California police speak out against Tesla police cars, appeal
Multiple police departments in California believe the Tesla Model 3 is not suitable for law enforcement duties. The police chief said the Tesla's limited passenger space and tricky technology were a hindrance to patrol efforts. California police prefer the Ford F-150 Lightning, citing more space, easier maintenance and more supplier options. Police across the country are responding to the changes. Dodge ended production of the previous-generation Charger late last year. Alternatives are not readily available either, and some cities are considering electric vehicles as potential alternatives.

At 3:13 a.m., a Tesla semi-trailer crashed on Interstate 80 and caught fire for unknown reasons, leaving the vehicle unrecognizable. Now, the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the accident to learn more about lithium-ion fires. As of this writing, the cause of the accident and fire is unknown. The accident occurred on a stretch of road near Nyack in the Sierra Madre Mountains. Conventional internal combustion engine-powered trucks typically rely on engine braking when going downhill. The Tesla Semi should benefit from going downhill because it can use regenerative braking to recover energy.

California hopes to require
Fuel stockpiling will help stabilize prices as refineries shut for planned maintenance California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a plan to help stabilize gas prices. Under the proposal, refineries would have to maintain minimum fuel reserves to prevent price spikes caused by maintenance outages. The move could save drivers hundreds of millions of dollars a year, but details of the plan are unclear. California is known for having the highest gas prices in the country. According to AAA, the average price for regular unleaded gas in California is $4.598 per gallon, which is $1.187 higher than the national average. The only state with higher gas prices is Hawaii, where the average price for regular unleaded gas is $4.656 per gallon. Gov. Gavin Newsom has introduced a new proposal to “prevent price spikes and save Californians money.” Under the plan, the California Energy Commission (CEC) would be authorized to require petroleum refineries to “maintain minimum fuel reserves to avoid supply shortages that…

California is rushing to buy electric cars, but they’re increasingly
From April to June of this year, zero-emission vehicles accounted for 25.7% of new car, truck and SUV sales in California, a record high. A total of 118,181 battery, plug-in and hydrogen-powered vehicles were sold, but that was down slightly from the record 125,939 in the second quarter of 2023. Automakers including Rivian (sales up 71%) and Ford saw market share gains, but Tesla's deliveries in California fell 24%. Forbes explain. California was the first state to ban gas-powered cars, with the ban set to take effect in 2035, but many Californians didn’t wait until they were forced to switch to gas-powered cars. New data shows that zero-emission vehicles accounted for more than a quarter of all car sales in the second quarter, but what’s really shocking is that Tesla’s sales have fallen sharply during the same period. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); From…

California power outage wreaks havoc at Port of Los Angeles
Los Angeles, California, USA - November 17, 2017: Two Evergreen container ships - Ever Lunar and Ever Shine - load cargo at the Everport Terminal, one of 25 terminals along the Port of Los Angeles' 43 miles of waterfront. The Port of Los Angeles is running low on power. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) has reported nine outages so far in 2024, an average of more than one per month. The utility has allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to improve power and reliability, but the upgrades are not expected to be completed until 2029. More than two decades ago, California lawmakers began deregulating energy. The haphazard implementation was followed by mandatory price caps, rolling blackouts, and ultimately the ouster of then-Governor Gray Davis in 2003. Fast forward to today, and the state is still struggling to build a stable, reliable electric grid. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has blamed this year's outages…
California uses blockchain to reduce fraud and
The shift may make it harder for criminals to commit title fraud, but other problems remain The state of California just digitized 42 million car titles via blockchain. The company hopes the move will simplify the property transfer process and reduce fraud. Next year, Californians will be able to access their own property title information via blockchain. Everyone hates going to the DMV, and they hate being a victim of fraud even more. California thinks it can reduce fraud and trips to the DMV, and blockchain is the answer. No, this isn’t some crazy new NFT or digital currency, but an immutable online record of property ownership. The blockchain can be thought of as a public database where everyone can see everything that happens. Once a record is created, it cannot be changed, and it contains important data such as when it was created, which records came before it, etc. Technically, changes are possible, but this would also require changing…
Toyota Mirai class-action lawsuit says car isn’t worth buying
Toyota Mirai lawsuit says hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles are causing problems for California consumers July 15, 2024 — Toyota Mirai class action lawsuit says California consumers mistakenly believed buying or leasing a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle would make their lives easier. The first generation Toyota Mirai was produced from 2015 to 2020, and the second generation was produced from December 2020 to date. There are two trims available, namely XLE and Limited. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are sold and leased only in California. Toyota Mirai Class Action Lawsuit Includes: “Any California citizen who purchases or leases a Toyota Mirai vehicle between 2021 and 2024.” Toyota allegedly marketed the cars by telling consumers that refueling them would be as easy as filling up a tank with standard gasoline. But Mirai customers have experienced trouble due to hydrogen fuel shortages, which have left customers unable to drive their cars, the class action lawsuit said. “As a result, consumers, including plaintiffs,…
