1 of the successful business's like Tesla do not advertise much at all. No commercials, magazine ads, YT ads, etc... Yet he sells out of inventory quarterly.  Elon doesn't force his product on anyone, but instead creates a very good product that people who don't even care about going green buy.  This is how you sell EV's.  Not by raising prices on gas or forcing it on them by guilt tripping and saying stuff about climate change.

Elon knows economics, unlike others who think they understand it, but do not. #needsarefund

Great 👍 more use of Public transport.   I would love to end up like Tokyo and never have to drive again. 

Also might lead to more adoption of solar.  When the sun is out and the heat is the worse you get the most electricity.

It may seem counter-intuitive, but solar panel efficiency is affected negatively by temperature increases. 
Photovoltaic modules are tested at a temperature of 25 degrees C (STC) – about 77 degrees F., and
depending on their installed location, heat can reduce output efficiency by 10-25%.  As the temperature
of the solar panel increases, its output current increases exponentially, while the voltage output is reduced
linearly. In fact, the voltage reduction is so predictable, that it can be used to accurately measure temperature. 

As a result, heat can severely reduce the solar panel’s production of power...

Have you ever been to Tokyo?  I don't think you could afford living there.

As already posted, heat does NOT produce more electricity from solar panels.  It's the opposite.  But you never let actual facts get in the way of your lectures, do you?

Oh and before someone pipes in with Japan has free health care, that's true and it's really gross, for such a clean country, free clinics are dirtier than Love Hotels. Folks only use them to get a doctor's note or a quick prescription. Real health care they pay for a real doctor at a real hospital, not a grubby dusty room with shag carpet from the 70s. And medical equipment from the 60s.

I was waiting to pick someone up from a root canal in the Ala Moana building so I walked thru the mall to burn time, I went into the Tesla store and a SMOKING HOT chick talked to be for a solid 30 mins answering questions about the tech. Never once did she go salesman  push to get me to buy, I guess they figure the product sells itself if you are interested in an EV. Local Service was their biggest issue and they knew it, didnt try to hide it.

The chick was surprisingly knowledgeable about all the mechanical questions I had (electric braking, cornering assist via speed controllers at the motors etc etc). They make a decent product, and they know they are gouging early adopters to push forward into affordability. They are literally paying 10s of thousands of extra dollars for better software in the iPad brain running the car, nothing more.

Edit - I am surprised that there aren't entrepreneurial dweebs selling thumb drives to reflash the bios to hotrod the lower end models into top tier.  That's the end of the Fast & Furious franchise when they do.

Military members who marry a Japanese spouse often wind up spending thousands to have US dentists fix the dental work performed by Japanese dentists.

Dental healthcare in Japan is extremely poor.  But I guess it's "free" (if you don't understand where the government gets its revenue).

Used to go every other year....

I know this might surprise you, but when its hot out most of the time its also sunny... What is the sun good for?  Solar?
