Musk Hints At A Compact More Affordable Model To Make Total Domination Complete

The US power grid can handle about 15 million EV's then we are toast and have to figure out how to charge all the electric cars that everyone is trying to build to compete with "Muscla", how is that going to work? Dominating a fraction of the total on the road fleet is great, but that is a finite number once the realities of the power grid are taken into consideration.

Good think Tesla is working on that too then, right?
The number is a wildly varying estimate and does not take into account the gradual change in both EV adoption and grid decarbonization. Those EVs won't appear overnight and when they do the grid will not be the same as the one today.

I bet that doesn't include energy saved by powering down all of the gas stations or the energy required to transport gas, or the fact that not everyone charges at the same time or ever every day, or that solar capacity is quickly growing, or the battery grid storage can double our current electrical capacity, or that EVs are getting more efficient over time, or that battery sizes are increasing reducing the frequency of chargers. This is a total non-issue.

Being optimistic is great, being stupid is ignorant. Closing gas stations will not put more power into the US energy grid. 1) hotter climate = more electricity to cool homes and buildings. 2) more electric cars with super-fast charging during peak energy times = less for everything else. Solar capacity in USA = 15 million homes as I type, with a growth of 8-9% per year, WHILE coal fired electric plants are closing, so no, ZERO gain in total output for the grid. A touch more than a NON-ISSUE. Total re-new-able power sources in USA = 16.5%. Coal = 33% of the total, Natural gas = 33%, Nuclear = 19.8%, so are you going to support more gas or coal burning to drive an electric car? Nuclear is not growing, Coal is not growing, renewable + storage can't grow fast enough to offset the public demand to get coal off the power grid. so DIPSHIT and the non issue, where the F&C# is all the electricity coming from with global warming creating more demand and electric cars over 15m head count pulling down the ability of the grid to supply your computer let alone your car? NON Issue, okay, more like dipshit buried his head in the sand and HOPED someone will fix the inconvenient truth.

Musk is a genius not only in engineering but marketing! Run 4 companies simultaneously too!

There are plans for a smaller ~$25kish car, but I hope they don't build it and instead focus on making the Model 3 less expensive. A hatchback version is a good start.
