What a defeatist and cynical attitude to take.
So the question is 'why would you want to invest in cleaner and safer technologies?'. Of course, you don't have to but then you're justifiably criticising VAG for deliberately cheating us all because we all accept that our cars aren't really that great, so they felt the need to cheat in order to satiate that desire for cleaner and more efficient cars........while also criticising Tesla (and bizarrely me too) for taking an interest in something a bit different ie cleaner and more economical cars?! The option to charge a car from solar power and a battery in your house exists. If that goes against your moral compass, fine, all I'm saying is that I find it very interesting.
As for why I find it very interesting, AFAIK the invasion of Iraq and all the atrocities that we are still defending ourselves from as a result of it, didnt happen because the US and it's waggie- tailed allies felt the need to invade, protect and extract...... their solar panels. But why let that stop your ox carts of logic from ploughing ever onwards into yet more of the same BS, when you can buy cars from companies who go out of their way to change the status quo? Bit of a moral cul-de-sac you made for yourself.
"Reduce Your Electricity Bill
In the United Kingdom, the price you are paid for the excess solar power your home generates is lower than the price you pay for electricity from the utility grid. Given this rate structure, it is more cost effective to consume your solar power than to sell it back to the utility. By storing your home's surplus power and using it when you would otherwise need to pull from the grid, Powerwall minimises your net spending." Teslamotors.com
