That's not ambiguity, that's you willfully misinterpreting a definitive statement.

I don't know what the sign that you parked at said, because you haven't told us. I do know that you're arguing against literally everyone in this thread trying (unsuccessfully) to get anyone to agree with you. Based on that, I'm guessing the problem wasn't with the signage.

How is that ambiguous? You can only park there if you're charging. If the charger is broken, you're not charging, so you can't park there.

It's only ambiguous in the sense that, you could park there, and run an extension cord to the closest building and plug in and now you're technically charging but not using the city's charging infrastructure as I'm sure they intended when they wrote that sign.

What did the sign say?

Many of the public charging spots in my city say "reserved for EV charging only", which unambiguously means that you can only park there if you're charging. If the charger is broken, you can't charge there, so you can't park there.

Why are you even in this community if you don't like the game?

Everything except the full spelling is the verbatim headline from the article. I don't think this community has a rule about using the exact headline, but many communities do, and it's pretty good practice.

In this case, they backed the wrong person.

To protect to company, you don't always want to protect the more senior position. You should want to back the more principled or legally stronger position.

Campbell's has already lost by having this out there, and there's a good chance they will lose the wrongful dismissal suit as well.

Getting some skin in the game. Can't you read?

I think he's asking for dick pics.

It doesn't have to mean pulling away from the global community. It just means that the global community needs to build itself up to be more than three US corporations in a trenchcoat.

It doesn't have a battery cooling system, so the batteries degrade quickly and significantly.

Newer models are slightly better, but not as good as pretty much every other option.

Do any of them implement blocking for piracy websites in the way that Japan wants?

What if we just say that they're smuggling drugs?

Anecdotal, but my 2019 Tesla model 3 is at 86% of the original rated range. At max charge it shows 332 km, and it was rated for 390 or so when I bought it. The battery has another 2 years of warranty, but that only kicks in if it drops to 70%, which I don't think will happen.

As for buying used, as long as you avoid Nissan Leaf, I don't think there would be a huge issue with any other model. I wish this article had broken down the models that needed battery replacements rather than just by year, because I suspect the issues are going to be concentrated in a few specific makes or models.

There are EVs that are 10+ years old already. Most of them Tesla. But you can take a look at that, and hopefully it'll help you figure out whether the degradation is acceptable to you. As a quick rule of thumb, I think 80% after 5 years is pretty normal, but the degradation also slows down over time.
