Tesla didn’t so much pioneer the modern electric car as it did the modern electric car grift.

"It worked like this:
The people who constitute the federal government decreed that businesses that earn money via free exchange would either have to waste money complying with federal regulations obliging them to reduce their “emissions” of the dread inert gas carbon dioxide – as by manufacturing “zero emissions” EVs themselves – or pay Tesla for credits that could then be credited against their own “emissions” for not manufacturing EVs. Tesla being given credit for producing cars that don’t “emit” the dread inert gas carbon dioxide at the tailpipe but never mind the “emissions” emitted in the course of making them – and powering them.
In this way, Tesla got the government to finance its business while at the same time hobbling rival businesses. GM, Ford, Stellantis (the combine that owns Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Ram trucks) spent money financing Tesla, via the carbon credits they were essentially forced to buy from Tesla.
It’s the crony capitalist analog of the wasp that stings – and paralyzes its prey and then lays its egg on the victim, which remains alive while the baby wasp gradually consumes it, alive."
------------------------------------------------
If we participate, if we do not protest, if we do business buying the products that can't compete in a free market and accept the crumbs that government offers for our participation in the conspiracy, we are consenting to enslavement of our children and grandchildren for their entire lives.
Now is the time to STRIKE back against these cronies of government.
Bankrupt these b@$t@rd$ while we still can survive.

Tesla shouldn't get credits for having an electric car, and I don't like that they got subsidies and credits. I don't buy an EV because at the present they are just very inconvenient to operate. I notice the American companies are falling over themselves to copy tesla, but they are losing money on each EV they make. EV has been promoted by our government, which should have stayed out of promotion of EV altogether.
Morality is determined by what is acceptable by society at large.
You may persist to state that 1=2 but this is false.
One need not be a ruler to be a tyrant. The seeds are placed within anyone who believes themselves to be above natural law or superior to Reality. Neither kings, religious caliphates nor military dictators hold their positions out of moral justification and the Founding Fathers identified this fact by declaring that the only moral ruler is one who is elected by the people and that because people own themselves. The moment one declares morality to be determined by any given human being one simultaneously justifies any action taken by such a tyrant: murder, rape, theft, etc. There becomes nothing off limits. Any action can be justified if one can back it by coercion.
You may persist in this irrational line of thinking but as I said, you will walk that road alone. Adieu.
It looked like something that a very talented but inexperienced engineering college funded lab group would throw together in a rented store and lock. Big and clunky not terribly well thought out as far as layout. I will admit that I am clueless as to crashworthiness designs and crumple zones etc..
Tesla had no, ZERO, EV technology. The motors are crap, the drive and controls are totally conventional (arguably the controls are substandard which was another reason to use induction machines rather than vastly superior PM machines). The batteries were laptop batteries in giant packs.
Then they brought on a bunch of other stuff: self-driving, dog-mode, they actually got manufacturing engineering moving along (the first Model S was a disaster). Better chargers, etc. Still no fundamental EV technology.
This is the Soviet Model.”
And that’s why the Soviets had check points and papers required deep inside its borders. It had nothing to do with keeping the capitalists out of the “Workers Paradise” and had more to do with keeping the workers in close proximity to their assigned jobs. There will come a point where the demographics that are predisposed to not working will regret voting all of this in. Especially when the CBDCs start to have their desired effect. This period of relative lawlessness will be looked back upon fondly. They scream racism now…..just wait until the MSM narrative pendulum swings back.
If you want to argue that the system needs to be changed, I would whole heartedly agree with you.
The only people who assert changing morality and principles are tyrants seeking self-justification for immoral activities. As soon as one gives in to the misbegotten notion that morality can be determined by whomever currently wields the instruments of power one cedes sovereignty over one's own being and invites their own enslavement.
The guy is a grifter.
Morality is not determined by mankind. Legality is an invention of mankind. Societies which conform their legal statutes to match the morality of natural law are in harmony with Reality and can persist. Societies which attempt to legalize immoral behavior conflict with Reality and the consequences eventually bring down that civilization. Reality will always win in the long term.
The point is the morality is determined by society and changes over time, and while we all would like to deny this, it does. Up until 200 years ago it was perfectly moral to own slaves. Divorce or having a child out of wedlock was considered immoral until recently, and ALL of these alphabet sexualities/ genders were considered not just immoral or illegal but even mental illnesses. Personally I still believe that those are mental illnesses but that's not the discussion at this time. By and large legal does equal moral. Not necessarily right but yes moral.
That's a complete contradiction in terms. Something can not be "not right" and moral at the same time (A = !A). Again, you are confusing legal with moral. Legal changes - absolutely. Moral does not. Morals are absolute, universal, and unchanging. Legal is simply what a given government is willing to enforce.
