Hi, I downvoted your comment, but as is customary here I'll lay out why:

  "tesla is rebuilding your infrastructure" <electrek link>
this is categorically false. tesla pr has claimed to be doing "11,000 projects" in PR, the majority of which are likely just solar+powerwall installations. even optimistically this will not add up to 10% of PRs electrical generating capacity. that is also assuming real world numbers approach tesla PR numbers, which has not exactly been the pattern (note: i say this as both a shareholder and a huge believer in the grid storage side of the biz).

  Tesla get so many subsidizes it's not funny.
if you think thats funny, I dare you to calculate out the subsidy values of 11,000 powerall projects and compare that to almost anything else. a single mile of interstate highway is more "subsidized". a single right-of-way for the powerlines between a generating station and a city is more subsidized. if you believe in global warming, a single nat-gas generator is wildly more subsidized.
