CA bans gas vehicles

Anywho… that wasn’t my point anyway. Just wanted to point out that the video in that tweet was 3 years old.

Damn near the Dark Ages, isn’t it?

What is the percentage of electric vehicles in California today?

I found data from Oct 2020 that says then EVs were 1.2% of all registered vehicles. So let’s assume it has doubled since then to 3%

BraveGear:

Now, add your 200+ charging stations.

Not sure what you mean. That 200 is Tesla only chargers.

BraveGear:

Now, imagine that nearly 100% of the vehicles are electric.

At this rate, We won’t be to even 30% by 2035.

BraveGear:

Now, contemplate how much of your life will be spent sitting in line to charge your vehicle while you are waiting for an available charging station.

For me? None really, I charge at home. Do you have a gas pump at home?

Not to interrupt this grievance by proxy fest… but that tweet was from Nov 2019.

Since then, Tesla has added over 200+ superchargers in California alone. 2000+ globally.

You can continue to grieve about the electric car you don’t have

Sure glad I haven’t gotten one yet because of this.

CATL Qilin Battery With 1000 Kilometer Range Coming In 2023 - CleanTechnica

CATL says its new Qirin battery has 13% more energy density than Tesla's 4680 cells and can go 1000 km without recharging.

Est. reading time: 2 minutes

1000 mile range, charge to 80% in ten minutes, will be in cars next year.

You do understand that not everyone lives in the Southwest and people that live in the North East often go for weeks without seeing the sun?

I have nothing against eclectic cars, they are great for those that they work for. However, mandating that everyone must have one and has no choice, reeks of totalitarian dictatorship with the purpose of making someone rich.

GA_LP · 2022-09-24T21:06:58.020Z

1000km, not miles. It’s roughly 621 miles. Still would be a massive improvement.

Oops my bad. Also has four times the surface area for thermal management.

That’s exactly what we have been saying all along. You can’t legislate technology.

When you build a better mousetrap the world will come knocking at your door. When people see electric cars are a better option they won’t have to be forced by government. Of course, cost is also a major factor, as is cheaper used cars for young people or those with limited means.

Tesla has not produced one kilowatt of electrical power in California, all they have done is open the tap.

Well that’s not entirely accurate. Ever heard of Tesla solar? I have it and a power wall.

Anywho… that wasn’t my point anyway. Just wanted to point out that the video in that tweet was 3 years old.

How many Tesla supercharging stations are powered with Tesla manufactured solar panels?

Don’t need to. When I need gas, I take five minutes to stop at the gas station and fill up.

What are you going to do when the California power grid can’t keep up with the demand caused by you “home chargers”?

You said Tesla hasn’t produced one kilowatt. I told you they do, in fact, produce at least one kilowatt.

Has nothing to do with their superchargers

Okay, technically you are correct. Tesla manufacturers solar panels. What have they done to improve the capacity of the grid?

Sold a bunch of power walls that can allow residential users to time shift their grid usage.
