Typical Ford response. “Let’s just try to sweep it under the rug and the problem will disappear on its own.”

Millions worth of inventory in a holding lot and they couldn't spend $100 on a couple of cameras and motion sensor flood lights. 

are Tesla people bummed out about the Ford and GM riff-raff taking up spaces at the chargers?

Funny, wall outlets are the first thing that came to my mind as well. I mean, can you imagine having to take an outlet adapter with you to work because your house is on the other side of the state line dividing two states with different voltages?

The United States federal government prefers CCS, too, probably because it’s preferred by virtually every other EV maker that isn’t Tesla

Except here, NACS is superior to CCS in the US. Your analogy to lightning is not accurate as lighting does not have the same technical performance as USB C and USB C is a mess as there are multiple standards under that umbrella. NACS is easier to handle, smaller and less prone to breakage. Combines L2 and DC Fast…

Comedy of errors, really. Not only were the vehicles stolen from Ford and never reported, but...

14 Ford F-150 pickups totaling over $1 million

Your issue is more that these companies are giving people the option to buy less efficient vehicles/engines, not that they don’t offer more efficient choices.

“I fail to see a problem with this plan.” - US Congress

There must be better ways. Whether it’s a few million or a trillion, that cost just gets added on to the bill Fracans and Mahas pay when buying the next product from that company.  

“[As] we work towards the goal of a zero-emission future, we may use a combination of credits from prior model years, expected credits from future model years, credits obtained from other manufacturers, and payment of civil penalties to comply with increasingly stringent CAFE regulation.”

This really makes me feel tons of sympathy for the dealers and I’m super glad they have such strong protections across the US. 

This is the truth — if you get saved from a single low speed accident with an AEB system, it pays for itself.

Looks like this could be a boon to autonomous driving companies. While AEB is extremely low skill on the autonomous front, this could be seen as a start of the NHTSA requiring more autonomous capabilities. Will lane keep assist or adaptive cruise be next? Will the future unknown of BAC testing laws require that a car…

maybe we don't need to be slapping url's over everything, perhaps?

Fun fact: The State of Florida license plates have always lead to a sketchy gambling site!
