I Like Electric Cars. 700-Mile Range EVs and Wireless Charging Would Make Me Love Them.

[S]olid-state batteries have can get 600 to 700 miles per single charge, instead of the current 250 to 400 or so. That is farther than most traditional cars can go on a single tank of gasoline.

Tesla (TSLA) has to replace computer in ~4 million cars or compensate their owners

Tesla (TSLA) has to replace the ‘self-driving’ computer inside about 4 million vehicles or likely compensate the owners of those vehicles.

The liability could be more significant than the largest automotive recall in terms of cost.

The Embodiment of RED :fire_t:

If you're #ActuallyAutistic, #ADHD, or some other flavor of #neurodivergent, and don't know what a "money shift" is in #automotive lingo:

It's when you are in a vehicle, moving forward, and immediately shift to either reverse or to a gear too low for the engine's current RPM. The engine's internals get fucked, the engine seizes, and a bunch of money must be spent on new parts and/or service before the car will move on its own again.

I need to get used to saying "money shift" when it happens.

The EU announces a ‘zero-for-zero’ US tariff deal as reciprocal duties loom.

The EU has proposed scrapping tariffs on all industrial goods traded with the US, in a bid to stave off the US “reciprocal duties” set to enter into force this week.

The “zero-for-zero” offer extends to cars, pharmaceuticals, rubber, plastic, machinery, and other industrial products.

Januar Land Rover suspends shipments to US in April over tariffs.

The British maker of Jaguar and Land Rover cars is pausing shipments to the United States as it works to mitigate the impact of a 25% tax on vehicle imports imposed by the Trump Administration.

The UK luxury car manufacturer said it needed to address 'the new trading terms'.

Tesla sales plunge in France as more owners resell their cars.

Tesla is losing ground in France. Registrations of new vehicles have dropped 41% since the start of the year, while second-hand listings have shot up.

Experts say model changes, stronger competition and growing unease with CEO Elon Musk are all playing a role.

Tesla sales are down. What a surprise...

I have never been a fan of Teslas. I am a fan of EVs, however, and there is just a lot of quality vehicles out there and most of them have a dashboard, which IMHO should be a requirement, as well as normal placement of things like turn signal controls and window wiper controls.

I know some of you just dislike cars in general and I respect that. I love walking and biking as well, but sometimes I need to drive and then I prefer EVs.

EU and UK fine carmakers millions over recycling cartel.

Fifteen major car manufacturers have been fined almost €600 million by the European Commission and the British government after Mercedes-Benz blew the whistle on a cartel that fixed car recycling costs and processes.

The carmakers had entered into anti-competitive agreements to prevent competition on the stripping, scrapping and recycling of old cars.
