Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car

You don't like being called a nazi apologist, don't make excuses for nazis.
-
Tesla is a nazi-owned company.
That's why you're defending them.
-
And people say lemmy doesn't have ads.

I would personally add a small amount of slack for bad taste satire (we were all young idiots at some point), but basically agree. Any signs of the other points, and that slack is gone, however.
I was mostly curious if the OP was acting in bad faith, or a useful idiot that could be reasoned with.

Nazism, formally named National Socialism, is the far-right totalitarian socio-political ideology and practices associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Germany.
You Americans need to stop using strong words you have no idea about. You can call him far-right douchebag.

"Our chineze vs their chinese."

All cars are bad. Combustion or not.

Thanks for the civilized discussion. Have a nice day to you too.
-
Civility is what is demanded of the oppressed after the oppressors robbed, assaulted and threatened. No more.

elon and all his simps are nazis.

It is and if he loses that wealth I'm pretty sure he is getting kicked to the street. He has no other skills that aren't readily available by folks who aren't utterly unstable drug addled dipshits.

Only usable for federal highways, shit could still be banned by the DMVs or equivalents which would basically be a death knell for it.

That's only half the truth though. The main reason why they're so cheap is because they manufacture everything in the supply chain themselves. Everything. They have their own mines for their resources, they make their own batteries (which they've been doing for ages), they make their own electronics, they make their own software etc.
They also have a completely different mindset. For them they are rolling electrical devices with some software. They don't need the knowhow of the traditional car manufacturers.
And then they bought the Audi designer along with his entire team to make the cars look good. -
Someone downvoted you. Just wanted to say, that said person is a moron.
-
Fuck. What if Elon is just gonna start making weapons? Didn't he flaunt a flamethrower for his lame company years ago?
Boring*

One of the things that has continuously confounded me about Musk's veneration by the modern American fascist is that one of the main accomplishments they hail him as a genius for are "his" advancements in electric cars.
Which are necessitated by Global Warming.
Which they do not believe in.

Well not nobody. Turns out there are some Nazis. /s

Would love to know where you're getting your numbers from for the US and China. I surely hope it's not just the AI response on top of Google. But that's what it seems like. You'd literally have to write a whole research paper to get a good comparison because these are heavily consumer based subsidies within each country and China just has a much larger market it sells to heavily inflating the credit because of population. Also, you didn't list a date range for your 30 Billion number.
You also have to account for state level subsidies and tax credits in the US in addition to Federal programs, grants, loans, etc. Would love to read a paper on this if you have a source.
But, even using your numbers 30 Billion (something I don't think is accounting for State or EV infrastructure spending; but again, I'd like to see a source) is not a "drop in the bucket". It's 13% of what you listed for China over 14 years. Interestingly enough China also outselling the US in terms of market share. Comparing the subsidies of a country that owns the plurality of the market to one that does not is silly. Subsidies are going to increase WITH sales. China is selling significantly more cars. You'd have to compare the subsidies and adjust them based on units sold.
Doing some "Google AI response results" myself China is selling about 8x more EVs than the US (in 2023).
Hmmm. 8x30 = 240 billion. Weird. Again, I'm not taking my numbers seriously but I'm not taking your numbers seriously either because you didn't sight a source, adjust for units sold, or give a date range for your US numbers.
But you're just not comparing this correctly. You HAVE to adjust for units sold. Which you are not.

Yes, there are efficiencies since all the tech is pretty close, but that pales in comparison to the sheer dollars injected into the industries. 231 billion dollars. Compare that to the 2nd closest investment into a car manufacturer which is the USA at 30 billion.
Each one of these new 500+ car manufacturers produced cars at a loss. Not because efficiencies. Because of subsidies. In some cases, not even sold at all. https://youtu.be/vplPmxVRcnk
