Not to worry, the nepotism shielded yes men left behind will turn it all around.
That's very sad news
I wonder if they realize that in less than 2 months, Nov 8th >>>>>>>>>> the big republican push & BIDUMBS power limited to 20% then>> and oil/natural gas pipelines opened back up and steel plants necessary to even make the green energy panels & windmill products?
I wonder if they realize that come 2024, that the New Pres will waive his magic wand to open all back that BIDUMB closed down his 1st day of his Presidency /.
In total truth, we absolutely do not have the necessary infrastructure to plug cars/trucks in>>> THAT is A BIG 10 / 4
Just think of "" millions """ of homes with vehicles that can only park curbside on the street, OOP'S?
iF there is an answer to this, the Chinese have been off and running with it for three years now.
They are in 5 countries with it >>> right now.
What you say >>>>> Company is called KIO I believe.
This would work in the US, not like 99% of convenience and all fuel stations that can't park trucks and cars on their lots to charge >> THAT IS A BIG 10/4 too
But the Chinese have got around that in a simple and efficient way.
You drive up on a fixed station of sorts they have, a machine automatically changes the battery>>> 90% fully charged with new battery in 5 minutes>>> THAT IS A BIG 10/4 also..
You trade your empty battery, via a machine>> and you pay a monthly fee, which allows up to to 1500 miles per month.
As I write they are working on Germany, Sweden, Denmark and more to import the vehicles in.
One might say, that Ford might want to reevaluate their position, THAT'S A BIG 10 / 4 also,
Crazy sh-- going on.
Respectfully,
John

I saw a video on this nearly 10 years ago. You drove up and a robot changed the battery. The car needed to designed to use their battery pack. The robots were laser guided and you sat in your car while the battery was swapped. You got charged by the difference in charge between the battery you dropped off and the one they installed. Plus the change fee. The rates took into account battery life and added a small % for that too.
Also on the video was induction charging. Touted as the future since you could just park your car at a spot in your garage, parking lot or even on the street over a charging point and presto the very inefficient method would top up your car.
Right now at most of the charging stations you need to swipe a credit card or have an app so you can pay. They want to make it so the system recognizes your car when you plug it in and deducts (or charges) the fee from your prepaid account. Can't you see .gov tracking your travel or deciding you've driven too many miles this month so you can't go to the beach this weekend because someone else needs the juice?
ELON introducing the new TESLA H model.
Oop's
He has the car built.
One version is V 8
No emissions at all.
Maybe he figured out that there is no infrastructure and now hi is ahead of the curve>>> like Toyota ?
There are over 100 Hydrogen stations in California right now.
As talked about in the other post, convenience stores can't do Electric stations.
BUT, an instant Hydrogen supply building is maybe 12 ft X 14 ft, easily fits into a typical convenience store lot.
PLUS, 5 minute fill up>>>>
NOW WHAT ?
Is ELON far smarter than the two women at GM and Ford ?

It doesn't need to be the government. GM does a pretty good job at looking at the history of the car stored in the CPU now for "waranty reasons".
The ACLU already won a settlement with GM on blocking them from reading the speed of the vehicle. Initially the software did.
Here NYS has been posting "traffic cameras" at "critical locations" on the "highways".
It is being used for identifying violating vehicles that are not actually being observed by law enforcement officers. Here, they can't accuse the driver of violating the law without being "confronted by the accuser, i.e., a real live person BUT they can send you a ticket in the mail without tagging the drivers license like they do with red lights.
I haven't heard of any of the rice rocket guys bitchin' that they got tickets in the mail for 175 in a 55 but I wouldn't be shocked when it happens.

Doug:
Here in SoCal, the red light and speed cameras were the big thing about 10-15 years ago. But, after a while, there were enough court cases where the infraction was dismissed, and some group (possibly ACLU) got them declared unconstitutional (IIRC).
In recent years, cities have either removed or disabled them. Some CA cities still do use them, I believe. The revenue they generate must be more than enough to have $$ set aside for the potential legal problems.
I'm more concerned about the coming OBDIII, and its invasion of privacy and other freedoms.

HAS anybody here received any "notifications" that their VISA card was bought by a HUGE vacuum called TCM bank ?
They have bought up many VISA accts at banks all over the US.
They told me that I must agree to allow my information to be shared with their other parent companies.
Who in the hell are they ?
Same basic game as above, am I wrong in my assumption.?

That is probably true.
Just us typical US citizens, we are no good don't you know.
That TCM bank told me I could opt out from a information release, have to write a letter, but my new card would not be activated?
WHAT kind of sense does that make.
I have had my card for 17 years, never a glitch.
FURTHERMORE, my new credit card number does not reflect my superb credit history, only bad if I had it>
I give up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So yes, chipos and forfeit everything you do.

Now, BOZO just announced he is doing hydrogen for all his over the road trucking>> millions of miles.
Keeping his RIVIAN deal & fleets for all local in town and rural delivery.
I bet Musk knew this too, as he just introduced the TESLA H
Those portable hydrogen buildings must be the ticket ??????????????
They both know that it is impossible for electric charging infrastructure >>> think about that !
We are the last to actually find out.
Maybe it is a real dumb-ass move for Ford, and all the other smart auto manufacturer's ?
Why the richest people in the world get richer and >>>>>> finance space travel
Best be thinking on why they are doing that guys and girls, >>> Dorothy and Toto, there is something behind that curtain and IMO >> it is NOT good for us !
