Haha! Tesla opened network to all competitors. Just the opposite of what you allege.
Seems like President Musk would have a problem with this action by the administration....

So you stand corrected, right? Stop repeating the lie that ‘EVs arent paying fair share’ going forward.
LOL! Those are state taxes. We're talking about the federal gas taxes.
Electric cars need different tires for four reasons:
That adds up to a triangle under tension, balancing grip for performance, low rolling resistance for efficiency and good tread wear for value. You can balance those, or you can decide one is more important to you and stretch out the equilateral triangle that way.
- EVs can weigh a thousand pounds more so their tires have to shoulder that while still delivering good tread wear and not folding up when cornering.
- EVs torque their tires. A Hummer EV accelerates as fast as a Ferrari Roma while weighing more than two of whatever you drive now. Even the Chevy Bolt has the same torque as a late model V6 Mustang.
- EVs are shrouded in our range neuroses, so their tires have to take part in extending range by using low-rolling resistance designs.
- EVs are quiet. When you get rid of engine noise, you start noticing tires noise in a big way. It needs to be minimal and tuned to be pleasant.
Here's What to Look for in New Tires for Your Electric Car
EVs are spawning a new age of tires that you need to know about.www.cnet.com
Talking about the bloated monstrosity Hummer EV. Outliers don’t speak to the issue.
Heavy duty oversized and overweight ICE trucks need oversized tires too.
A mileage-based road user fee would require some type of tracking device to be installed on vehicles. The tinfoil types would lose their mind.
That’s not what I “alleged” at all. Tesla owns and gets paid for their charging network. They decide how much it costs, whether there will be discounts, and could eventually restrict access.
It’s a big disincentive to buy from competitors. What if he changes his mind once he doesn’t need the business?
Whine moves into dumb shit justification. Nothing there suggests an EV is more destructive to roads than an ICE passenger ride.Electric cars need different tires for four reasons:

I saw a Tesla hit a retaining wall in December. A similarly-sized ICE vehicle wouldn't have caused the same damage to the wall, all else being equal.
