Future News — Dateline February 14th, 2030

… With anchor Jane Curtin III. Tonight’s top story… The last automobile powered by an internal combustion engine was sent to the salvage yard today. We will have film at 11:00pm showing a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado convertible being towed into Monster Joe’s Auto & Trucks Dismantlers in Los Angeles, California. The car had been hidden in the bunker of a decommissioned Air Force Base ever since President Trump signed into law a bill confiscating all gasoline-powered vehicles from citizens during his third term in office.

Remember The Tesla Death Watch? (Hahaha)

Tesla was on a “death watch” nearly one decade ago. News coverage and editorials frequently postulated Tesla’s coming demise. “It couldn’t produce cars,” said some critics. “No one wanted its cars,” skeptics claimed. “Its cars broke down around every turn,” liars lied. “Where would people charge? Where could the cars be fixed?” The barriers to success were many and large.

“Stop Tesla” = Hilarious

Pollution from fossil fuels is slowly but surely endangering every person on earth. One way to reduce the threat level would be to stop burning the gasoline that makes the automobiles we drive go. The Tesla Model 3 is the harbinger of the future — an affordable midsize car that uses no gasoline at all. Production in set to begin just two months from now, and although Tesla won’t say how many reservations it has for the car, the best guess among those who follow the company closely seems to be very close to half a million.
