The tax was passed in 2024 and Canada wants to collect it retroactive to 2022. If there's one kind of tax I don't like it's a retroactive tax.

My electric rate at home is close to $.15 per kWh. Tesla was charging about $.45 per kWh at most superchargers. It is cheaper to operate a 40mpg gas powered hybrid car on $3/gallon gas than to use an EV at $.45 per kWh. This is especially true in the winter when heating your EV causes your electricity consumption to go way up. For $3 you could go 40 miles on gas. $3 at a $.45/kWh supercharger will get you 6.7 kWh. At 75mph in the winter you could use over 333 watt hours per mile so your 6.6 kWh will only get you 20 miles.

German courts sent people to prison for the fraud in Dieselgate: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapnews.com%2Farticle%2Fvol... Forget class actions, send Facebook executives to prison for computer fraud! It's time that sleazy business practice like this lands the engineers and corporate management that approved it in prison.

1.8 million apps is a lot.

Can you imagine how they would feel if they lost everything due to the 0.7% of tickets they didn't buy? It really was gambling.

No! The USA should pass laws that apply to everyone. It should not be the government's job to pick and choose who gets an exception to a law. That is how you get corruption. If I have a company that is hurt by tariffs I shouldn't be able to send my corporate jet to take the president to my golf course and get him to exempt my company from the tariffs.

With .0001 microsecond of thought I will be walking away from a new car with pop up ads. This is as easy a decision as a home covered by an HOA: Absolutely not interested.

Cocaine does have a medical use. I work as an anesthesiologist and see a lot of Ear Nose and Throat cases. 4% cocaine is used as a local anesthetic that also cuts down on blood loss by constricting blood vessels in the nose. Cocaine could be replaced by lidocaine and epinephrine or phenylephrine, but the surgeons I work with seem to like it. Patients are under general anesthesia when cocaine is applied so they don't experience the "rush" and I can not see any effects in the recovery room after. Cocaine is a relatively toxic local anesthetic and surgeons know to use it in small amounts. It is hard to sterilize (heat destroys the molecule apparently) so there is no injectable version that I know of. It belongs in schedule 2 .

It's dangerous to install programs from untrustworthy sites: you could be installing software that lets people spy on you!

Full stop. Why would you even think this was an appropriate implementation?

Now all those sheep will emit tons of methane which is a worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Is it easy to add 10kW of power consumption to a home? Can you find 250kW DC fast chargers at many convenient locations when taking long trips? This might be the issue in India.

Sales are nice but profits are even better and GM isn't making any on EVs. Yet.

I HATE touch screen interfaces in cars. If I had to choose between an ICE car, a plug in hybrid or a full EV I would take the one with buttons, knobs and stalks.
