Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by Mark Tarpenning and Martin Everhard. Elon Musk invested $6.5 million and appointed himself chairman of the board. A few years later he raised $30 million with help from the Google Founders. The investment came with the condition the he be named founder of the company. Then he proceeded to push out the founders, rewrote the history of the company to erase their names, and crowned himself the self-made “genius” behind the EV revolution.
This entire “revolution” is premised on the lie of “global warming” and “climate change.” The farcical assumption rooted in doctored “science” that somehow anthropomorphic-caused increases in atmospheric Co2 levels will cause the planet to warm anywhere from 1-3 degrees Celsius by the end of this century. Co2, also known as the gas of life, increases vegetation and the “greening” of the planet, thereby enriching animal life. Presently Co2 levels are normal if not lower than the historical average.
For example, 65 million years ago they may have been as high as 1700ppm. While a million years ago they were still over 1000ppm, compared to today’s figure of ~400ppm. At any rate, there is absolutely zero evidence that moderately increasing Co2 levels will cause any problems for humans, animals, or the planet, which is a complex self-correcting system that will see species come and go regardless of human behavior and is more affected by solar cycles than anything else.
Yet here we are with two or more generations brainwashed and indoctrinated into believing a psychological operation posing as a climate emergency which has given rise to brands like Tesla Motors.
Have consumers around the world been fooled into making many decisions about their lives, not just bodily autonomy, that give greater power to the states working for a global technocratic cabal while restricting their liberties and harming themselves physically and financially?
The answer appears to be a resounding Yes!
EVs, veganism, vaccines, paying for carbon credits. These are just the first of many scams that come to mind. While EVs are not the deadliest consumer choice one can make today, (unless you happen to be one of the hundreds of unlucky drivers trapped inside one after a crash as it spontaneously combusts and firefighters have to wait four days for the lithium batteries to burn themselves out before they can recover your charred remains) they are costly in more ways than boiling to death inside a white egg.
Of all the EVs to choose from Tesla is still the most popular brand maintaining a dominant share of the Western EV market.
What is a Tesla other than a glorified electric golf cart with an iPad that can be controlled remotely and monitored by the state at all times?
Are the government tax credits worth it? Does following anything the government “incentivizes” ever work out for the best interest of consumers or citizens?
Does it make sense to pay a $1000 monthly payment to Tesla Financial, plus nearly twice the national average for insurance, to wait an hour or longer at a Tesla charging station to “fill up” with what is often coal power?
Has Tesla become a consumer symbol of stupidity, depravity, and obnoxiousness in our twenty-first-century late-stage empire clown world?
These are important questions that Good Citizens need answers to, provided by someone who despite an unhealthy bias, will attempt to be objective.
The truth is, I’m revolted by the sight of these buzzing, humming, EMF toxic death traps for total state surveillance and control of individuals’ liberties, and cannot comprehend why anyone would own one.
For now let’s ignore the incredibly stupid high cost of the vehicles, the ridiculous price of repairs and battery replacement which has driven up insurance premiums, the ethical and moral considerations of children in Africa mining elements for those batteries, the lack of aesthetics, the very high levels of sperm and ovum destroying radiation frequencies in the cockpit, the consistently low consumer report ratings, and its dickhead owner (not founder)—the personification of the Dunning-Kruger effect who Blackrock and Vanguard made the richest man in the world (apart from the Rothschilds) by buying up Tesla stock so the market cap of this electric golf cart company was greater than ALL OTHER automobile manufactures combined, and who works for the global cabal of social engineers pushing everything around Agenda 2030—and let’s just focus on those big three reasons consumers claim to buy a Tesla: practicality, cost savings, and “because it’s environmentally friendly.”
“Clean” Energy
An older study recently made headlines again. Since EVs weigh so much more than petrol cars they wear out their tire treads faster. The toxic chemicals released into the air are 400 times worse than petrol exhaust emissions. They probably don’t tell bugmen buyers that on the Tesla lot.
The economics of the climate hoax require a great deal of thought, calculations, projections, and cutting through the bullshit. Thankfully Substack is full of thoughtful and talented people who have already done this work. The globalist ambition to transition to Net Zero (carbon neutral) energy production by 2050 is so economically and civilizationally unfeasible, that anytime anyone uses any of this technocratic jargon they should be immediately laughed out of any room.
. Given the toxic emissions from tire tread wear of EVs are 400x worse than petrol emissions, it’s all one grand delusion.
Enter Austrians
The consumer is the king… his majesty is sovereign in directing all economic activities. By his buying and abstention from buying, he decides about the income of the sellers and about the fate of the producers.
— Ludwig von Mises
In the discourse on economic philosophy, the Austrian School robustly champions the free market as a self-correcting mechanism, underscoring consumer choice as the driver shaping the future of businesses and industries. Figures such as Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, and the precursory insights of Frédéric Bastiat, laid the foundation for a rich understanding of how individual preferences and entrepreneurial spirit naturally guide economic progress, negating the necessity for centralized control.
Within the frame of modern debates on government efforts to direct consumer behavior, particularly through tax credits for consumers or tax subsidies for producers of EVs, the Austrians would be horrified by the levels of omnipresent market manipulation.
Friedrich Hayek stressed that the price system was an essential medium for transmitting information, ensuring resources align with consumer demands. Hayek would view current government incentives as interventions that warp the critical signals of authentic price discovery, resulting in resource misallocation and potentially stifling innovation outside government preferences.
