The current system of excise tax rewards those with efficient cars (though not EVs) and penalises big polluters.

Unless this comes with an additional carbon/pollution penalty this is going to be great news for V8 Commodore drivers, and terrible news for everyone driving a Toyota Aqua.

In the mean time, salty EV owners get to pay triple the road tax per km that a petrol driven Prius does.

They were relatively quick to pull the 1.13GHz Pentium III from the market when it turned out to have stability issues from pushing Coppermine too far.

This feels like a repeat of that, but with Intel sticking their heads in the sand and screwing over customers instead.
