No, the subject is not for here, but also, not for a 'hit and run' attack on
fossil fuel vehicles...

An apparent complaint about clean air EV incentives, while ignoring the
petroleum subsidies of about $3300 per dirty-air gas car.  Which is now
about the same as the $3750 Tesla incentive.  But, the Tesla incentive
will decrease by half in the next six months and then zero.  While the
dirty gas car continues to get subsidized by tax payers for decades...

We should end this thread as off topic, but need to correct any
misinformation.  Bob

Seems a bit overkill when a marine deep-cycle and a solar panel will run
you about $500, no? ;-)