Ludwig von Mises, renowned for championing consumer sovereignty and the role of entrepreneurship, would argue that the market’s voluntary choices should dictate industry success, including that of EVs, rather than government mandates for a fabricated climate emergency.
Mises might see current policies as an erosion of consumer sovereignty, where artificial incentives favor certain technologies, impairing the market’s self-corrective capability and innovation according to true demand.
Frédéric Bastiat, an advocate for economic freedom and minimal government intervention, would perceive the push for EVs as an example of what he termed the “great fiction,” where societal resources are misallocated through state action. Bastiat would warn against the unintended consequences of such policies, pointing to inefficiencies and societal resource misallocation.
The Austrian School championed the market’s ability to self-regulate via supply and demand and enterprise successes driven by consumer choices, not by government decrees or global technocratic agendas.
A truly free market, unhampered by government interference (or Blackrock and Vanguard blackmail), is the optimal setting for discovering efficient and sustainable solutions to challenges, including environmental issues.
The absence of free market dynamics combined with the pervasive nudging of consumer behavior has ensured that the very thing those pushing EVs claim to want to reduce is only increased by their solution. The carbon “footprint” of the lifecycle of EV production, in addition to toxic emissions from tires, is far worse than the very “problem” they set out to solve with petrol emissions.
But when one understands that this “government intervention” was never about clean energy and always about controlling and monitoring citizens and their transportation liberties, then it makes perfect sense why they would want to tie them to their power grids in electric golf carts filled with computers that can be monitored and controlled remotely.
If any remnants of a free market still existed, their self-correcting nature would eventually kick in when businesses began to suffer losses. This would drive demand down, thereby increasing supply and forcing the EV market to correct prices.
It appears this may finally be happening. Ford has discontinued its march toward mass EV production as dealer lots fill up with unwanted EV trucks and cars.
It turns out that nobody wants to wait around charging an EV while on a business trip or holiday. Who could have seen this coming? Not Hertz.
If Hertz dumps all their EVs, that means 34,000 used Teslas will hit the secondhand market, further driving prices down. Who would want to pay $45,000 for a new Model 3, when they can have a slightly used one for half the price?*
The popular consumer products of any period often end up becoming historical placeholders, or visual signifiers for a decade and all its triumphs and travails.
For example, what would Gustave Caibaillot’s Paris Street painting look like with douchey bugmen on electric scooters, and egg-shaped EVs in the cobblestone streets instead of couples walking with umbrellas and horse and buggy?
What would the film American Graffiti have looked like if all those guys were cruising Main Street of Anytown USA in the Tesla Model 3?
“Nobody can beat you John.”
Would John Milner be revving his Telsa engine at the red light next Bob Falfa (Harrison Ford) revving his Chevy Volt engine?
Would it be cool to hear nothing at all when they both hold the brake pedal down while simultaneously tapping the accelerator?
EVs are spectacularly gay, and gay will never be cool.
What will future generations think of this brief experiment with nudging consumers toward electric vehicles that offered them no discernible benefits in any consumer categories (including “clean energy”) over petrol or hybrid versions at substantially greater economic cost?
If future generations of men ever recover any healthy levels of testosterone what will they say when they learn that Dodge ditched their roaring V8 HEMI engine of pure American muscle for spontaneously combustible batteries?
They’ll probably say what I’ve already said: EVs are spectacularly gay, and gay will never be cool.
In that sense, the Tesla is the perfect representation of the times we’re living.
Gay.
Where we are.

Study: EVs release 1,850x more particle pollution than gas-powered cars

And comments from a Fire Fighter about EVs:
“I’ll add more fuel to the fire, we’ve been doing a ton of additional fire fighting/auto extrication training on EV’s over the last couple of years and here’s what we’ve learned.
-You can’t put them out
On a typical auto fire, the fire usually ignites in the engine compartment, making access as simple or difficult (depending on vehicle damage) as popping the hood. Occasionally we’ll see the fire originating from the cab or the rear (fuel tank) area, usually caused by human error/stupidity, freak accidents or arson. All locations are easily accessible and often survivable for potential inhabitants, so long as you’re not incapacitated and/or entrapped by vehicle damage.
With EV’s the fire source is the batteries. Batteries that reside under the floor boards, typically encompassing the whole area of the cab with power lines extending throughout the vehicle. On a regular vehicle we can extinguish a battery fire on EV’s we can neither access nor extinguish a battery fire. It takes thousands of gallons to fight an EV fire so unless there’s a water source nearby, the FD cannot do a thing.
Over the decades the fire service has developed, improved and revised a myriad of equipment, techniques and methods to extricate someone from practically everything. Today most city departments can extricate most passengers within minutes of arriving on scene. As a result, lives are saved. Simple extrication involves popping a door or two, more complex incidents might require removal of the hood and/or raising the dash. The most complex types require ingenuity, trial and error and determination- vehicle positioning, severe vehicle damage, having to go through the floor board (the strongest part) etc come to mind.
EV’s render all of our techniques and methods practically useless, because each EV poses unique hazards. Because we cannot access the batteries we cannot cut power to the vehicle. Some EV’s, like Tesla’s, incorporate emergency shutoff systems and others don’t. Additionally their location/markings etc haven’t been standardized, so locating them becomes another issue altogether.”
