Washington states electricity source is already over 85% renewable so the remaining 15% could be achieved with mostly wind power. Maybe some Geothermal.
No wonder you posted as Anonymous. That is a particularly ignorant and asinine thing to say. Completely bogus. EV's do have a higher manufacturing CO2 footprint, but their operating savings even when electricity comes from primarily "dirty" sources breaks even within 3-4 years and it's net savings for every year after that. California's grid is about 35% renewables, the rest natural gas and grid exchange power from the Pacific Northwest (which is over 80% renewables). So it's already much cleaner than much of America.
Face it, fossil fuels will be a thing of the past in a very few years.
There is already a published Siri shortcut called "I am being pulled over by the police" which performs a number of actions to record your interaction with the police including notifying contacts and even publish the video.
I imagine that one of the options could be to disable faceID or touchID.
Someone should write one that's like: "Hey Siri, BUG OUT!!!" which would promptly erase the phone.
The starting wage at a Regional Carrier has been about $24-30K with few benefits and crazy schedules. Many need food stamps or other living assistance to make ends meet. Now they are trying to pay incentives because of the severe shortage but the airline industry failed to maintain a sustainable pipeline of talent because of its austerity in the past 20 years. And in 2018 even a wage of $70K has lower purchasing power parity than what pilots were paid 20 years ago. Given how poorly pilots are paid there has been an obvious reduction in supply.
The rub is, human labor is a small fraction of the cost of operating a jet. If they want pilots, they're going to have to pay them well and keep up those incentives.
They are being forced to pre-fund pension plans FAR in advance of their obligation. That is singularly different than ANY other company or entity. It is literally starving them of resources. They can't adequately keep their facilities updated, clean, or expand services. The Post Office is one of the few things specifically mentioned in the Constitution as a service the Government is expected to provide.
If it were not for companies like Amazon and others, the Post Office would have gone bankrupt.
My state and I'm sure many others, charges trucks for weight and tonnage carried on freeways. Ostensibly for the extraordinary wear and tear trucks make on the public roads. The Tesla Semi is probably going to weigh in at much higher weight than a traditional diesel tractor. Will states cut these trucks a break?
90 minutes of flight translates to about 800-900 road miles. Say from Seattle to San Francisco. By road, that trip would take between 16-18 hours. Which likely means, several rest stops, food and possibly an overnight motel if you're not a hardy driver. I'd fly thank you...
Washington State of course. How could you not see EV's? They're everywhere. Leafs, Chevy Volts especially. And I have a little game I play. I count the number of Tesla's I see each day. It averages about 4-6 and it seems the number is increasing.
The state tacks on a $100 fee for registering an EV in addition to any other fees car owners pay to register their vehicle. This is to offset the loss of gas tax revenue and to pilot a transition away from fuel taxes as the primary finance device for road maintenance.
Solar panels on the average house plus storage can be enough to power a house and your car. Couple that with Wind and other renewable energy sources you can charge your storage unit at night with clean power from the grid. Getting solar roofs on enough houses means more options and suddenly you have significant electrical capacity to create microgrids in neighborhoods and suddenly it becomes obvious that the century old practice of centralized energy production and transmission grids is expensive and obsolete.
Just imagine what this will do for the Hawaii market where the incumbent electrical company is RAPING the citizens of Hawaii for 49cents per KW/h and refusing to allow solar panels to be connected to its grid.
Telsa made more money last quarter than all the US oil companies combined. If you invest in Tesla, do it because you believe in the long term vision and viability of his company. Not because you want your myopic short term financial results.
You've been bamboozled by the previous Clinton President. If you have been paying attention to what it costs you to rent or own your home, buy your groceries, and the other various market baskets of real life goods and services, you know that the cost of living has increased dramatically in 3 decades.
This guy figured it out that the government stats have no basis in reality. He found this out when a major aerospace company engaged him to figure out why its econometric model wasn't working. The truth is, the changes in what official government inflation stats measure were designed to reduce the official inflation number which reduces the required cost of living outlays for entitlements and benefits.

If I recall correctly, Consumer Reports was the same organization that demerited cars for having electric power windows because they said something to the effect that you'd be trapped in the event your car sank in a body of water.
It is sad that someone died while using Tesla's "autopilot" feature. But 1) evidence suggests the driver contributed to his own demise by ignoring or circumventing the warnings and safety features of the product 2) the product is only improved by the knowledge gained from this incident making future trips safer for everyone. 3) it is already evident that the rate of fatalities using this mode is already a 35% improvement over non-autopilot users. (1 fatality in 130 million miles driven vs. 1 in 96 million)
The real issue is "Living Wage". $15 an hour which is just starting to gain traction isn't even enough money to rent a family sized apartment in many cities. And $15 was a substantial amount over the current Federal minimum wage. When the minimum wage is hiked, the wages above it are also often hiked. The key is to get people closer to a Living Wage which is closer to $25/hour in some cities. As we've seen, the market failed to provide a living wage for a substantial portion of its citizens with more and more falling into the crevice of poverty.
I find it funny that these companies in the rush to automate exploited wage slaves out of their jobs forgets that the very product they sell depends on PEOPLE buying it. The more they push such people off of payrolls, the less number of people that will buy their product.
Fortunately, the current CEO of McDonalds has already discovered immediate increases in revenue and profits by increasing wages and benefits of their frontline workers.
It's actually the network of autodealers that don't want this to change. They are the ones spearheading legislation to lock out direct to consumer sales.
Under your proposed model, commodities would only be available for the short period of time after those farmers had harvested them. No storage, no long distance delivery. The rest of the year you do without.
The great value that our system of food distributorship in this country is that it provides a great abundance and variety of food commodities available for most of the year.
In the case of cars, the direct sales model would be preferable.

umm. Seriously?
Take a look at the average repair list for your make/model.

So how many of these are instead buying other Tesla models or in the used market?
The intent is the same. You are impermissibly using a criterion for recruitment. You may not discriminate on the basis of age in hiring.

Ya, Compare Washington State and Mississippi.

Here's the relevant state law: http://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/defa...

Already in my state, they are imposing an extra tax for EV's to make up for the lost fuel tax revenue. That's fine. The roads need maintaining.
