Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

There, corrected you

Not exatly as I suggest you go back and read post #69 because I am not going to repeat myself again.

Tesla's batteries are made by Panasonic

May I correct you sir.
My understanding is that Panasonic makes the cells and Tesla makes the modules and packs.
Panasonic invested heavily in Tesla Manufacturing Plants of batteries.
Their customers are not just car companies either as they supply the military complexes around the world.
Like I tried to explain in post #69, Tesla is building 3 gigantic battery factories.

Another Gigafactory is located in New York, another being built by Tesla in Prague where a huge lithium deposit is located.

Once they are up and running we at that time can talk about who has cornered the market on them
As far as the other two replying ex-pat googling experts trying to speak for Poland AGAIN about being experts on any and all subjects (and this certainly is not one of them)........just consider the source.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

a refundable deposit

The deposit is a $1000 times 400,000 people ..........you do the math.

they lost $13k per car sold.

Have to spend a little sometimes to make a lot in the long run.
The three huge battery factories alone is costing Tesla BILLIONS to build so losing only $13k per car sold is chump change.
And it's not lost money, it is re invested money.
These battery factories alone (not including the cars and charging stations that Tesla builds) by 2020 will dominate the world market.....cha ching !

But the problem is that Tesla is struggling to sell the few cars it does actually produce,

Motors CEO Elon Musk declared that the number of hand-raisers for the $35,000-and-up Model 3 had increased to almost 400,000 people, up from 325,000 reservations on April 7.
They can't make them fast enough.

Why the F*** would Poland offer incentives to Tesla?

Ah maybe because of the tax base it would create or the number of good paying jobs for the Polish workers it would create or to stimulate Poland's economy or .................

There will be little market for Tesla cars in Poland.

Ever hear of exporting where people can afford them in the rest of the EU ?

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

the question is who's going to put up the funds for the infrastructure

That is why I was wondering why Poland hasn't offered Tesla a tax break and incentive to invest not only in plants to build cars and batteries but also the charging stations.

Poland will end up buying batteries from Tesla directly along with charging stations in the long haul.
Please fill me in as I don't live in Poland to be a know it all foreigner living in Poland pretending to be Polish.

The Polish government plan to build

The infrastructure will

So Poland is still talking about it while Tesla is cornering the market.

Those of us living in Poland know about such plans.

I don't live in Poland and I know of such plans so I guess you are not quite as smart as you think you are.

Again, my question was why Poland hasn't cashed in on these plans.
Why Poland hasn't given Tesla incentive to invest in Poland.
And that is why my question was purposely not addressed to you because you don't get it.

A little local knowledge goes quite a long way.

To bad your knowledge couldn't answer my question though.

These things are well known to anyone that spends any time in Poland.

You must not spend much time in Poland then not being able to answer my question without googling it for your next step.
My question was:

Poland has a golden opportunity to cash in on some of these opportunities yet sits idle.

Maybe you both are too short to digest my question.
Let me ask it again to simplify it for you.
Why is not Poland producing the physical charging ports, the lithium batteries and electric cars within the country of Poland ?
Why does Poland not give Tesla incentives to put some of their manufacturing in Poland ?
Could anyone one but D.D. and H.B. (they had their chance and blew it) explain this to me since I don't live in Poland.

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]

if that was a condition of having to be part of the EU then you would get a very different response

That is exactly what I am hearing from my Polish friends here in America as they say their relatives back in Poland feel the same way.

Poles have already said that they would rather pay the fine then take in Muslim Immigrants and most likely would reject the EU if it was a requirement.

We can start a thread in Off Topic about stocks,

I bought 200 shares of their stock back in March at $243 per share. (TSLA)

This morning TSLA opened at $362. I'm happy.
Bitcoin mirrors gold (high risk) and is up right now due to the uncertainty of the Asian market (sell off) because of N. Korea.
Back on topic though which is why a Polish Company could not come up with installing charging ports for electric cars in Poland and it's neighboring countries.

Tesla right now is leading in this sector as well as cars and lithium batteries.
Poland has a golden opportunity to cash in on some of these opportunities yet sits idle.
Please fill me on why.

They are certainly attracting attention today with their $1.5bn bond issue.

As your name indicates you are a Polish Investor is that correct ?
Are you invested in the stock market ?

and I'm not convinced they're going to be able to do it.

As little as you know about the subject it really does not surprise me.

So lets bin your silly theory, eh?

So your theory is that middle class people can afford Lamborghini's and Ferrari's, eh ?

I was talking morals which you seem to be lacking.

So it's not just my opinion that jon has morals of an alley cat.
You will never convince Mr. Know It All of that I am afraid.

" he proved two things one he has a moral compass two he is a man.

And then you have these two losers that use cocaine as an unwanted attention tool like Satan would.
If either of them even came near my kids they would walk with a limp the rest of their lives................ if they lived.

Tesla is finally attracting attention in Europe.
It's time Poland jumps in before they miss the boat on this one.
Having Czechoslovakia as a neighbor with huge lithium deposits is an opportunity for Poland.
Germany's new billion dollar battery plant ought to open some eyes.
This is a very interesting article on it.

in Europe we have a more developed social environment, a more joined-up response to social needs.

