Prospect of low-priced Chinese EVs reaching US from Mexico poses threat to automakers

Jump

  • June 11th 2024 GM announced that the board approved a 6 Billion dollar stock buyback plan.

    That is a direct wealth transfer from the company to the owners.

    We have met the enemy, and they are us.

    My next car will be a Chinese EV, if I have to drive it over the Mexican border myself.

  • Past tense. They are ending the production line this year. They just didn't have the margin.

    • NBC to use AI-generated version of Al Michaels' voice during Summer Olympics

    Jump

  • Were you going to even watch the Olympics on NBC anyhow? Last time it played I tried to watch a few events and it was nothing but ads and profiles of people I don't care about.

    Like I get you are upset but I don't know why. For me it's like hearing some Austrian version of Ticketmaster are being assholes. Ok, I don't live in Austria and if I did I still probably wouldn't use whatever version of Ticketmaster they might have there.

    Why is it so important to hear Al Micheals tell you about what you just saw? Do you even have a cable TV subscription?

  • Imagine there is a process that makes a gas that is too hot. The solution is to spray the gas outlet with water. That's a quencher. The PLC controls the amount the water valve is open or rather how much to close it. If the PLC dies the valve should open up as much as possible and blast water. It is better to waste water instead of risking hot gas going through ducting systems that can't handle it.

    My mistake was putting failed closed valves in the system. If there was a power outage or a dead PLC no water would have cooled the gas. And presumably the ducting would have melted and there would have been fires.

    Like I said my most embarrassing mistake. At least we caught it before shipment.
