Tesla did release this model yesterday, and we bought one. We’re now as a family almost completely independent of the need for ruinously expensive and unreliable oil, coal or gas to power our lives. The sooner the same shift happens industrially as well, including in trucking, the sooner life will get far cheaper and less violent for all. Of course many people won’t shift, until everybody else shifts. The number 1 guide in most lives is ‘what is everybody else doing?’ Permanent high school, peer pressure. Status and identity, fitting in with the crowd. It will take the lives of that crowd to be brutally disrupted for that shift to accelerate. Which we’re seeing right now.
