    Uhh no that's not at all correct. The taxes are paid to whatever jurisdiction you register your car. If you live in Texas and you buy a car in Wyoming the Taxes get paid to you loc…

    I think they should be able to mark stuff up all they want. They just shouldn't be able to have laws enabling their status as forced middle men. If a consumer wants to pay extra th…

    That would be a silly way to approach it. You would be paying $40k+ per month in just demand charges some places. A much better idea is to have battery packs you can charge at cons…

    Definitely a neat fix for something that worked for 150+ years and only needed to be checked a couple times a week. Now that it has to be manually checked at least once a day thoug…
