Taxed per mile driven

[wilberforce15]

If it is superior technology, it does not need a tax break.

Inferior technologies need incentives to use.

It will win without a tax break. It's inevitable. Electrics will dominate the entire auto industry.

That's why I said speed it up.

 

[Wally]

This would be true, except everyone is better off the faster and wider electrics get adopted.

They have to pay like everyone else. This vehicle welfare for rich liberals has to end!

I need a seawater proof truck.
I carry things that are dripping wet.
Nobody currently makes one.

The faster its adopted, the faster it helps the poor.

Electrics are so superior that wider adoption will lead to lower transportation costs for the poor.

All new tech benefits the rich first.

The cybertruck is made of stainless steel for exactly that purpose. And it can float.

Watch this site and see how many MASS drivers are doing their part to conserve gasoline.

This idea would unite all transportation companies, as well as any company that uses company vehicles, in a major fight against this tax. It’s not just about everyday people, but the survival of many companies.

The poor?

You know a government program is coming to pay for their mileage tax.

Could be. Mileage taxes are very regressive, like most of our taxes. The poor pay a disproportionate share.

I think that is inevitable but these polluting personal vehicles are dependent on fossil based energy sources.

Load leveling of electricity usage can be managed by timing of the vehicle during night hours when the total load is at it's nadir.
Personal solar power systems and local battery storing of energy offers potential to facilitate electric vehicles.
Unfortunately, a whole new industry will have to be implemented to mitigate pollution and environmental damage related to increased usage of solar power and battery storage systems.

A floating truck would not be wise when launching or recovering a boat.
The truck will need to stay on the ground for traction purposes.

We are nowhere near the capacity needed to charge hundreds of millions of electric cars. If they're serious about this they'll need to build a lot of nuclear plants.

Some states like New Jersey spend an exorbitant amount per mile as compared to other states. Perhaps someone should study why all the waste?

They have to keep rebuilding off ramps to hide the bodies?

It doesn't have to float. It can be made to float. I can't believe I had to explain that.

The cybertruck body is rust proof. That was the question.

Ever wonder what happens when you add salt water to electric batteries?

 

[Fred's Myth]

They shouldn't pay their fair share.

We should encourage superior technology by giving it a tax break.

You mean a subsidy that you claimed earlier wasn’t needed?

 

[wilberforce15]

Nothing.

I don't know if you know this.

But we've been to the moon. And we've also figured out how to keep batteries dry.

Amazing isn't it?

The subsidy is not needed. Electrics will dominate the world.

But subsidy speeds adoption, and that's good.

How much salt water is on the moon?
