@pollenman81 @KaitMarieox I feel betrayed and angry at the legacy MSM propaganda outlets for lying to the people and feel sorry for the left who have been drinking their coolaid and believe their BS.

@KaitMarieox You’re in an echo chamber and a real life bubble. Average conservative Americans feel betrayed and angry

X is not real life. MAGA is doing just fine 🇺🇸

@PapaGulfTG @niccruzpatane It's .00 cents per kWh when unavailable for 2 to 3 weeks after each hurricane. About .19c per kwh if I had to buy it. They pay us apx 5c per kWh for excess power we have "banked" at years end. $30 per month for a 2-way meter connection to the grid. Apx 500+ per month b4 solar.

@ItsBread1111 @niccruzpatane I heard you, but your power in FL is cheap.

Tesla’s new Solar Panels are now available to order, and they’re beautiful. ☀️ • 420W • 25 Year Warranty • Low Profile Installation with no visible fasteners. • Uses same cascading cell technology as Tesla’s Solar Roof cells to create 18 power zones (3x more than conventional panels). • 33% faster installation by using a groove-based frame system for streamlined assembly. • 71.1” x 44.7” x 1.57” (including frame)

@gearedandready We "chose" powerwalls because we typically get outages of 2 to 3 weeks during hurricanes. And, the panels still produce some energy on cloudy days. Our last outage lasted 17 days during and after a hurricane, and no problems other than conserving energy at night.

Exactly you have to have a Powerwall, and if you have multiple cloudy days during an outage, you don't have a means for auxiliary charging of your batteries. You have to install a transfer switch between the PW and your meter. The PW then sees the GenPower as grid and will charge. Almost all modern Hybrid Inverters support this natively. PW is for grid tied.

@PapaGulfTG @niccruzpatane When shopping for our panels, we got 4 estimates. (Panels and installation) Tesla was the lowest estimate. This was in 2017 in central Florida.

@niccruzpatane Who cares? PV should be a cost savings not decoration. Tesla Solar is too expensive and is only cool for showing off tech. It's niche.

@BradleyInKona Not true. We have Tesla panels and Solar Edge inverters.

@niccruzpatane But them where? I bet you can't just buy "panels". Everything will have to be Tesla, the whole system.

@jonathan_23710 @niccruzpatane We got 4 estimates for our solar panels. Tesla was the least expensive. That was in 2017 in Central Florida.

@niccruzpatane Probably 10 times as expensive as established Chinese manufacturers… only makes sense for cult members to buy these panels

@gearedandready @niccruzpatane We have Tesla solar panels and powerwalls. Going off grid is just a matter of one touch of a button on the app.

@niccruzpatane You can't order them, you have to order a Powerwall. Which is an appliance designed to keep you grid dependent. PW doesn't even support generator input for extended outages.

@massrepublican @wholemars "No proof of longivity" Would that opinion be based on the "million mile test" that the model 3 engine design passes easily with hardly any wear, without the need for oil changes, tune-ups, etc?

Yeah now, who knows how out of hand it’ll get? All the model 3/Y that got deployed onto the roads still don’t have any proof of longevity. They’re all 8 years old max Being a tech company people also want the newest and best Tesla. Well people are gonna have to drive a 2020 Model Y in 2045 if they want to be comparable to the sustainability and reliability of Toyota

Tesla: We are making an affordable EV Industry: We are going to do that too!!! *Ten years later* Industry: Never mind!!! We are shutting those lines down Tesla: We are making an affordable autonomous vehicles Industry: We are going to do that too!!!

@AlwinLook @massrepublican @wholemars True . And you can't judge the cars they are producing today with the ones produced 20 years ago. Designs change, motors change, and every new car built today has to "earn it's own track record"

@massrepublican @ItsBread1111 @wholemars Since the company isn't 2 decades old yet, the comparison can't be made until that day comes. As long as the car lasts longer than the duration a person wants to hold the same car, those people will be satisfied.

@michaelmalice Something looks oddly familiar about that photo...

I figured out how to get the cactus out of the gutter but I didn't figure out how to stick the landing

@massrepublican @wholemars Agree. I bought a Tundra and a Sequoia in 2001, and another Tundra and a Tesla in 2018. The 2001 Toyotas both had major cooling system failures, and the 2018 Tundra water pump failed at 56k miles, both gas hogs, oil changes every 5k miles, tune ups , serpentine belts, etc.

