Unless the purchasers sign something that gives this any validity, it'd be a hard to actually sue a registered owner...
However, I'd imagine there is some clause in the purchase paperwork giving Tesla this ability...

Ford did the same thing in the Ford GTs. As does Ferrari. I'm sure others as well. And buyers sell them and violate. They do get sued. But I don't know the outcomes.
It’s not a policy.
At least someone is thinking about it and analyzing what could be necessary to eliminate fossil fuels. Whether it will ever happen and what may happen, we can only guess. But at least someone is looking at possibilities.
Einstein didn’t develop quantum theory as a policy, but his work resulted in nuclear technology and enabled landing on the moon. Whether it was good or bad, can be debated.
Perhaps the Amish have the right ideas and forward thinking should be abolished?
In this way of thinking, you are alluding to the fact that Tesla (Elon Musk) speaks for the masses.....
What is becoming more and more evident is the masses do not want EV nor do they think EV is both sustainable or the answer to climate change.
The polls are out there not to mention the sales figures.
It might be slightly different if this Tesla "green plan" wasn't going to directly allow Tesla to profit and flourish as a result.....Musk is holding cards in this game and has something to lose if it doesn't play to his favor...

That paper had a very small EV component. The rest was about Hydrogen, solar, wind, hydro, recycling, renewable.
LOL
Give the guy a tiny bit of credit, he puts food on the table for 130,000 employees and his revenue supports multiple secondary businesses putting more food on the table for a whole lot of folks.
Why would he be concerned about these power generators unless the end goal is to power his vehicles which equates to more of his vehicles being on the road which equates to a large profit margin for his company.....
And he went into X (formerly Twitter) and fired 75% of the staff....
He is part of the elitists who definitely won't do something unless there is a payout for themselves....his efforts aren't for the good of mankind, they are for the good of his companies, you can be sure of that.
Ok, I get it. You don’t like him.
I don't know him, so therefore I have no basis to say I don't like him.....
Perhaps I see things differently than others see them.....whether that is a good or bad thing is yet to be determined...
I do know the CEO of an umbrella corporation such as his didn't get there because he is a nice, giving guy who has the best interest of someone else in mind as his priority.
So if we scrap the EV part of that proposal, but pursue the hydro, wind, solar, nuclear, renewable, bio, etc., over the next 50 years, do you still think it is BS.?
Let’s add no Tesla involved in that mission, to consider in your answer.
Yes, I believe it would be more believable when there is no hidden agenda or monetary gain for a corporation attached, this makes me suspicious of the motives behind it.
I've read articles from world renowned scientists that have concerns about covering too much surface area with solar panels as they said it would stop sun rays from reaching the earth surface which isn't good either. And add to this solar panels are prone to damage from hail and other natural phenonium and there has to be a storage medium for the energy which would have to be developed.
In one of the videos I posted it showed thousands of wind turbine blades being buried because they were damaged and not able to be recycled (for some reason), I think they should be able to be recycled some how...I have also read that wind turbines come with their own issues as well.

Hi. I just read that if you charge them with there fast charger to many times it kill the battery faster.. you have to also prep the battery in hot and cold weather with a phone app.

Hi. This was said by Dr. Bharat Balasubramanian Executive Director for Advanced Vehicles.
I've heard the same thing, I've also heard if the Tesla Plaid is run hard too often it fries all kinds of things including the battery....running hard like does causes a huge draw on the battery.

Hi. I think that Tesla is working very hard a making cars we can not use.
I think they can be used however there are limitations.
A Plaid is not inexpensive either....

Use is relative. Some people in this thread already think they are a useable answer.
I guess we all have our view on what "useable" means. If they got cheap enough to own and convenient to use, I'd own one. But I think there are plenty of better approaches to being environmentally pro-active.
The Plaid's uber performance is beyond anything we've seen, so something has to give. That said, the Plaid is not the vehicle to judge the feasibility and dependability of Evs. There indeed is, as you touched on, a good fit for EVs, drivers that don't make regular long trips of 300 miles or so. Normal in town commuting, when one factors in no oil changes, transmission flushes etc as well as no trips to the gas station, will quickly show savings you can put a calculator to. My friend at the gym, a real estate guy that drives a lot locally, saves tons and charges his S series at home. He bought it used with 60k 3 years ago and freaking loves it. There are plenty of stories just like his. EVs are not for everyone but they certainly are coming on strong.
Take a good look. Autotrader will give a good consensus. Features and performance wise, the price is competitive and as far as convenience, forgetaboutit.
For those who are a bit more forward thinking.
You will see more and more of this. oil companies are struggling hard these days as they are not allowed to explore or start new extractions under your (and our) current governments....For those who are a bit more forward thinking.
We may see a huge change in this if these governments are voted out and I really hope ours is-the guy we have now is running our country into the ground.
As we all know, making EV is not any environmentally better than making ICE and in many cases it's worse. The carbon footprint of an EV is pretty high and when and if they become mainstream, the cost of recharging them will climb, once the power companies get loose, all bets are off....we get to see a small taste of this in California.
