Pushed by startups hoping for tacit US government subsidy, nice use of words, national security and supply chain. USG didn’t fully bite.
The World’s Biggest Electric Vehicle Company Looks Nothing Like Tesla
BYD, which built the battery in your ’90s cellphone, now produces more EVs than anyone—and it wants to sell them to you, soon.

What happens to electric vehicles if AOC is wrong.
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.00165.pdf
Great, a non-peer-reviewed manuscript from the “University of Turku” (no not Turkey, “Turku”) claiming that everybody else is wrong. Six references cited…looks like a high shool science fair project.
Classic case of “don’t believe everything you read on the internet” but of course the climate change deniers will point to any evidence they can get.
Winter is coming
AOC will be proved wrong in 12 years. Just like idiots in the 70s were proved wrong in 2000. And Al Gore was proved wrong several times. Making predictions about the future is a fools game. The bigger the fool and the shorter the time frame gets one exposed as a liar and a false profit. The religious global warmer false profits have all been wrong so far. In 30 years I will be long gone. I think I should make a lot of 30 year predictions.
AOC will be back to bartending. Al Gore will go insane along with Bernie and Warren. Mainly because of Trumps reelection. Global warming scares will turn to global cooling. Electric cars will never react saturation. Self driving cars will still be experimental.
The problem is that global warming has been politicized so much that people treat it like a religion/identity rather than a science. AOC and Al Gore use it as an excuse to push their ulterior agendas, often in ways that are hypocritical. But at the end of the day global warming is about physics/thermodynamics rather than politics…and it is happening whether you like it or not, no matter how you try to spin it.
Sold my Tesla stock. Been reading more and more about Tesla’s repairs issues. Not worth the hassle. Will buy again at 180 just for shits and giggles. I am in DC, see very few Teslas. It’s a Ca thing, even though the EPA is here in DC and they have electric buses, scooters and EV cabs. Very clean in DC, very few homeless and litter. Lots of cops and SS. Tons of tourists from everywhere. Lots of MAGA hats.
That is the beauty of the climate change hoax, there is shred of truth like any good scam. The truthful shred is that global warming is real. True, earth warms and cools as we all know. The idea that humans currently change the Earth’s temperature significantly and quickly is nonsense. Undersea volcanoes and solar events are the heavyweights imo.
Climate change agenda is neo slavery 
, neo colonialism. Their aim is to control developing countries’ nat resources, rape and pillage via multinationals. They set up a governing body that decides what nat resource can be exploited by whom, etc, voiding local control handing resources to good ol boys.
On the other hand I agree that we need clean air, let’s not forget the Nazis allegedly did away with their undesirables by putting them in a room with doors and windows closed, piping in 
exhaust, so we know car exhaust is deadly (even if the effects are not immediate) and a poison we must get rid of asap if at all possible.

No one wants to talk about EVs now?
EVs are coming whether we like it or not.
Ahh, this make me not to choose model 3. If I get deep discounts, I will choose GM bolt. Let me wait for one more months, bolt will be deep discount !

Get the Bolt first. Drive for few years (or give to wife/partner/kid) and then upgrade to an updated S or X for yourself.
