CAFE standards kill

Not in technology. That’s why they steal it. Ttku

China definitely is a rival in technology.

See fren, you just deny deny deny, ORANGE MAN BAD.

LMAO, what am I denying?

You’re not very good at this game.

Get back to me with a point, any point, your point.

Then why steal it?

Meh. $2500 possible fine or a $5000 repair? Let it ride

Why wouldn’t you?
Bolster research in one area and use theft to compensate for lost focus in another.

I’m just annoyed that the technology isn’t better yet.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

No auto manufacturers want this.

In fact, they’ll probably stick with the CA Standards, because they’re in business, and they know the market better than Trump.

Ok then what's the problem?

 

[bbsam]

No problem. Just no point to rolling back the regulation standards.

Imagine how much it would cost to retool every time a president tweets new standards.

Great, no problem then.

So you were against the Obama regulations....

 

[bbsam]

No problem at all.

As far as the Obama regulations, didn’t care one way or another.

I think you’re making this political when it isn’t. It’s just not the kind of thing that can easily change with political winds. In fact, business should be ready for the most restrictive standards at all times or they’ll just be left trying to catch up.

So many contradictions in that post.

The issue is Drumpafaloopa is fixing a problem that doesn’t exist.

He’s rolling back regulations that the industry’s being regulated agree with.

Still waiting on you guy, you started this thread, did you ever have a point?

It’s like this:

Let’s say Ford has a mandated product line mpg target of 30 mpg by 2025. The president backs that number off to 25 mpg.

All goes well until 2028 when a new administration changes the target to 34 mpg. Well, Chevy, Honda, and the other major players have been sitting at 30 and anticipating higher for years. So now Ford is sitting behind the 8 ball and playing a very expensive game of catch up.

Why would a company do that?

You're making a great argument for not setting these standards at all.

I was speaking in relation to cleaning up the environment.
They are our competition and we are solidly kicking their collective asses!

I'm not sure if you realize this, but AMERICAN companies have been getting out of the small car market. We make trucks and SUVs.

Mandating average mpg across the entire fleet they sell hurts American companies because of the types of vehicles they sell.

You don't speak for the "industry", but I'm sure the Asians agree with you.

Lulz, how’s that working for the American car industry?

Ford is basically junk-bond status at this point, etc.

If they’re going to compete at all, my guess is ‘standing still’ isn’t going to work.

Thanks Obama.

Thanks Obama.

Thanks American car companies for consistently delivering sub-par products.

Without the friend-150, Ford would have been bankrupt years ago.

Capitalism.
