Explains it
Recently I noted that I've never seen ONE Tesla Model 3. I've seen more Studebakers than Teslas.
By the alleged numbers, there should be about 300 Teslas in Spokane. They should be a daily sight if not quite an every-minute sight like Fords. Where are they? I guessed they were all in garages, waiting for Gaian Rapture when electric cars finally become practical. Electric cars and batteries have been actively developed for 110 years, and still no usable cars.
Maybe it's more specific. One of the Tesla skeptics was discussing the progress of Tesla's network of charging stations, which seems to have come to a screeching halt. No new construction in recent months.
The map of existing locations explains the local mystery:
No charging stations in Spokane. The nearest one is in COOOOOOOL Coeur d'Alene. Since construction has stopped, this situation isn't likely to change. Cultists were buying a useless product, betting that their idiot drug-infested** Lord and Saviour would magically make the product useful one day in the Heavenly Future. Lost the bet, fools.
= = = = =
** Drug-infested: It's clear by now that Elon is a crackhead. Presumably he uses only the highest-quality carbon-neutral meth, distilled in secret mountain fortresses in Switzerland and smoked in diamond-encrusted platinum bongs, but nevertheless a crackhead.
Compare this situation to the '50s when all auto execs were blind drunk, falling-down drunk, barely conscious, EXCEPT Romney the Mormon. Romney was the only sober dude in the industry, and his sober judgment pulled a small failing company up to match the big three. He didn't have to be a genius, he only had to be CONSCIOUS while the others were stumbling around. Now the situation is reversed. The other carmakers are led by sober adults and Elon is the only crackhead.
You wouldn't expect the crackhead company to succeed, and it's not succeeding. Elon steals 100-year-old ideas that failed the first time, and finds uniquely stupid ways to make them fail again, but this time they fail COOOOOOOL which is apparently better than plain old failure.
