Hagar fans untie!

So you did see the crowds, lots of people at/ near their cars, the flags for a big event… Don’t be an ass here because of one stupid detail. And if you read her Tweet she even said there was an event.

Yeah I did twice. That’s where I saw the people literally camped in their car. And the crowds of people and the flags. Did you watch it?

People, here, on Twitter, everywhere. People love to vilify others and form righteous mobs based on little to no evidence. There were flags. People camping in their cars and pretty clearly a big crowd. It clearly wasn’t a normal Tuesday afternoon.

Absolutely!! I don’t think this is. Bunch of AH looking to piss off EV owners. It’s. Bunch of people who showed up for an event and needed a parking place.

I think people need to keep the context in mind. This was an event, very possibly a grand opening. Looked like one person had camped in their car like retail nuts often do to save a buck. Maybe you think putting on a big event only to end up with pictures on the front page of the local paper...

Sure. But if I own a business and I’m holding a big event, I’m not towing cars or passing out fines. It’s just bad business. From the looks of the flags up, very possibly an opening event.

I’m not suggesting it is ok. Just pointing out it is inevitable and that the stores have zero motivation to enforce this. Don’t put chargers in attractive parking areas. There is a reason Handicapped spaces are in the close up spots. There is no reason charger stalls should be close to the...

The top picture is at a Bucees. They call the people parked in the Supercharger “customers” and very few businesses want to tow customers vehicles, it cuts down on repeat visits.

Kind of inevitable when you commingle parking with charging. If the charging stalls are more convenient than parking or the lot is full, people will use the charging spaces to park. From the sound of it this was an opening event and quite busy. Don’t put chargers in the best parking spaces or...

CleanerWatt suggests GFT is producing 100,000 cells per day. Fremont is way ahead of this right now. That’s roughly 85 - 100 trucks worth per day. These numbers are a total swag on his part, but the numbers fit. In January Tesla said they had 1 line running, not clear if this is with all 4...

that post was total — inclauding Fremont which started first and had a huge head start. The 10m mark is for Texas only which had a much later start. Notice that part has 2 big groups of people where the more recent only has one?

It’s grifters. As in there are going to be a large number of chargers built and installed with the goal of collecting government funds and little else. We’ve already seen this happening, it’s a huge part of why non-Tesla EV chargers are crap. They aren’t reliable because reliability hasn’t Been...

Texas has only been producing cells for ~6 months.

They set guidelines in their own legislation. They should use that standard or set better guidelines. They’ve now set up this perverse scenario where they are very likely to be funding a charging network which only benefits grifters.

For sure. But does the government need to drop $4 billion to support the 200,000 or whatever CCS vehicles which are on the road? This is why I hate when government agencies pick winners. Now we’re likely stuck with this goofy dual standards for another 3-4 years which will ultimately leave...

Tesla doesn’t need the subsidies. Only thing frustrating about this is the waste of government money on a “standard” which is destined for the waste bin of history.

whitehouse did a bit of a “special interpretation” of their own legislation and has said funding is only available for CCS equipped chargers. This contradicts the actual wording of the measure. Not sure if they are just talking about “for the moment…” or making an administrative call on what...

In my book GM‘s projections about shipping volume and new products are just completely worthless. They’ve said they would have 20+ new EVs by this year. What we got is the Hummer shipping a handful of trucks, and a couple thousand LYRIQ. Every six months they move the goalposts a little and...

The way she said it, it sounded like she was suggesting it was beyond their control and that a profitable sub $40k was just not possible until then. Which clearly isn’t the case.