BALONY !
The kids in the U.S.A. have many many more activities available to them then the European children by far.
Here we go again, a liberals mind never changes, the ony thing a liberal changes is the subject.
Now get your ass back on topic.

it should be possible to talk about this neutrally and without moralising.

Because if it was talked about by moralizing you would be lost.
You know that cocaine use is very destructive to a persons body, mind, family, business, finances, arrest and on and on.
There is no room to be neutral on encouraging cocaine use as you have done.

Actually, it has worked rather well.

Then why are banks still being robbed ?

No, it isn't.

YES it most certainly is.
Just look at inter Chicago kids raised without a father role model for example.
jon, you are all wet with your progressive propaganda.

No it isn't.

Oh o.k., it's not.
I forgot, you Brits are running this forum. lol

Or simply acknowledge that some people will use them, that criminalisation hasn't worked,

Criminalization for bank robber hasn't worked either so simply acknowledge that some people will do it is your rational.
My rational is that I am not going to suggest that bank robbers should go to a country with the most lenient laws for bank robbery to encourage them like you did with your cocaine encouragement.

Isn't our job as older men to teach younger men right from wrong ?
Isn't a vacation for getting away from your normal routine to relax ?
Cocaine sure the hell isn't a drug of choice that the OP is looking for to make one relax plus illegal drug use is wrong.

You jon are just playing the devil's advocate knowing damn well if the OP got caught with cocaine in Poland that it is going to ruin a part of his life.

stop trying to project American hyper-sensitivity onto Europeans.

Quit trying to run my life and go jump in the nearest lake.
More like you three non Polish Europeans projecting your ilk on Poland and America.
This is an American run forum about Poland so if you don't like it stick to ATP.

focus on the topic please

Some of us don't feel the need to preach.

You mean you don't like to hear that you are wrong.

Certainly more than you will ever have.

Only in your dreams jon.
I think we are done here as the conclusion has been reached.
You support the use of illegal drugs and I do not.
I stand for everything that you stand against and visa versa.
Guess we will have to wait for judgment day to find out who was right and who was wrong.

Correct, drugs have no morals and neither do you.

People use them anyway

Does that mean it's your job to encourage them to break the law ?

I know you wouldn't because you have no morals.
I on the other hand I would do all I could to guide a younger person to the right road of life to keep him safe and out of trouble.

sensible pointers

Telling him to go to Czech were the laws are not so stiff is not a sensible pointer, it is an encouragement to use illegal drugs.

Telling him to stay away from drugs period is a sensible pointer.

Intentionally encouraging drug use may fall under one of them.
Or at the least revoke an ex-pats citizenship as an undesirable.

Let's discourage him so he doesn't get into any unnecessary trouble.......What ya say jon, ya with us or against us ?

I wouldn't want to see him in a Polish prison cell, so yes.

Ah good then you are with us...........or wait, you say you are but in reality you are not.

If he's really desperate, he can come Czech where it's easy to buy.

So you are not with us to encourage the kid to stay out of trouble then by encouraging with support of other avenues to cop cocaine.

This is why your Progressive thinking is so unwelcomed here jon, you insist on destroying instead of edifying the young adults here.
Poland should deport people like you that want to destroy it's society.

Yet cocaine is frquently used in many 'civilised' societies.

Name three where it is legal.

Criminalising it just doesn't work.

Yet it sure helps encourages people to make the wise choice so they don't become a burden to society.
Liberals don't change their minds, they just change the subject which was they have to turn to a criminal life to support their addictions.

for some people there is never enough.

And these people either end up in prison or dead.
johnny reb

Life / Drugs in Warsaw [111]

The high cost is because of the legal status.

O.k., got ya now.
The end product however, even if it was free, would not be acceptable in any civilized society because of it's effects.
Cocaine is a drug that always promises but never gets you there.......you need more and more and more and it is never enough while alcohol will eventually get you there so you have had enough.

and actually think about the situation.

Don't have to think about it jon, I have experienced enough first hand with family and friends of the only two end results of drugs and alcohol addiction which are either prison or death.

That sounds like something from the Daily Mail.

No jon, I have seen it first hand in Jamaica with the poor kids.

most intoxicating substances is a few pennies per gram.

Unfortunately that is not the case with cocaine now is it

Who said anything about "enriches".

You are promoting the use of these class one narcotics in Poland as children's play so they seem harmless and acceptable to the Polish and European youth that read your Progressive Propaganda here.

Now grow up and knock it off.

One key thing though, the poorer people cant afford much of any quality

Therefore they have to turn to a criminal life to support their addictions.

If everything was legal, there'd be no crime.

Oh B.S. jon, if an addictive drug was legal and the poor could not afford to support their habit they would turn to a criminal life to do it.

Your quote is most laughable.
Let me rephrase it for you, "if bank robbery, murder, rape, home invasion were legal there would be no crime." LOL
jon you are smarter then that and no doubt are sitting at your job bored out of your head and just want get a rise out of dolnoslask to have someone to argue with.

You used the same tactic when you tried to promote your Progressive Thinking about homosexuality in Poland propaganda.
Drugs (cocaine) is a very dangerous drug that has killed many people, destroyed their families, lost their businesses and cost people who do not do it a lot of heartache, money and quality of life because of people who have got addicted.

SO before you tell us again how cocaine "enriches" Poland's nightlife culture please think again what you are promoting here to these kids.
