…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.

As spring comes into bloom, is your city's regular volume increased by the sound of dirtbikes and motorcycles and modified engines, like mine is? Is the peace disturbed every few minutes by the growl and roar of these nuisances?

Hey folks. The car insurance and loan vultures are circling again for their respective pounds of flesh. Please help me keep them at bay while I get ready for a month or two of training for my new job. It's $220 insurance, $280 car loan, $500 or so total just for those. I also have other expenses including food to cover and once again my accounts are well into the red.
Any amount spare helps, it all adds up.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca12V is now outputting 14V. Up from 13.3V just after the issues. So I definitely suspect it is weak. Maybe when it was in the shop it got drained somehow. Or maybe it was from earlier today when I had the trailer hooked up and the lights on. Maybe it was drawing power when the car was off, which has happened #cars #ev #kona #hyundai
