Remember the name of every press person who is asserting the EV or Tesla demand problem because its proof they are dishonest or negligent or both and then remember that sponsored media outlets lie, and censor and spin for money- which is why we have to get rid of sponsored (bought and paid for) filter media, and get conflict of interest free sources of information to support the public interest. Got sponsored media then you have sponsored politicians and that is the source of all the capture in the US by multinationals and foreign governments- you do bribery based media and you get bribery based government and bribery based rigged markets, just look at the US financial markets.
So again the Tesla Model 3 is a stunning utter complete smashing success without Tesla bribing the sponsored media toll road- part of why the sponsored media hates Tesla so much is the ICE groups that do intense sponsoring (bribing) of the sponsored media are getting no-where for it against Tesla but they are loading the short burn of the millennium over it. Understand that, ICE pays tons to sponsored media and gets now where for it aside from loading the short burn and that undermines the whole sponsorship scam, there is no return on the conspiracy when it is up against integrity and real value and solid tech and a firm that wants to compete and not just collude.
You can tell what a desperate state the fossil fuel industry is in behind the scenes because there now there are calls from 'Seeking Alpha' to ban EVs in favor of freedom gas and freedom cars, because increasingly irrelevant to EV batteries cobalt is supposedly Chinese. There is also whining about freedom fries France taking over FCV- but how many times has FCV gone bankrupt or been acquired and good riddance- but it is the end of mopar etc. And now there is talk about Ford and GM merging as I've suggested- this will happen as these two companies have the fossil fuel supply chain down into their DNA. These two structurally bankrupt subsidy dependent firms shouldn't be allowed to continue unless they are fully acquired by their blue collar employees. Remember GM's last brilliant move, where it bought up a bunch of its own stock and then announced huge layoffs only to have Trump threaten to cancel their hidden subsidies- yep "hidden subsidies" for an ICE company- no surprise there at all. They are still the same companies that fought things like seat belts and air bags. Remember when GM went from having 25 billion in cash to being bankrupt overnight and then it blamed its union and its already much lower paid employees for not being willing be paid a lot less- relative to say the German firms? Remember how the same GM later was able to write off a chunk of its government bail out loan but then not long after was able to do huge stock buy backs and lay off employees?
But you have the fossil fuel industry with permanent ultra low thermodynamic efficiency and resultant ultra low sub threshold aggregate economic efficiency across its entire supply chain, part of why its always been part of 1/3 of the tax haul that is pure demand creation transfer payment welfare case but where essentially over the long long term it has had ultimately ever worsening every catabolizing unworkable economics hollowing everything out with austerity and driving the debt maximization that has Americans straddled with 68 trillion in public and private debt weighing down on each wager earner with the pervasive pressure even at the zero rate of $1900 a month from age 18 or possibly from age 0. That is leveraging all the time and energy out of people's lives and that is about pure control and nothing else- not a penny of that debt is necessary because there are other ways.
Look at a Liberty mutual. That incredibly firm apparently took its insurance pool and bought the shares of Enron and Aliso Viejo gas disaster poster child PG&E but also insured PG&E and then got hit with PG&E's 2nd bankruptcy in so many years and has now raised its home insurance rates on its rate payers by 40% in a single year to try to socialize the losses- this happens all the time be it life, insurance or mortgages or pensions or auto insurance it a securitization scam. This is why we pay 2x what anyone else does for health care where as Chomsky has said if we had single payer like everyone else we wouldn't even have federal deficit and of course wouldn't need secret energy policy or criminal budget sequestration (secret budgeting) to hide the fossil fuel socializing losses scams or the stupid Trump Tariffs (can't compete with permanently lower cost of goods greener economies and raising defensive tarrifs) and we wouldn't be trying to take Iran and Venzuela's oil off line to sell people a resource they don't need. You know a lot of the conflict in the supposed China trade war is the US trying to sell China fossil fuels is simply doesn't need and won't ever need again. The most important than we can do is make these Southern Anti Bellum fossil fuel brahams eat their just deserved economic losses- this is what justice demands. If this were 1950 it would be different but this 70 years later and 70 years of this ill-gotten can't be overlooked.
Ask yourself how it is that oil tankers now make half their transoceanic voyages full of sea water where as supposedly not long ago they were full both ways- source was I think Oil Price- not exactly an anti fossil fuel rag. Ask how that is possible with the massive number of global coal plant closures. Hmm, coal and oil both down at the same time, difference must be made up by shale? Wrong!!! Fossil fuels simply aren't competitive at any latitude and haven't been for a long time, the levellized price estimates have been pure bs- people have been quietly ditching fossil fuels the globe over at a massive rate, not other explanation that wouldn't entail obvious economic collapse makes sense. Shale not long ago was driving mid west banks to the point of bankruptcy over derivatives insuring stranded asset natural gas bad debts, same for Deutsche Bank (note the supposed tie to the current white house) with the same idiotic problem- its not better now- shale isn't any more viable or any cheaper or more competitive- there is no place on the globe that its competitive and that even with apparent massive drops in coal and oil demand. How is that possible. Even 4 years ago state of the art Aeon brand new natural gas plants couldn't compete in snowy Germany against duck curve non battery backed solar, it was so bad that brand new gas plants peaker or otherwise could only run a couple days a month and had to be shuttered and the German companies left shale. In one recent year all the natural gas plants in Texas were scrapped because they couldn't compete utility scale solar- source was CEO of 8 Minute Energy. Shale and the rest of fossil fuels isn't competitive anywhere and never will be again- its -f-ing over and the lie can't be covered any longer- MIT researchers (surprising from petrol university- unless I have the source wrong) just did a study that showed that cluing in the public to the reality of fossil fuel economics and its dead end tech would solve climate change faster than anything else . Energy is becoming essentially free, energy rent seeking is over. Ask why fat hostage taking investors in CA think they can get 10% government guaranteed returns in stupid investments in gas plants and fracking for 18 cents a kwh retail when rural coops provide coal power at cost for 6 cents a kwh. Presumably this is part of why PG&E suddenly has an Enron sized $40 billion missing supposedly due to wild fires- and it is pushing tripe about needing to shut off power during the day like the old rolling black outs under enron- why there is a power glut from solar. Same reason SCE despite the solar glut is claiming it failed to purchase a billion dollars and needs it from its rate payers despite solar glut.
