They already have your name, phone number, age, gender and face… and are also tracking your every click and interest, every pause on scrolling, hover of your mouse, your relationships, where you were yesterday, the day before, what you buy…
How is it surveillance? Just don’t give them your ID or use the platform, they have negative value anyway.
My understanding is that a ban is not the desired goal, more an ‘emergency break’ while other regulatory means catch up.
I think Teslas shouldn’t speak for all EVs.
the company has demonstrated a very high tolerance for risk. In execution, but also they don’t seem to care about reputational risk. Other manufacturers with a larger business at stake, I would expect to handle recalls, safety in a different manner (one of the reasons they are lagging in the EV space)
So… EVs have significantly less fires than combustion engines
But EVs fires are more severe
Tesla is a mess.
EV chemistry is getting better and safer over time.
Combustion engines are largely at their limit.
ICE vehicles have far more fires. EVs are more intense, but significantly less frequent
There is some truth in what you are saying, which makes for the best misinformation.
Canada’s fires are largely in unmanaged areas in wild forests not tree farms, suppression was never happening, the increase in fires is due to hotter weather (the north experiences higher increases than global average).
Forest management is more of a contributor in the US (but climate there too).
BTW prescribed burns do happen but they are heavily regulated, not a tonne of them. There were a bunch of deaths a while ago, which increased regs, rightly or wrongly.
