Hat tip to Small Dead Animals: We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Cars
When Tesla introduced its first model, which was a sport coupe based on a body from Lotus, I hated the idea of tax subsidies. Back then, we were taking tax money from working-class individuals and giving it to people buying a $125,000 car with two seats and no trunk that they might drive on the weekend, if the weather wasn't too bad. That was evil.
