“Why’s it look like that?”

I’m surprised that is actually satisfactory. I always take those “concierge” service offers with a grain of salt. You’re still relying on the local dealer.

Where I live (rural Ohio) there are tons of trucks around. Mostly because everyone is too fat to fit in an Accord, not because they haul stuff in their trucks. I’ve never seen so many tonneau covers that I bet never come off.

This is highly surprising. Surprising the proposed NC law isn’t to mandate that gas vehicles take up all EV spots.

He strangely argued there’s no way to know if an EV driver is actually using the space to charge a vehicle.

“A parking fine in my county is $5!” First off, lol, I doubt that. Second off, oh, parking costs five bucks, that sounds like a great deal.

Exactly. This isn’t the normal inconsiderate parking type situation that deserves a light whack of the ruler across the hand, this is intentional MAGA climate-denier bullshit malice to prevent EV drivers from charging up. $500 might, might be enough to sting enough to make the bros think twice.

My local downtown charger was *always* ICE’d on big holiday events, which was annoying for smaller range EVs who actually depended on it to get home. I’m friends with city officials and worked with them on establishing a fine, they didn’t want to scare away tourists or create ripples, turns out a sign with threat of a …

Meanwhile, in Florida, they’re going to make it illegal for electric vehicles to park at and use EV chargers.

$100 is cheap enough to bait a bunch of diesel bros who want to attention to got park and get fined so they can post it on their social.

“failure rate of around 7 percent in the U.S., compared to 1 percent in Europe”

Someone else mentioned that Ford runs a filter that has to be replaced every 2 years. Maybe that’s the difference.  Dunno

Stellantis/BMW’s fault for not spec’ing the correct fuel pump.

The previous CP3 was fine with North American fuel. The CP4 is failing - and it’s the fuel’s fault? Ram has gone back to the CP3 for a reason.

hey now, ford replaced it with a filter that get’s clogged and needs to be replaced every two years!

This isn’t on our diesel, this is on Bosch. They failed to account for our garbage fuel. I’d buy it if other manufacturers were experiencing failures. Bosch switched Ram to a new pump back in 2018 ish and after 3 years of brand new trucks eating thier own fuel system they switched us back to the Old design, which has…

Or the auto manufacturers chose a pump supplier that didn’t meet the requirements of the fuel.

true! and EU fuel regs found a way to replace it while US fuel regs just sorta shrugged

BUT at the end of the day Bosch did not design a suitable pump to meet the requirements of our fuel.  It would be nice to have better fuel, but that is not the case.

The ending is rough but that movie rules so hard
