They were looking extremely closely back in 2001 as well.

Pretty hard to read the Daily Hate article due to adverts etc, but the UK is partly/largely de-industrialised now (certainly with regards to how UK used to be a world leader in heavy industry). Therefore these figures might be interpreted as vehicle/air-con use type emissions, when they might be largely manufacturing.
ie it's not domestic, it's industrial (hence Venezuela at 10.8 because of its huge Oil/Gas presumably). Frankfurt seems odd at per-capita of 58.3 unless few residents but lots of commuters, but that applies to London which is only 3.6 (UK average)

This is from /r/WSB - and entirely correct.
Still nothing to be happy about - it increases the "EVs are fire hazards" myth.
In other news: the I4 configurator is live - we now know that driving a BMW electric vehicle in Switzerland costs you dearly. How much you ask? Well if you compare the i4 M50 to the Model 3 LR AWD Performance Boost, you could buy a second Model 3 SR+ with the money the BMW costs you more than the faster, quicker, lighter and more efficient Tesla...

As I mentioned earlier, LG are making Mach-E cells at the moment. I don't want any EV fires, but should Mach-E customers be concerned? Hopefully different design/production facilities used. It could even be tolerances, wrong setup affecting only a few batches/runs/periods (assuming cells went to GM & Hyundai)

True. Also what might kill Ford is their cost of producing those EV's. As the likes of Tesla and other pure EV companies continue to lower prices while maintaining profit margins, legacy automakers like Ford will find their large overhead and costs of production to be very prohibitive. If Ford can't keep the prices of their EV's competitive while still making enough profit to survive they will flounder.
Of course government bailouts are always a possibility for the likes of Ford as well.
Same here.
got rid of my last gas car 3 weeks ago. Now, 100% electric.
the only flash I have noticed is the compound they apply to finish the paint on the driver side went on the chrome delete trims. I didn’t notice at delivery because it was sunny, I couldn’t remove the white compound on the black trims near the driver window, placed à service call, went to Tesla yesterday, they cleaned the whole car but there are some oily stain marks on the upper window Chrome delete driver sid, the guy ordered news trims for the whole car and told me he would try to make a mobile ranger come change them so don’t have to go back. I never had anything else but excellent service every time I needed. That’s why I will keep buying Teslas for the rest of my life.
Gave my 20 y.o nephew a test drive yesterday, now he wants to replace his Toyota Yaris with a Tesla, instantaneous conversion. The new generation sees Tesla as their dream car, not Porsche. They will grow up dreaming or driving a Tesla instead of driving Porsche like we did when we were young.
Based on the reactions I get from youngsters as I drive around my local area, I 100% agree.

Me three. Sold my 96 Jeep about 3 weeks ago. Now have waiting space for the coming CT.
I am noticing so much humidity this Summer that the garage is like a swamp. Any water on the floor seems to stay so considering some seasonal dehumidifying of some manner.

Dan did one of the first glowing reviews of the original Model S in 2012. He’s always loved the car.
Not sure what axe you're grinding- you seemed determine to some fairly informed posts and an excellent summary by @Knightshade but here goes.
RE kudus to Ford. Ford evaluated and bought a huge chunk of Rivian. For this reason alone they will survive and did better than all the other major legacy firms. Don't know why that is hard for you. That alone assures them a place in history compared to other legacy auto companies because Rivian is the only other pure play EV in EU or NA markets that looks to make it.
Ford does know how to make cars at scale so they don't have to learn how to do something it has taken Tesla a decade to learn- you make it sound as if that is bad for Ford. They have lots of other issues but everyone (legacy auto) does too. Ford had enough sense to stop making cars when they were not selling- it was the logical decision. People want SUVs and trucks. Ford makes great, big, SUVs and trucks and why bother with cars that no one wants. Ford may only sell a few models but as long as one of those is the f150/250/350 than they will survive just fine. They sell more of those than Tesla will make this year in all models. Tesla moved in the same direction. They are counting on the Y (not 3) they are making the cybertruck which was benchmarked against the f150. Do you think Elon is a fool? Ford has a long way to go, everyone knows it. But what is interesting to me, as someone that spent time in Detroit, is that it is Ford and not Honda or Toyota or GM or VW that is making best strategic and tactical moves right now. At least that is my take. The ? I have are regarding the electronics package and the battery solutions but they may simply be waiting for Rivian to scale and make do with SK in the meantime. I have no clue having left the consulting world.
Lastly, I was often in Detroit when 08 blew up, we (as in my small partnership where I was lead partner) lost over 10 mil in contracts in 08/9 in Detroit. Don't rewrite history yourself. Ford would have loved for GM to fail, they were F'ing furious at the govt bailing GM out. They didn't stop being furious til the admin offered them billions to be good soldiers why do you think Ford still hasn't paid back those loans- with mr ford that will be personal- I have no idea how they are written but I would not be surprised if they never fully repay the loans. So, I cannot express politely just how wrong you are..but lets just say you are wrong. The govt could have just as easily backed up the suppliers that Ford needed and saved tens of billions and that is something the treasury looked at but politicians screamed. Ford had the foresight to see the crash coming, they raised all the cash and mortgaged everything counting on GM and Chrysler finally failing. Ford is also to be commended for that foresight, they saved US taxpayers billions and billions.
hmmm, interesting I was pretty sure that SK was building these for Ford but maybe that split the contract so SK gets the lightening?
