I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

This song, "The Jitterbug", was a song that was actually intended to be in The Wizard of Oz (1939), but was ultimately cut from the film (though a line alluding to it was kept in).
Here it is, in a clip from Tom And Jerry: Back To Oz!

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.
