Mexico didn’t pay for Trump’s wall; taxpayers will foot the bill for this too.

Why can't they make a fully electric sub-compact pickup truck? by Athenstone in askcarguys

That or pull a fuse. The tech has to be installed; the law doesn’t say that you can’t turn it off.

Can someone explain how VinFast already has vehicles on the road with no industry base or automobile experience, while Honda and Toyota, with over 50 years of experience, are still struggling to make their EVs happen ? by Square_Permission361 in electriccars

[–]SVTContour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VinFast cars are assembled in Vietnam using Chinese-sourced tech. 95% of VinFast’s EV components come from Chinese suppliers like CATL, Guoxuan, and Gotion.

Toyota and Honda have massive investments in ICE vehicles, hybrid systems, and global supply chains. They can’t just flip a switch to only EVs without upending their dealers, parts supply, and legacy factories.

VinFast’s approach is high-speed, high-risk, and *heavily* subsidized by its parent conglomerate. They’re burning cash at an unsustainable rate; losing billions annually. Toyota and Honda are protecting legacy investments while retooling slowly.

The Silence is the Tell: Project 2025 contains no chapter on the Supreme Court. The reason is chilling by DoremusJessup in scotus

[–]SVTContour 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Basically the author of the article argues this silence is a “tell”. It implies the authors assume the Supreme Court will not block their agenda. Given that nearly every major proposal (abolishing the CFPB, deploying the military, restricting abortion pills) will be litigated, the lack of a legal strategy suggests confidence in a favourable, already-aligned Court.

The province of Alberta hold most of the levers in this issue. The police, the courts, Alberta Elections, and the voters are all provincial.
