in reply to you, and same es majors post, exactly! and again, i wasn’t trying to spark a woman debate. if anything that’s just one tiny element of the overall negative media onslaught against tesla, no doubt fueled by shorts, fossil fuel policy $, union, etc. i mean they aren’t perfect, for sure. and there’s plenty of positive coverage too. but i’m tired of reading stuff that just isn’t even close, or blatantly false. it’s a joke. the problem is, there is a larger portion of the population that doesn’t have a clue about electric cars, solar, or energy storage in general, let alone tesla the company. they see this ‘news’ and are forever swayed by it. i talk to so many people who just spew flase claims at me and when i rebut with the facts and they are stunned. i don’t think musk handled the media lashing correctly, and he probaby agrees, but he probably did a better job than i ever would have.
but with all of this nonsense we have to sift through, when will the tipping point, or “crossing the chasm” (as simon sinek explains, which he coined from someone else, i forgot who) occur when we have the middle/larger portion of adopters of these resources? cars seem like they will be first. solar/storage combo still doesn’t have the ROI for most of the population, depending on where you live and what government constraints are imposed on you. in ct we need to pay $50 a month to stay grid connected. this may change, but hopefully i’m gone sooner ha. at least they offer the 3k tax credit for BEV under 60k...
