    They basically all did it, some just got caught earlier. I said it back when they all hit on Volkswagen: It is not like that all the other companies have found the magic trick to get emissions miraculously down, and just VW was to stupid to find it somehow, and had to cheat. This time it’s Cummins they caught. All you have to do is look closely, and you’ll find that they cheat, because in reality, none of them have that magic trick.

      Yes they do. It’s called an electric motor. But that requires revitalizing infrastructure in order to accommodate fast charging across an urban landscape so utility trucks can top up whenever needed. And, of course, a company like Cummins being willing to make them.

      But we can’t get off that oil teat.

    If I’m doing my math right, $1.675B/630k vehicles is around $2.5k/vehicle. Barely cutting into the profits on what I assume is Dodge’s most successful line.

    … hundreds of thousands of 2013 to 20199 RAM 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks.

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. They really have those future sales locked in.

    I wonder if enforcing the destruction of human-viable-planet could be considered either

    • Crime Against Humanity

    or, an

    • Act of Terrorism

    They escalate to kill more of the next-generation,

    then ENFORCE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR ACTUAL CRIME, if integrity is still any part of the “law” that is held to “rule”.
