#Automakers Sue To Kill #Maine’s Hugely Popular ‘#RightToRepair’ #Law
A little over a year ago, Maine residents voted overwhelmingly (83%) to pass a new state right to repair law designed to make #auto repairs easier and more affordable. More specifically, the law requires that automakers standardize on-board diagnostic systems and provide remote access to those systems and mechanical data to consumers and third-party independent repair shops.

For crying out loud, like a drunk toddler & for seemingly no reason at all, #Trump has now reversed his #tariffs on #Canada.
Trump said Thurs that he would allow BOTH #Mexico & Canada to avoid tariffs on most exports to the #US for 1 month, specifically products subject to the #USMCA, the #trade pact he signed in his first term.
The move came less than a day after he granted a 30-day reprieve to #automakers, & hours after announcing a pause on Mexico’s tariffs.

When #Jeep owners complained ads were appearing while #driving, the carmaker said it was a #glitch. But as #automakers consider connected car opportunities, in-vehicle selling might be too tempting to ignore.

Senate Confirms #LeeZeldin to Head #EPA where hes charged with executing Trump’s orders to dismantle #environmental #regulation
Former NY congressman has little experience in environmental policy. He is expected to follow orders to weaken #climate rules. One rule, finalized last year, would cut #tailpipe #emissions of #greenhousegas, nation’s largest source of planet-warming #pollution, by compelling #automakers to increase sales of hybrid and EV.

“If they want to be tough on #China, don’t punish US #automakers & hard-working Americans by handing our clean-car keys to the Chinese,” said Gina McCarthy, former White House #climate adviser & former head of the #EPA. “The #UnitedStates must continue to show leadership on the international stage if we want to have any say in how trillions of dollars in financial investments, policies & decisions are made.”
