General Motors Streetcar conspiracy
Conviction:
In 1949, General Motors and other companies were convicted of conspiring to monopolize the sale of buses and supplies to the transit companies they controlled.
Saw a documentary on how gm killed the electric car they made in to 90s
GM EV1 electric car was discontinued in the late 1990s after its production run (1996-1999), and GM controversially crushed almost all of them in the early 2000s, sparking the documentary “Who Killed the Electric Car?”. The company stated the decision was due to high production and maintenance costs and the belief that it was not a commercially viable product. The EV1’s demise is often linked to the end of California’s zero-emission vehicle mandate, after which GM and other automakers lobbied to soften the regulations.

1·2 days agoProbably like Chrysler, they were in bed together at one point. Just like merc, Chrysler has the junctions for network, similar aux battery, and so on. Most Chrysler you can just stomp the gas pedal 3 times to reset the oil light in addition to the instrument cluster shortcut.

4·2 days agoYep, obdeleven let’s you go into the basic settings because most of the times they have the passwords in the app. On the newer cars, especially audi, the service reset (not the oil reset) is behind a paywall. Maybe depends.on the scanner, but the autel and topdon ones need an additional subscription, along with Nissan, Chrysler etc

491·2 days agoThey lock the parking brake behind a paywall on the scanner, so you have to pay a subscription fee. Chrysler has the parking brake service mode on the vehicle for users. VAG, BMW, Nissan, Toyota, GM etc all do it. It just make servicing more expensive for consumers, because the cost all gets passed down.

1·11 days agoEasing up? Don’t fucking touch it. Google is already annoying me with their play protect warnings.

I like old people who argue that they didn’t wear seat belts, sat in the cargo area of a wagon and say heavy old cars are safer. It’s like we know better but because they did it it’s okay. Don’t they realize that you use the knowledge as the advantages you’ved learned in order to make live better?
