makes the rules? Government. Why is it getting more expensive to provide water? Could it be due to regulations and mismanagement by various levels of...

Government is a necessary evil. We need some. But the more we have, the less freedom we have. Free people choosing and making their own decisions provides better outcomes. Safety and pollution regulations drive up cost, hurting those who can least afford to buy food. I am not advocating...

I don't choose poison administered by autocrats where I have no choice and no alternative. Government is a monopoly. Freedom is better. Choice is better. Free people deciding on their own is better. Not perfect, but better than autocratic control. So I choose freedom and the negative...

When the government meddles, there are negative consequences. Always. It is almost impossible for the negative consequences to be less than the benefit the meddling provides. Sometimes the negative consequences are not immediately obvious, but they are always there. The small number of people...

It looks like a lot of people don't understand that residential electricity rates are typically a lot less than what the power companies charge DCFC stations. That's due to the high demand surcharges that are applied when pulling massive amounts of power in a short period of time. Maybe Tesla...

I am curious: who is a fan of this dash?

I agree with a lot of your points except I think there is more of a "free" market than you do. NA is able to keep OPEC in check because of the oil produced here. As demand drops and surpluses increase, prices will drop. As the price of a barrel of oil drops it will eventually get to that...

I think basic economic laws disagree with you. If you have more supply than demand, cost will go down, not up. If there are artificial costs placed on the production of petrol fuel, costs will go up, but as long as we have a somewhat free market, dropping demand will result in lower gasoline...

If you are right and I am wrong, I will come back here and admit it. I just have a hard time believing that something as large as the CT can be more efficient at highway speeds than my MME. I agree, my car is not as efficient as many other BEVs, especially Tesla models. But the CT is huge, and I...

If the CT gets 2 mi/kWh, it will need a 250 kWh battery to go 500 miles. My Mach-e GT gets about 2.4 mi/kWh at 79 mph on the highway, and I cannot imagine the CT doing better than that. In fact, 2 mi/kWh at 79 mph is also not likely. To me, highway range is most important. I really want to...

Or maybe Tesla plans to export the trucks.
