“Likely not enough to get all of them back to full charge before they go home.”

I would be genuinely shocked if more than 25% of ‘the masses’ know what TCO is, how to calculate it, and actually go through the effort to do so. If people were rational car buyers on a national scale, 3-row SUVs & trucks probably would not have replaced mini vans and sedans at the scale they have. 

Careful with using math and logic around the internets or you’re going to get accused of being a corporate shill. CEO’s make an easy target but giving everybody in the company an extra $10 a week isn’t going to solve anything. The union should be hammering profit sharing increases because like you said they’re all…

Back in college, 30+ years ago, I took an early morning class in Macro Economics, which I slept through.

The focus on CEO salaries is probably good for their PR, and definitely taps into the “eat the rich” mentality...but paying them $1 isn’t going to solve the problem.

“a couple of M1s showing up and a couple of shells to the “militia bunkers”

and or we have vehicle inspections like the German TUV. 

The way to shut this down would be to find a path to seize the trucks altered and publicize the hell out of that. Demand for this sort of shit would instantly crater, like it did for illegally imported Land Rovers (where they used VINs of old Land Rovers from junk yards to “launder” the illegal imports - that was a…

ONLY a 1 million dollar fine? I’m guessing these diesel shops made 100X that selling shit that enabled diesel owners to break emissions laws.

My only takeaway from this story is that Ryan is a complete moron.

I used to think the same thing.

Did this dude willingly tell his story to news outlets? I would not be going public with this type of situation..... or does he actually think he’s the victim here?

So rather than put the “soot and contaminates into their engine” they put it in the air we breath. Yeah that’s great. 

Well, let’s consult the DOJ’s press release:

Not only that, but now they have the records of these modified vehicles and they should be targeting these people as well. Of course there’s going to be some legit people out there, but nevertheless, those “ bro’s” who had the bright idea that it was ok to do this, need to be punished as well. Maybe taking pictures of…

The fine should be $20K+ per modified vehicle instead of a flat fine and the proceeds should go to a legitimate fund that benefits the environment.  That would help to make things right.

If you had bothered to read the post, you would have seen that CNN got those people from “Dr. Kevin Foster, director of burn services at the Arizona Burn Center at Valleywise Health.”

I find it hard to believe there is not one fast charger in any metropolitan area in this country.

1. Even for the few Americans who have the money for a new car, EVs are expensive.

Why does she hate America? Why does she drive a Japanese car instead of an American car? Is she saying America is great, except for the auto industry? Questions that run through my head when I see these folks running around with stickers like this but plastered over foreign brands. I guess because they are built here…
