> Other automakers have terrible track records with hazardous waste. GM agreed to pay a $773 million settlement in 2010 with the US, 14 states, and the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe over “environmental liabilities” including hazardous waste at its properties.
> In 2022, New Jersey sued Ford for dumping toxic paint sludge and contaminating “hundreds of acres of soil, water, wetlands” and state-recognized tribal lands of the Ramapough Lenape Nation.
A fine of a three quarters of a billion seems like a lot. Sounds like the issues were with GM factories vs Tesla's issue in only the service centers? Would square with Tesla's fine being only $1.5 Million.
