South Australia to introduce an electric car tax, based on a fixed charge and a distance travelled charge, my guess it will be monitored and if it works well adopted Australia wide.
The State is also going to install 200 charging stations.
Electric vehicle charge sparks anger from owners, environmental groups
The State Government says it plans to charge electric vehicle drivers to use the roads and that two other jurisdictions are interested in following its lead within 12 months.www.abc.net.au
FWIW even relatively small cities already track vehicle movements on key routes.Government remote interference with my property?
Hope they've got a warrant
Yeah but tracking (surveillance) is not interference. Very different thing.FWIW even relatively small cities already track vehicle movements on key routes.
The owner isn’t identified but it’s tracked that car 123456789 went from here to there via these roads at this time.
I guess that depends if the car being chased by the police, is your $200,000 Porsche Taycan that has been stolen, then it might be "stuff the warrant shut the bloody thing down". ? ? ?Yeah but tracking (surveillance) is not interference. Very different thing.
Surveillance is just knowing where someone/something is (when in public obviously). Interfering is crossing a line, like surveillance would be if it was in my private residence or whatever.
Yes we talked about this in the thread a while back, Tesla and European manufacturers relocating manufacturing to China, may come back to bite them.View attachment 114590
Nio's now made the news, and aftermarket trading suggests it'll crack $50/share tonight.
Tesla is still building new factories in Europe and the USA, while also expanding existing ones.Yes we talked about this in the thread a while back, Tesla and European manufacturers relocating manufacturing to China, may come back to bite them.
But what the hell, everyone seems to be fine with it, as long as it's cheaper to manufacture there.?
The speed of decline in first world manufacturing is about to accelerate IMO, once vehicles become a commodity rather than a status symbol the reason for a lot of secondary processes (steel, aluminum etc) becomes unnecessary and it all moves to China.?
If China comes out with a similar product, for half the price, well it might be different for Tesla than everyone else but I wouldnt bet on it.Tesla is still building new factories in Europe and the USA, while also expanding existing ones.
Tesla are even vertically intergrating parts of the process most other companies out source such as seats.
Nah it's just the cessation of bretton-woods on account of the shale revolution - gotta build where you sell.Yes we talked about this in the thread a while back, Tesla and European manufacturers relocating manufacturing to China, may come back to bite them.

Well you can obviously shut your own personal property down, same as you can give the police permission to. Cops also have permission to ram etc a car on the run. Again, not the same thing.I guess that depends if the car being chased by the police, is your $200,000 Porsche Taycan that has been stolen, then it might be "stuff the warrant shut the bloody thing down". ? ? ?
I think I did say it would require legislation, but that is a small hurdle these days and it is getting smaller and smaller, as we have seen with this virus.lo lWell you can obviously shut your own personal property down, same as you can give the police permission to.

Not against the idea but it's just gotta be done properly - it's like when they lock bank accounts of wanted crims or whatever, they can't just do that on a whim.

Cars are a product where in practice very few buy the cheapest available.people still want iPhones, even though there are cheaper products.
Unless they are ato.or asio.or....Nah it's just the cessation of bretton-woods on account of the shale revolution - gotta build where you sell.
Toyota's two largest manufacturing plants for example are in kentucky & texas now, and they're building a third iirc.

Just a specific case highlighting the stupidity and non scientific basis of this scare campaign.but let's keep this for the covid thread?Elon musk's tested positive for coronavirus. He then tested negative. Then positive again. Then negative again.
Yes, really:
