Apple car no more.

I literally didn't know they were working on that. Did they ever get to hardware work or was it all software still?

Some has seen prototypes. Some rumor talks with Hyundai and Magna along the way. It's been off and on for a decade.

But given they bring nothing on the table, NA is cool on EVs and China got too many competitors as it is, it's hard to see why Apple wants in on this.

Apples problem was less about trying to make an EV but moreso trying to focus on going straight to fully autonomous vehicles. That’s always going to be a big leap with lots of issues and the Tesla self driving issues have also pushed more regulatory concerns into the spotlight too. Probably too big of liability to pursue.

$200/year tax proposed on EVs registered in Alberta stating in 2025.

We should do that for all cars and drop the gas tax once and for all

Rules that only apply to some situations and not others are bad rules.

At $200 a year, I would save money.

Reddit is comprised of leaches.

So them being mad about paying for things is very on brand.

If reddit hates it, I'm inclined to like it.

More than cars uses gas tho. Danielle is just mad EV owners skip out paying.

They will def charge $200/car AND keep the gas tax too.

AB tax is about 8% and average user do like $3k/year, so $200 is still cheaper than gas.

Can you change your registration so the "fuel" column says 'coal'?

Road tax should be per weight of the vehicle. It shouldn’t matter how oil and coal power the gasoline, diesel or electric vehicle.
