…The levies #Trump announced on Wed are separate from the ones he has already imposed on #steel, #aluminum, & foreign-made #cars & parts. Taken as a whole, his tariffs represent a dramatic expansion from the more narrowly targeted duties he imposed in his first term—some of which the Biden Admin retained—& a final nail in the coffin for the open #trading environment that reigned before 2016.
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.
Trump has said he wants to roll back both emissions and fuel economy standards. Drivers of new models may end up spending thousands more just to fill their gas tanks.

'More than 1m cars sold in UK each year too big to fit typical parking space'
'Oliver Lord, the UK head of Clean Cities, said: “Cars are getting bigger every year – while our streets are not. We need carmakers to prioritise normal-sized cars that can be parked more easily and are less dangerous to people walking around.

Ford brought a version of the #Ford #Sierra over here and called it the #Merkur XR4Ti. Despite being better, it barely sold thanks to shitty dealerships upselling buyers to shitty #Lincolns for higher commissions.

I hate that we normalize deaths by vehicle like this.
If a person dies and it is found to be completely your fault, you should go to prison, or at least have a criminal record.
These aren't "accidents".
They are actual things that have happened due to factors including in this case “undue care and attention”.
