Tesla was founded in 2003.
Obviously they didn’t start building charging stations straight away but this doesn’t really feel like we are all having an honest discussion :/
That said they’ve had a long time to plan those chargers.
- chiefalchemist 2y agoYes. But just like the 4 minute mile, once possible is manifested those that follow know it can be done. Or is the gov buying million dollar screwdrivers to build a 2 mill charging station?
- ceejayoz 2y agoUntil a few months ago, the government was convincing the car manufacturers to adopt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Charging_Standard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Charging_Standa.... As well as obtaining thousands of bits of real estate, permitting, etc.
- chiefalchemist 2y agoThe Federal gov has plenty of land, plenty of office space with parking lots, etc. It could easily find partners, etc. Instead it feels like ground up wheel reinventing with million dollar screwdrivers.
- ceejayoz 2y agoThat’s because the plan is to do it largely along major highways, not BLM land in the desert or on military bases. As with those highways themselves, the money goes to states, who run the thing.
