The feds really don’t like the NRA
Tesla was to race in NASCAR but this blurb amused me:
Industry sources suggest that the reveal was supposed to take place one week later, at the NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway, but with the announcement that the National Rifle Association would be the title sponsor of that race, the federal government decided to move the announcement to Martinsville. “We aren’t sure how many fans would be friendly toward alternative energy at an event sponsored by the NRA,” said the source, “and we have to assume a large percentage of them will be armed.”

They should have checked Texas carry laws. No guns at race tracks.

Look the problem with NASCAR and alternative energy vehicles is the extension cords foul the infield. Plus, the delays every 10 laps or so as the cars have to turn around and go the other way to unwind.
