Sigh. Same song, 295th verse (at least). You get a grant, buy a bunch of EVs, and hand the keys to people who aren't interested in them and/or actively despise them. Then you also limit what they can do with said EVs. Why look at this, nobody wants to drive them! Our EVs are a failure! Who could have predicted it? Hey, taxpayers, look what we did! Please get sore at us for wasting your tax dollars and tell us never to do that again. Thank you, that's what we were hoping you'd do. Now let's hurry up and spend the rest of this year's budget on more big gas- guzzling SUVs. And don't forget to put those heavy, destructive, murderous push bars on the front.

Tesla Gigafactory Texas’ Phase 1 area has taken shape with phenomenal speed
September 3, 2020 ... the shape of the Phase 1 building in Giga Texas is
extremely similar to the Phase 1 zone in Tesla’s Gigafactories in Shanghai
and Beijing. Overall, it appears that Tesla is following the same
Gigafactory playbook in Texas, building a Phase 1 area where an initial
vehicle could be produced and later expanding the buildout to other areas
for facilities dedicated to the production of other vehicles. Gigafactory
Texas is situated in a plot of land comprised of 2,100 acres, making it one
of the electric car maker’s largest sites yet ... the mammoth factory is ...

pickup and the Class 8 Semi ...

it may grow to be about 700 feet (213 meters) wide or even more! Overall
length is also difficult to measure, but estimates of 5,000 feet (1,525

What Tesla's Texas takeover means for oil-dependent Houston
September 4, 2020 Yellow bulldozers and dump trucks began moving dirt this
summer on an expanse of land 15 minutes east of downtown Austin. Over the
next three years, Tesla plans to transform this former sand and gravel mine
into its largest “Gigafactory” assembling electric-powered Cybertruck
pickups, Model Y SUVs and semi-trailer trucks. The more than
4-million-square-foot electric-vehicle manufacturing plant — rising in the
heart of oil country, where the gas-guzzling Ford F-150 pickup reigns
supreme — is another sign of the accelerating energy transition that will
have profound implications for Houston’s oil-dependent economy ...

[EVDL] EVs4Sale: LAPD-CA BMW i3 Deals> (EV-blackeye 4bad decision$)
https://thecurrentreview.com/News/Heres-Where-LAPDs-BMW-i3-Fleet-is-Now/#wbb1
The LAPD's Costly BMW i3 Fleet Is Being Sold For Basically Nothing, Which
Means There Are Deals ...
20200831 ... Despite Mayor Garcetti and Chief Beck's enthusiasm, the program
was not exactly a success. The elephant in the room was the cost, which
included charging stations, amassed to a staggering $10,267,699. Moreover,
most of LA's finest i3s accumulated under 20,000 miles due to the
"administrative" title placed on the cars. Namely, the i3s were not suited
for patrolling. Furthermore, CBS Los Angeles reported some i3s that
accumulated just several hundred miles making the whole proposition look
more ineffective. If LAPD had around a dozen of these vehicles, the story
probably would never have been brought to light, but LAPD had 200, $45,000
electric cars sitting in a parking garage collecting dust. So, where are
these carbon fiber monocoques now? New Century BMW, the dealer that handled
the leases initially, is currently selling them as CPO models ... these are
a bargain. All twenty-three i3s currently up for sale are certified
pre-owned. So expect the remainder of the four year / 50,000-mile warranty,
a one year / unlimited-mile after the basic expires, and an eight-year /
100,000-mile battery warranty (from the date of purchase). A 2017 i3 would
have two more years under the basic warranty, and five under the battery
warranty ... some are priced around $15,000, unbeatable for an under
warranty, lightly-driven electric car. The only issue that one may see is
that some of these i3s were sitting, presumably for prolonged periods. We do
not know the charging intervals in which these vehicles partook, so it's
hard to tell if they have been appropriately cared for. The reassurance for
this is that the cars are covered under the battery warranty ...
