Propping up his billionaire butt-buddy with a little free advertising on the White House lawn.

The entire world is laughing at us. Fuck each and every one of you who voted for this ass-clown.

The only real surprise is that it was a new car.

just poking fun, Mike -- here a couple months ago, you would post "ev are the future" and didn't complain about jobama's EV mandates, but NOW they are bad?

of course it's a dumb action by trump

Maybe he needs a BigMac mobile.

. . . looks like Tesla is experiencing the joys of Trumponomics too.

Not just Tesla, just got off the phone with a regular client and he tells me that he is down 100K in the last week on his 401K.

I see on the news this morning that the EU is also hitting back at the U.S. with tariffs. He wanted a trade war? It looks like he has one.

p.s. Thanks, EU. We appreciate the help.

I never even considered Tesla,, I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5 and love it,, i get about 300 miles on $3 charging at my house,, I did see where a lot of tesla owners are removing their tesla emblems from their cars and replacing them with other auto makers emblems,,,I also have 1 ton and larger trucks for doing the heavy stuff but id rather be driving my EV,,

I don't recall ever posting that i was for or against EV's.....it's one of the few things I agree with Lane on...I have no problem with other folks buying one but I never would.

I drive a ten year old Land Cruiser with 110,000 miles on it. And, I intend to drive it another 110,000.

. . . would you buy a new or used car from this man? Pity the embarrassment he (and his predecessor) have brought to the Office of the President.

Trump's notes from his medicine show yesterday . . .

He must apply his orange pancake make-up with his thumb....note the orange hue....probably uses it for those hard to get to areas...ears and such.

Not nearly as hard as it would have been if the main competition hadn't gone WAY out of the way to piss everybody except Putin off, I suspect you'll find willing prospective partners for any products you wish to trade.

If Trump is not wholly owned by Vladimir Putin can anybody offer an alternate explanation that almost makes sense for why he's never uttered a harsh word about him but constantly insults our friends and allies without provocation?

I’d also like one or more of his fan club members to respond. It’s a simple question.

They've all disappeared. I wonder why?

. . . come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall . . .

To be fair, you have generally posted this in the past, and I agree - at the moment in this tech, EV's aren't ready -- but you had implied it .. oh, it's single post, but it stuck out in my mind

But, why would you be opposed to an EV bus? It's a bad idea just in general? Or, it's a bad idea for fossil fuel bus manufacturers because they will lose money or why?

I don't understand. You don't think that an EV school bus makes sense?

I'm not an EV vehicle fan but I have been in enough Tesla's to understand it is the future.

I likely misread that - and it's certainly not your general intent --

like you, i buy a car to last a LONG time - EV's won't, at this stage of the tech - the batteries time out, if nothing else --

i recall a story about 2 ZERO mile tesla roadsters found and bought in a shipping container, and both would require full battery replacement to move under their own power ...


If i found a 1980 transam, with zero miles in a container, I would expect to refresh the fluids, myself i would "juice" the cylinders with something like MMO, might replace the gas lines, and a new battery --

and if it was canary yellow, I'd drive off into the sunset!
