manufacturing is already moving back to the states in droves and it is being handle by manufacturing.
Tesla will have a production line that is 100% robotics for the main assembly.
First, ppl buying 60-140K cars are not really impacted by 7500 tax break.
Secondly, even with that same subsidy offered to the competitor cars, Tesla STILL outsells them all.
Third, the 7500 for Tesla will run out by sept 2017 or in less than 9 months. Ppl buying the M3, KNOW this and yet, they have pre-sold 400,000 cars. The most in history EVER.
Fourth, while 7500 DOES impact sales of $20-25K cars that sell for 35K, it does not impact a 35-40K car that sells for 35K.
As such, I think that when M3 hits, and is a superior car to its competitors BMW 300 series, etc and at the same price point (35K), then it is obvious that Tesla will be selling as many as they can produce.
BTW, if the GOP kills the 7500, then you can bet on it that many others WILL be impacted on sales. The leaf, volt, bolt, i3, etc are $20-25K cars that sell for 35+K and the 7500 DOES make a HUGE impact on their sales. But even with that, they still can not compete against Tesla.
First off, they have made profits 2x. As musk has shown, they can make easily just be slowing down investments.
And What gov subsidies? The 7500 tax break for the car buyers? You really think that is making ppl buy MS and MX? Absolutely not. The reason that
Tesla model S outsells ALL OF THEIR COMPETITORS is that they have a SUPERIOR product. In addition, it is obvious that Model X will outsell its competitors as they increase production. Basically, Tesla is held back by their production capability.
Lastly, the companies that are dependant on gov subsidies would be all of others. Germany is now funding VW, BMW, MB, Audi, Porsche, etc to move to EVs.
America gave LOADS of money (in both subsidies and massive loans) to GM, Ford, Chrysler, and even a number of none American car makers to re-tool into hybrids. Total joke. In less than 1 year, Tesla will still be unable to meet the demand of.5-1M cars while nearly all other car makers are going to be plummeting in sales.
ROFL. Uh, yeah. After waiting more than 10 years for them to come out with their car, I think that you can safely assume that it will NOT be happening.
As to Tesla, if you can afford a 35K BMW 300 series, then you can afford a much better car with Tesla Model 3.
LOL.
Why would anybody sell a mercedes level car at 10K?
You would have to be an IDIOT to do that.
As it is, the Model S is destroying all of its REAL competitors in terms of sales, and with more than 400,000 model 3 pre-sold, it is obvious that tesla is going to JUST FINE.
which is why the REAL Issue is that Mexico has a pay of $3.00 PER DAY. What is needed to adjust NAFTA to make it fair and better for all, is to require Mexico to slowly bring their pay up to $3/hr or better.
Tesla is made in America and while they import parts, they are in the process of bringing that all in-house, or least their manufacturing to California.
Many will claim that Trump is going to make things worse by saying that he will increase coal mining, along with nat gas drilling. Yet, with America's nat gas being at the lowest level, it is impossible for Coal to take on nat gas. Likewise, Tesla EV will continue to sell since the M3 hits in less than year. And considering that you are getting a car that is better than a BMW 300 series, while costing only 35K, means that EVs will grow in sales in a massive way, regardless of Trumps cuts to AE subsidies. As such, America's emissions will continue downward as we have for the last 8 years. In fact, they will likely go down faster than they did during O's time (a lot of things had to be primed).
So, where will the CO2 emissions continue growing? In Germany, Japan, South Korea, India, Russia, Brazil, and most of all, CHINA. WHy will these areas go up? Because the far left runs around giving excuses for why they should be allowed to emit far more than others and regardless of what the CO2 levels are at.
The 100 / shot is for the dumb loads. And USN plans to have BOTH smart and dumb on-board.
In terms of the overheating issues (which is what wears the rail down), just move the design to a Gatling gun approach.
IOW, multiple rails.
the fact that you think that Russia has better equipment or that the Zumwalt is junk, would indicate that you have absolutely NO IDEA of what military equipment is about.
BTW, the zumwalt is not using this gun, because they have a rail gun that shoots at over 100 miles range, AND for less than $100 / shot (the cheaper dumb stuff costs only 20 / shot). And the stealthiness of this is such that on ANY radar it shows up as a 30' fishing boat. That is pretty darn small and obviously the chinese and russian will not be able to see it without going after their own civilian boats. And as to the German fleet, good luck having ANYTHING close to a zumwalt.
actually, the zumwalts are NOT being canceled, just limited. However, like the F22, they are very likely to restart production since the zumalt design with railguns and lasers are very likely to take out any other destroyers.
Seriously, the rail gun is the way to go. These only costs less than $100 / shot. And ideally, they will move the rail gun to a gatling gun approach to deal with the cooling issue. But the ability to fire at 1 x / second would be a big deal.
Seriously, it amazes me how many trolls here are here to go against anything Musk owns.
The fact is, that with our tesla, we charge at home for local driving, and when going up into the mountains, THEN we use the SC..
This is what was meant to be. And truthfully, most ppl do not travel more than 1000 miles / year in which they need the SCs.
Finally, if you believe that you are entitled, you can buy a used Tesla which is grandfathered in, OR, you can go to GM, Ford, BMW, Audi, etc and ask them for the free energy with their cars.
Seriously, Apple should buy Faraday Future and finish that work.
No doubt if another CHinese buys it, they will shut it down and move it back to CHina.
IOW, they will have simply picked up the IP from it.
Anybody that believes that China growing their coal plants by 35-50GW each year, with no real cuts, and only the western world to make huge cuts, will cause CO2 to drop, is a total FOOL.
Sadly, there are many all around.
This is being accomplished by several things:
1) India manipulates their money against the dollar.
2) The stages are from India's missiles. IOW, we would be funding their military.
3) We are not allowed to use military tech to cheaply launch sats here, so, it is not fair to allow other nations to use that tech to lower their costs relative to ours.
4) this is the same BS that China tried on America, which helped undercut our own space program. As such, it should NOT be allowed.
we should be able to go after the companies that SELL CHinese products. Walmart, Sears, K-Mart, Target, etc should all be held responsible for selling garbage.

$7500 does not impact a car that runs from 60-140K, so once the subsidy ends there, it is over. In addition, that same subsidy is available to Tesla competitors, but, they have not made the sales. Basically, Model S outsells its competitors and both have the same subsidies.

should be reasonable if you have a nuke plant that can provide electricity and direct heat.
and you have a total solution for providing electricity, water, oil, taking care of sewage, and even providing oil for plastics, etc.

India defense is 18.6% of its budget, with 12.7% going to education.
From the same article, America's defense is 19.3%, and 17.1% going to education.
IOW, America spends close to the same % on defense, but we spend a lot more , relative to India, on our educaiton
Next time, please try to be honest and not just a lobbyist for your nation.
This is being accomplished by several things:

Really ?what resources has he stolen?
and yet, anything designed for Mars, will land here and all of the systems would have been tested.
this particular issue would NOT have happened.
we should be able to go after the companies that SELL CHinese products. Walmart, Sears, K-Mart, Target, etc should all be held responsible for selling garbage.
