  2. "Green" credits is the dumbest idea ever. The ability to "pay" for your dirty processing doesn't help to reduce pollution. How about this. If your process meets regulations you don't pay anything. If your process is dirty you pay a fine to the government for the cleanup.

  3. Every year in ev credits Sam? Is it a new secret every year =b

    This seems like a secret in the same way paying taxes is a secret? Subsidies are also a secret maybe?

    Always appreciating your content Sam, just confuses by the lack of accuracy. Ty for making something to watch <3

  4. It infuriates me that my country, the US, is doing this. We need to allow Chinese EVs, anything under $15k, to be imported tax free. That's how we move the US to an electric economy and build out EV infrastructure while at the same time, helping low income citizens get around (you can't get around w/o a car in the US). Paying Tesla is INSANE and must stop.

  5. Autos, solar, battery tech & production, wireless satellite internet, rockets, and artificial intelligence… Tesla is on track to become SKYNET! (You heard it here first folks!) Now we just need to influence them into making weapons! It's all coming together! BU HAHAHAHAHAHA

  6. The billions in credits are being used to fund research and development interest free. Competition are literally paying for Tesla to move further ahead. It’s crazy.

  7. All of this complex regulation is completely unnecessary. We just need one thing, and that's a tax on oil, coal and gas at the mine or well. Raise the tax every year and every other carbon-related regulation could be abandoned.

  8. So, car companies can't make money on selling EVs plus they pay a fortune on carbon credits. Soon they will just shut down entirely and all cars will come from Tesla and China.

  9. The legacy auto makers cannot sell more electric vehicles since nobody wants them. Tesla vehicles are just a fashion item that happens to have seats and a steering wheel. Electric vehicles have toomany disadvantages compared to combustion vehicles, just face it.

  10. I think get rid of the credits and instead they should be forced to sell evs. Credits allow them to not sell evs intentionally which is the opposite of what is needed to reduce climate action.
