Someone missed the joke...what else is called DOGE?

Tesla is profitable without regulatory credits, although this has not always been the case. Subsidies exist for nearly all industries, and not taking advantage of them would be stupid. If Tesla can make a profit building EV's, surely the legacy automakers can as well. You can throw shit at...

Does that include Tesla?

I thought you were the expert? You should know that the minimum peak sunlight is 3 hours in VT...and yes, you can harvest a lot of power in the winter. The more calendar days away from the minimum, the more energy you can harvest. He's a retired veteran who drives about 8 miles a day (to and...

You were not very good at it from what I can tell. I'm an EE, lived off grid for years, and help others do the same. In fact, today there is a guy in VT who owns a very old Nissan Leaf who has not spent a single dollar fueling his car in over 4 years. We built his system from a pallet of PV...

You cant refute what you don't understand.....the world needs ditch diggers to run conduit for my solar farm...you're safe.
