If you're curious, when listening to the show, as to why I am very sceptical whenever a new EV startup is mentioned (see Slate for the latest) it is things like this linked story. Tesla is not an exception. Go look how they made/make money. www.carscoops.com/2025/05/fara...

Did seem like Honda tried to pull the rug from under Nissan, until you read why they stopped believing Nissan was an equal. Question now is what happens to Nissan? Close? Bought? Merge with someone else? I don't think they can get out of their own way, though. Feel sorry for the workers.

I wish this WAS a joke, but its not. The UK Government has decided that people should not be properly compensated for companies breaking the law. Regulators brought in guidance that broke the law. But consumers get shafted. My anger overfloweth this week, I'm afraid, with a couple of stories.
