Tesla has factories all over the place at this point. They are huge.

I think they’re building one in Mexico, they’ve got two in the United States, one in Germany, at least one in China, and they’re building a bunch of other facilities, including a plant to recycle the batteries from the cars. (They are making huge investments in Texas, once they solve their solid-state battery technology, EV’s will actually be practical...) they are even moving in the direction of being able to reduce a vehicle that does not cost lots of money… getting the price down to the cost of a Toyota Camry for example.

It’s a pretty wild operation and frankly, regardless of what anybody who is anti-EV thinks, they are leaps and bounds more advanced than traditional automotive companies. Which is why a lot of those companies are in the process of working out licensing agreements with Tesla.

Well, I have a Tesla model Y, I have huge issues with the government trying to tell everybody what to do… more of the point I happen to know my car is absolutely not practical if you live out in the middle of nowhere or you have to deal with cold environments. That being said, things are going to change once Toyota starts putting out their solid state batteries. basically, for the same volume and weight you end up with a 700 mile range in the vehicle I currently own. The real question is what happens to energy generation capabilities between now and then; Nobody wants windmills in their backyard, the use of solar panels is a great idea, but what do you do with that at the end of their 20 year life cycle, etc.

So what you are saying is that the Tesla design is the most impractical of all the fantasy-based EVs that will be coming out and that all the recharging methods that do not involve hydrocarbons are inefficient and complete, long-term shit on the environment. Oh, and not to mention the infrastructure upgrade that will never come. Well, nothing left to do but ride a bike in the snow I guess...

Love the A5, but it makes no sense to me when folks spend ridiculous money on the aesthetic features of a custom gun, then add a cheap Chinese optic. If you’re on a budget with a cheap gun, I totally understand that. In this case, that gorgeous wood and the color case hardening must have cost a pretty penny. Do it justice and put a decent optic on it (if you demand an optic).

I don't disagree but I have a rifle that I put an Eotech on, then switched it to a Trijicon and now have a Holosun on it. Why, because I have astigmatism and the Holosun looks and performs the best for my eyes. Once I read that the Holosun 510c was the most popular red dot in USPSA PCC division, I gave it a try and now have two.

I'm guessing the Holosun wasn't used in this case to save a buck. Unfortunately they actually do make a pretty good sight... I'll never own one on principle, but...

At the table next to them the cajun leans and says "Gator."
