They said buy an EV, it’s great. What they didn’t say is buy an EV and you WILL cut back your driving because they can’t handle the cold weather. They didn’t say the cost of battery replacement. They didn’t say what you need to do when there is no charging station. But, Joey and his greenies are pushing EV’s. Could there be any political contributor payback.

Tesla Producing at 10x the Speed of Nearest Rival
We see a video of a discussion talking about Tesla's production compared to the speed of its rival - about 10x faster. Tesla gave guidance to produce 1.8 million vehicles in 2023, which I consider to be sandbagging - meaning Tesla is basically already at that run rate right now. Elon Musk said he wanted to account for all the things that seem to go wrong each year. But, I think Tesla will get close to 2 million vehicles or more delivered in 2023. Tesla has an eventual goal to get to 20 million vehicles per year.
