Maybe it’s time we nationalize our infrastructure. Railroads, telecom, electric grid. The capitalists have jerked us around nonstop

Agree. Let's start with Tesla!

At least the charging network. We can buy it off Tesla no problem (we already have them a $17 million down payment).

Then start printing up new stickers to cover the Tesla logos.

I don’t even own an EV and I support funding this. It’s probably cheaper than the existing charger network plan anyway and would allow actually standardizing around the smaller smarter Tesla plugs too.
