Ford Mustang Mach-E - Really? I have nothing against electric. Leave the gas for boats and planes. I hope one day i'm charging my car to go do work from a battery charged by the sun beating on my roof. But don't call it a Mustang dammit, I have a mustang and it's a 1967 convertible cruising beauty. It's not an SUV. You just copied and pasted something out of context, so I'm not sure what your point is? Au contraire, If you are unable to see the point, c'est la vie. Last edited by aubv; 11-14-2019 at 02:52 PM. The 97,000 vehicles Tesla delivered last quarter alone, and the nearly 900,000 since inception, would beg to differ with your underlying point. 97,000 as a percentage of overall cars sold last quarter is roughly about the same as visionary Preston Tucker sold in 1948. BTW, I would like to know where that 97,000 data came from.

I read that Q3 Tesla sales were a measly 54,700, down BTW from the previous year. I suspect Tesla and Musk will go down about like Tucker and his cars did. My position is that unless the government makes it mandatory to buy one or mandatory that companies build them and then give tax credits then no one would want one. Maybe Im just not a huge fan of hypocritical politicians peddling fake science to dictate my transportation preferences. I have nothing against electric. Leave the gas for boats and planes.

I dont think the people who mandate you owning an electric vehicle out of necessity to save the world are gonna be to keen on you flying around or boating for leisure. And what will happen to the price of electricity as demand rises at an unprecedented rate.

My electric supplier already rewards me for allowing them to shut off my air conditioner in the summer and my electric water heater in the winter during periods of high demand. If they're having a hard time meeting current (pun intended) demand now , what lies ahead? Especially since hydroelectric power plants are being taken off of the grid and 22 aging nuclear power plants have licenses that will expire before 2030 (unless current licenses are extended) and very few new nuclear plants are under construction. Gas autos will be history soon. Might as well hope their Electric Mustang captures buyers 聟. You think when gas goes to 1.00 a gal, people will buy electric, battery fire, Pollyanna machines?

Also, note that hydro and nuclear are the CHEAPEST forms of energy generation out there by far. Gas comes close when the gas prices are depressed, but those costs can change quickly whenever international "events" cause concern in the hydrocarbon industry. If all the cheap power is already being used, and we can't use those technologies to add more capacity, what does that mean for electrical rates when we have to add capacity? And without the competition with other energy forms, and a reliance on the whole transportation system for power, what do you think will happen to the average price of electricity?
