Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Muskrat probably is happy he supported Trump.

Tesla up 5% today. Up 30% this month.

Elons net worth grew by 15 billion. Just TODAY.

He FOR SURE is happy he supported Trump.

Those ev makers were potential Tesla competitors. If you are getting funding to make an EV jeep, once you are making the product, it's easy to start marketing it to consumers like Hummer.

Yes! Now Florida can be wiped from the map.

But what will Elon do with all those soybertrucks?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

He probably won't. This will probably manifest as they're only allowed to buy American.

Well done, future expensive-and-shit-military-haver.

A side note: the M1A2 is already a hybrid electric vehicle. :) The fuel economy is just very, very bad.

Playing both sides here so he can win either way.

I propose that the media in general will see to it that in the coming four years actions of the Trump admin only be considered newsworthy if they aren't stupid, self enriching acts of prostrating the country to the whims of big business and foreign dictators.

Everything else is to be expected

Does that mean we're going to spend all that extra money on trains?

This requires Congress to agree with him.

Which they will, same party has control of the house and senate as well.

A bare majority. Not enough to do anything useful.