@ItsBread1111 @wholemars I think all cars have their own use cases. I’m just saying no Tesla is even 2 decades old yet. We just have yet to see how it will play out that’s all

@massrepublican @wholemars We plan on driving it tillthe wheels fall off. So, far, it's been THE MOST dependable, maintenance free vehicle I've owned since 1978. AND, I make my own fuel at home, so there's no depending solely on oil companies like you prefer. Ever run out of gas looking for gas? I have.

@massrepublican @slowdownhoss @wholemars Time will tell. The batteries have shown to have the most degradation in the first year, and sharply tapering off after that. And, it's not only gas savings, but ultra low maintenance costs. I've owned Tundras and Sequoias since 2001, and know the high maintenance costs.

8 years is not 25-30 though. How do you think your Model 3 is going to hold up in 2043 when it’s 25 years old? You don’t know you can’t claim you know the future. It’s just a question mark right now I see 2001 and older Toyotas/Hondas every day. There’s data there, Tesla just doesn’t have it yet. Years need to go by Definitely sounds like the batteries are gonna degrade down to 100 miles by then or you’ll need expensive replacements that eat up any gas savings you thought you had

@massrepublican @wholemars

@massrepublican @wholemars Name just ONE landfill that accepts and buries Tesla batteries. You can't. Just because YOU throw your old batteries in the trash can instead of recycling them doesn't mean Tesla batteries are illegally dumped in the landfil.

@massrepublican @wholemars

Teslas are leased golf carts that are returned after 3 years Chances are you saw a late 90s/early 00s Toyota/Honda while driving today. They’re still driving and chugging along just fine How is an OG 2012 Tesla Model S going to be holding up in 2040? No one knows, but we need people willing to drive these outdated models like an old Toyota or Tesla is absolutely a fad. Landfills of degrading batteries

@PeterDClack @DebTreister

Every cow on earth is a closed CO₂ loop. Herbivores do not create additional CO₂ or methane. They are CO₂ neutral. Cattle are the world's great grazers and bulk and roughage feeders. Without them, vast areas of global farmland would soon begin to atrophy into mostly lifeless unproductive topsoil, devoid of essential nutrients and bacteria. The carbon cows emit today was pulled out of the air via the grass it ate only months before. It's a constant rolling ledger with no new carbon being added to the global system. Cattle harvest CO₂ from the air via the grass they eat - then use it for energy before returning it to the soil and sky - to be used again and again. There is nothing left over to threaten the planet. This is the biological miracle of CO₂ being recycled. Cattle are not a new source of CO₂ or methane. Through photosynthesis, plants convert atmospheric carbon into carbohydrates (cellulose). Cows eat the grasses, which are cellulose, and through digestion eventually return that carbon to the atmosphere as CO₂ and methane. There is no CO₂ or methane left over to destabilise the atmosphere. Within roughly a decade, the methane breaks back down into CO₂, which the next season’s grass breathes in again.

@slowdownhoss @massrepublican @wholemars Our 8 year old Tesla model 3LR has been doing fine for the last 140k miles. Starts instantly every time. The 12v car battery died after 6 years, and cost $90 to replace. Main battery started with 315 mi range, and now has 289 mi range fully charged. Had to change coolant once

@massrepublican @wholemars It’s not rare at all to see a Tesla that is 10+ years old still on the road. They have far less maintenance issues in that time. Why isn’t every car on the road from the 90s? Idiot.

@grok @M_Zot_ike @bv9122 @ImBreckWorsham Agree 👍 Sometimes it takes a long drawn out conversation to get the real facts. Still my main source. Otherwise, Perplexity is the only "Center-right" AI that I have found.

Your article claims: DOJ missed the Dec 19 2025 deadline after the Epstein Files Transparency Act signing; the Jan 30 2026 release miscoded and withheld specific unsubstantiated 2019 Trump-accusation FBI 302s as "duplicative"; those were released only Mar 6 after scrutiny exposed errors; and the delays plus redactions/offline files prove deliberate agency collusion to fake legal handling while hiding the most criminal cover-up ever to protect powerful figures.

Trump is now suggesting that anyone criticizing the war in Iran on social media, including journalists, be charged with treason and imprisoned. Thoughts?
