All I know is that in 2013 I was able to get insurance in the private market to cover myself. It was ~$80 a month and the deductible was $2000. Now, there is only one company left in my state that will even offer plans in the private marke

I realize that is the prevailing opinion. I think it's wrong. No incumbent out there has has yet made an electric vehicle that can even match Tesla's 2012 model S on range and performance. The electric cars they have come out w

Incumbent car companies seem to have recently realized they are about ~2 years away from being put out of business by Tesla. In the past two weeks we've seen the CEO of BMW step down with speculation it was over BMW's botched EV
