Comment Re:No more Tesla cars shipped to Hawaii (Score 1) 48
I'm a bit surprised this isn't making more news. https://www.hawaiipublicradio....
Because of federal and state laws in place the shipping company Matson has an effective monopoly on cars brought to Hawaii. Electric cars have been growing in popularity in the state, as indicated in the article I linked to, but this should make people wonder how long that lasts if the one company that has been bringing EVs to the state decides they won't bring any more to the islands.
If Elon Musk wants to protect his market for electric vehicles then maybe he needs to work out how they are to be shipped over the sea safely.
Just make sure they're sealed adequately and drive them across the ocean. After all, Elon Musk says that a Tesla will float (for a while).
Alternatively, the Boring Company could build a tunnel under the Pacific ocean from the Bay Area and just drive them over there. At one mile per week, they'll be done in only about 47 years.
