I used the quotation marks as an emphasis to question the validity of a statement about the discontinued use of radars as less safe. My point being that until data is provided to confirm the assumption, I won't believe it.

You're the one making assumptions ... often.
What if this ahem real quote below turns out to be the case at some point?
"It has recently taken steps to reintroduce radar sensors, according to government filings first reported by Electrek."
Will you then believe more recent vehicles, without the additional radar which was on even earlier ones, made those recent vehicles less safe? Or can Elon do no wrong ever?
I certainly won't speculate as to why Tesla would or wouldn't reintroduce radar to its vehicles. They had them, they removed them, they may add them again... Could be technical, cost or whatever. But there's no question that their system is far more advanced than anything else out there.
Sorry lazy tonight - just the headline & link.

IOW it sucks still but the others suck more.
You mean the same government that until very recently didn't even acknowledge Tesla (because they are non union)? The Biden Administration can
Musk has already stated he doesn't need government money for this, pointing out the government should be promoting the expansion of EVs and chargers, not pick winners and losers.CCS is the European standard, although Japan's CHAdeMo is also used in all Japanese EV and hybrids vehicles sold in Europe. China uses GB/T and has the world largest number of EVs.
Like I said in another post, I'd expected Musk to push for his plug in Europe years ago, but he took too long and gave them time to develop their standard which is unlikely to change. Seeing how the US government continues to push for CCS, I suspect that Tesla's NACS may not be entirely open as Musk has stated, or that deals were made with certifying bodies for the government to recoup funding for CCS.

This EV charging depot can charge up to 96 electric semi-trucks at once

An electric truck charging depot that can charge up to 96 trucks at once will service fleets moving cargo to and from the Port of Oakland.
Zero-emission truck solutions provider Forum Mobility has been approved to receive $4.5 million in financing from East Bay Community Energy (EBCE), the local energy provider for Alameda County and the City of Tracy, California, to develop the Greenville Community Charging Depot on a 4.4-acre site just off I-580 in Livermore.
It’s part of a new network of electric truck charging depots that Forum Mobility is building for drayage carriers – that is, the transport of freight from an ocean port to a destination – moving freight in and out of the Port of Oakland.
The California Air Resources Board recently approved rules requiring all of California’s in-state drayage fleet – approximately 33,000 trucks – to be zero-emission by 2035. The California Energy Commission estimates that to comply with these and other proposed vehicle regulations, California will need 157,000 medium- and heavy-duty chargers by 2030.
Matt LeDucq, CEO and cofounder of Forum Mobility, said:
Forum is building a network of charging depots for heavy-duty trucks to make the transition to electric. This partnership with EBCE will help Forum deliver fast charging to trucking owners, operators, carriers, and fleets.
With new rules from the California Air Resources Board requiring zero-emission trucks, Forum and EBCE are working to provide broad access to charging infrastructure and zero-emission trucks.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, heavy-duty vehicles are responsible for 23% of the emissions from the transportation sector.
We’ve asked a spokesperson for specs of the electric truck charging depot, and will update when we hear back.
- Markets: The stock market is cooking right now. The S&P and the Nasdaq climbed to 13-month highs, boosted by the release of an optimistic US inflation report. And you might be thinking, “It’s not even Toyotathon...what’s up with Toyota stock?” Well, the automaker unveiled an ambitious EV strategy yesterday, and its surging stock propelled Japan’s benchmark Nikkei index to close above 33,000 points for the first time in 33 years.

Tesla’s self-driving ambitions
Elon Musk said the value of Tesla depends on whether it can crack the code to self-driving vehicles. In other words, Musk thinks Tesla shares will shoot up once the electric vehicle company perfects autonomous driving technology, which will, in turn, let Tesla owners turn their cars into robotaxis.
