Just hide them around the corner So you don't rain on Their non emission paradeThrow in a few Diesel Generators and BOOM.. Problem solved.
Only 1 out of 11 folks in the image actually turned their car off to reduce charging times.
I noticed that too, but figured they just ran out of juice.Only 1 out of 11 folks in the image actually turned their car off to reduce charging times.
Ship some homeless people there and let the panhandling begin.There must be a business opportunity in there somewhere.
LOL.Ship some homeless people there and let the panhandling begin.
I have never seen more than 2 cars at the new station in Baker.

“...but even its 40 stalls aren't enough to accommodate the increased demand, especially when all that simultaneous recharging lowers the speed for everyone.”
That must be in the fine print.
You can charge THIS FAST...as long as no one else is charging alongside you.
I didn’t realize it worked like that...no bueno.

08-11 is what made Tesla possible. It was the peak of the alternate fuels industry. My phone was ringing off the hook. Made my biggest deal ever with Navistar. And then... It all died. $35 oil kills these businesses. Tesla has a huge investor following that has kept them on top for sure. Emission regulations and subsidies (sorry) have indeed propped up all of these industries. The question is: "When will any of these products sustain themselves on market forces alone?" I think the Tesla beating starts there.I kind of find it ironic that for so many years especially back in 08-11 when gas was $5 a gallon how everyone was on the fuck OPEC and gas company train.
Now a company for the better part of a decade has made a hard run at offering another solution and people say fuck Tesla.
And before we go down the subsidy rabbit hole let’s keep a level playing field and factor in all of the subsidies tax payers pay for oil and other auto manufacturers.

There's a simple answer here....
1) Fuck OPEC for gouging people when they don't need too (shit ton of oil all over the globe).
2) Fuck Tesla for being holier than thou when really, they aren't doing ANYTHING to save the planet or lower fuel prices. They're just here to take advantage of the sheep and make money.
From across the street of that electric station at the diesel fuel station, I'd be laughing my ass off as I fill up with Diesel in 15 minutes while getting a snack and taking a leak. LOL
How's the solar panels at home going to charge the batteries at night?
Don't tell me about net metering, that is a market distortion that has no basis in how the electric grid works.
Those electrons have to come from some source when they are needed, not at 10am when no one is home.
Nobody is incentavising vehicle charging, only the purchase of the battery. Because it is all rainbows and puppy dogs when it comes to Green energy.
Oh they are for sure just another company out to make money.
But if you had a properly sized solar system at home and commuted less than 250 miles a day they are a pretty slick option.
They’ve made it financially achievable for the average upper class guy to have a gas station at home.
Tesla model 3 midrange model is right at 55k no incentive and sales tax included. Add in a larger solar system for 25k and you’re 80k OTD.
If you buy another Tesla you’re covered on the power requirement from your initial solar investment.
The average upper middle class CA homeowner does not need a F450 to pull the cigarette & toy hauler simultaneously while they have 6 mills and welders running at home. [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]
All while commuting 600 miles a day.

ExactlyJust wondering if those charging stations are powered by solar or wind.

I think they have one, plug share or something like thatSomeone needs to come up with an app like airbnb for home charging stations.

And then the power goes off. Lol. Sheep. Lots of them. Another way to control people and they are paying to do so.
Between my 55 gal drum of diesel and a 30 gallon tank. I can get pretty far away from California when they cut power to the grid. Just another inconvenient truth about electric cars.
