Ford paid his workers well so they could afford his card. Maybe if they paid them better they wouldn't have to worry about this.
Maybe they're pocketing them to sell on eBay.

So what do we do about phosphorous?
Start looking for a solution...?
Are you seriously suggesting we don't do this because it only removes one of the three ingredients of artificial fertilizer?
Triffids!
Does a ding in the door mean that the entire door's structural integrity has been compromised? I've always wondered how long a carbon fibre driveshaft would last, much less the frame/structure that would save someone in a crash.
Gee, if only there were people who actually know stuff like that. We could get them to design the cars instead of the liberal-arts-majors who design them at the moment...
If you want something fun, buy an M3 or an M5.
Yeah, I'm feeling frivolous today. I'll just pop out and get one of those.

Eh?
My first car was an early Chevy Beretta with a bit less than 100 HP.
100 American HP isn't comparable to 100 European HP.
American engine designers are reknowned for making massive engines with very little HP but lots of torque.
Mainly because Americans want the power at low revs and it's hard to put HP there. Europeans don't mind revving the engine a bit more when needed so Euro engines tend to put the power higher at the top of the rev. range and get better HP figures (but less torque and better overall mileage because they can use smaller engines).
Bottom line: Saying "100HP" doesn't really mean much.
PS: The USA's style would be far better served by putting diesel engines in their SUVs...just sayin'.
MSRP is over 40,000 dollars.
Not out of BMW's standard price range, and if you count the money from the gas you're NOT buying, it's probably a net gain very quickly.
Don't worry. There's people out there who pay $40,000 for a suit, or a handbag with matching shoes.
Butt ugly, $40,000+ and a mere 100 mile range. They will sell about 4 of these.
Hah! People have said that about every massively-overpriced, butt-ugly car that ever came out of Munich. It never stopped any of them from selling to people who have more money than car knowledge. People buy cars based on the badge stuck to it (just like clothes, shoes, and every other overpriced "luxury" item you can think of).
Best guess this EV would cost around 45K USD.
Hah! That's just the price to get you in the door. I bet the real price will be closer to $60,000 when you add a few "options".
Have you seen latest prices on 256Gb USB sticks?
Similar capacity, less hassle, available right now....
Why is a government interfering with private entities' ability to price things differently in different countries?
Because dem entities are trying to use the government's laws to sue people over importing the products from other countries where it's cheaper.
I'm betting it falls off...otherwise it'd be in the video.
I quite like the design - it seems to cope with different terrain quite well (but the ride wouldn't be smooth if you were sat on it). I think it needs active hinges in the legs for the next version though.
And the way you know that the only mechanisms for cancer are ionizing radiation and heating is... what exactly?
Fail.
Cancer requires DNA damage. There's lots of ways to damage DNA but device only has (low power) heating and non-ionizing radiation.
(...also cellphones, routers, etc. None of those devices are injecting you with chemicals or producing particulate radiation!)
Plead guilty to destroying evidence and convicted of manslaughter
Yep.
If the order was given to destroy data then there HAS to be a person who gave that order. It's time they were hunted down.
Presumably it's the same person who's now telling them to plead guilty (and save his ass from further investigation).
Metric or Imperial?
