ICEs are ice cold; and, getting colder
Hello all:
I am an inventor and an environmentalist and having to use ICE (internal combustion engine) mobiles to get around just never did set with me well.
I recently had to drop (sell off) my two gas guzzling ICE trucks, both 2011's. The cost of fuel (gasoline) alone, for each, starting exceeded the monthly payments, by far. The costs of insurance, maintenance, and registration, kept going up, too. I didn't shed a tear. I always knew that day would come. I remember when I first went to college at Mt. SAC, in Walnut California, back in '72', only paying 75 cents to fill up my motorcycle, once or twice a week. I bought that Yamaha 250 for only $300 used.
The most amazing thing about Tesla Motors (to me) is that it exist, at all. All my life people kept telling me not to waste my time inventing that thing because the oil and automobile companies won't allow it. Even today, as I am inventing that thing, I am still being told not to; and, for the same reason. They say; "No one will buy it from you or invest in it's development because the oil and automobile companies won't allow anyone to buy it from you or invest in it's development." For the longest time, I believed them but, now, I am beginning to think otherwise.
Tesla Motors is my inspiration. I don't think I would have wasted my time inventing that thing had it not been for Tesla Motors.
Thanks,
Dan
