What happens if Tesla falls? America's charging station infrastructure is owned by Tesla. Looks like the whole EV push has been a complete failure. What about the environment and global warming, seems like people really don't care about any of that in comparison to settling political grievances. It is what it is.
That's the American way of doing things. Wild deregulation and dependency on billionaires, because freedom or some excuse.
In Europe, the EU mandated years ago CCS2 for all cars, tesla included, so the whole continent's (UK, CH, etc included) infrastructure is compatible with every car, just like gas stations. Tesla operates like 20% of the infrastructure so if they disappear it will be a minor nuisance, and only for the time other operators gobble up the locations. If power and permits are already in place, it's a question of a few weeks to install the transformers and charging points.
@AidsKitty@lemmy.world
@juergen@feddit.org Are you a Tesla owner who only charges at Telsa charging stations? Tesla doesn't even own the majority of charging stations in the US. They only recently started allowing non-Teslas to use their chargers. Where did you think all the other EVs were charging?
Tesla will be taken over by PE who will sell off the charging network. Once rebranded as ChargePoint or Electrify America, they will will no lobger be targeted by vandalism and arson. The cost of removing the toxic Tesla brand isn't trivial, but the locations and infrastructure have value. They won't just be turned off when there is profit to made.

There is no point in worrying about the environment without first fighting against facism.
Im a little unclear on your charge of fascism here. Could you list examples of the fascist events or occurances you have suffered?
Ah yes the "could you please list specific ways you've been harmed" that's definitely asked in good faith to further a productive discussion.
Sealion.
I've asked multiple people and never once has anyone given an example, or an experience, but this is the first time i was called a sealion.
Women are no longer able to get adequate medical care and my trans friends can no longer be their true selves. The family that runs the grocery store down the street is scared of anybody in a blue uniform. You're either willfully malicious or so uninformed that your opinion on it is useless.
That you pretend to care and to be objective is a joke. We can all see exactly what you are.
If you want to be technical, US is a proto-fascist state (i.e. there is still a lot of room for things to get worse).
