And in Ireland even though cans were already recycled, the gov decided to put a deposit charge on each can so one would have to take it back to Their choice of Zupermarche, like a good little serf, ja? Kerching!

"But every BEV already has a big nob in it"
Brilliant comment :D
Euro NCAP will introduce new testing rules in 2026 that require vehicles to have physical controls to earn the highest safety score.

Good thing too, the excess of touchscreens is idiocy. Taken to the extreme by Tesla in the Model 3, having lost most of the dashboard to a central touchscreen making drivers look away from where they are going for essential information.

'Scammers stole £40k after EDF gave out my number'

"EDF explained the fraudster had his name and email address and had asked EDF to give them his mobile number, which the company did."

"The call from the fraudster to EDF happened three hours before O2 received a request to move his number in the Sim-swap scam."

""After an hour of talking to different people there, they said, 'You've actually taken out a very large amount of premium bonds, over £40,000'," said Stephen."

Tesla for Sale: Buyer’s Remorse Sinks In for Elon Musk’s E.V.-Owning Critics
The backlash against the electric vehicle company has intensified as the billionaire ally of President Trump exerts his power over the federal government.

"“Anxious and nervous about our safety and my kids’ safety as well.” Tesla owner, Dr. Kumait Jaroje of Massachusetts, says he’s been threatened because he drives a Cybertruck made by Elon Musk’s company."

we must not rush to retaliate.
It will take years and a great deal of money to repatriate manufacturing, even that may not be possible. Companies manufacture in China not only because of cheaper labour but also availability of high quality and convenient supply chains.
If we do nothing, Trump's action does not create inflation here. Inflation will hit Americans first. Those who want our products just have to pay higher price.
Trump has only a short time to extract concessions from us, I somehow hope we don't just give in before their Mid Term elections.

I don't know what video they all watched, but the one they showed indicates that he got a standing ovation. I think their TDS is causing dissonance in their brains. All the dems are sitting there like their partners have just died, or they just got the letter from the FBI saying that they're under investigation.

Read the comments - they're so funny. This is even funnier:
