Ferrari and BMW are rolling out new models featuring lightweight, cost-effective aluminium wiring, accelerating a shift away from copper, the dominant material in electric wiring since the invention of the electric ​battery two centuries ago.

      The Teslas and Chinese cheapos

      Wasn’t there just a big scandal at Ford over relying on AI to manufacture vehicles and ending up with a bunch of defects?

          We already know that established American cars are crap

          There was a period, in the 70s/80s, when they were absolute crap. And then Japan started building non-crap cars, so Americans actually had to compete. For a brief, beautiful decade in between '98 and '08, you could get a Ford Focus for under $20k and it would drive 150k miles doing 50+mpg and almost never break.

          Then Toyota started cheaping out and Ford got extra slack, and it was a race to the bottom again.
