Cute idea, but a a lot of the details don't even stand up to a basic reality test.
For example: "value of a used car, if exported to Latin America or China: $5,000"
Does he seriously think the US can sell the entire set of automobiles currently on the road to Latin America or China at that price?
- Xichekolas 18y agoI didn't see him use that number in his analysis (other than list it), so it doesn't seem important either way.
- michael_dorfman 18y agoSure he does-- he subtracts it from the (assumed) $20,000 price of a mass-produced electric car, to give a net price of $15,000 per vehicle.
