I love “Havana Effect” as a frame for this 🇨🇺 > German lawmaker Jens Gieseke, who represented the party in discussions on CO2 standards for vehicles, has criticized what they call the Commission’s “prohibition ideology.” Gieseke has long warned against the decision to phase out combustion engine vehicles, predicting a “Havana effect,” with Europeans continuing to drive old combustion-powered cars for decades, akin to the situation in the Cuban capital. > **[Europe's Largest Political Party Wants To Stop The Combustion Engine Ban](https://www.motor1.com/news/705837/eep-leaked-election-manifesto-ice-ban/)** > > The center-right European People’s Party group (EPP) expresses commitment to the phased-out approach of combustion engines in Europe. ---

The tweel would do nothing to improve rolling resistance and tread life at the same ride quality. Retread-able tweel may reduce long term cost? Still haven’t seen a tweel promo producing lateral force. Opinion, not fact based: Issue with low rolling resistance compounds is that the wear really fast in anything other than highway use. Last rental car challenge that I did corded all (4) tires in 50 runs (rotated 30 runs in) (FWD Hyundai?) Previous car example, Camaro V6 auto with “performance” tires 3/32nds wear with 60 runs? ---

As much as I want to hate it, Tesla killed it in my opinion with the design. EV’s give you the freedom to make basically any design and they capitalized on it. ---
