  - I thought the original plan was for it to be net of PANYNJ tolls, so your IM is a surprise, but I guess it was never set in stone? -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 15:26 2
    - I hadn't heard about the Port Authority being involved. NJ pols have been crying for a year now. They don't ask us about raising the tolls on - Krusty Jun 27, 15:57 1
      - Yeah. I don't know if they were ever involved in the project, I'm just recalling discussion from around the first time the idea was proposed. -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 15:59

STIS, a payment scandal has occurred that a CEO was receiving more money than was publicly acknowledged. How would you interpret this board statement? - Loyola Jun 27, 13:25 19
- "The chairman was in on it." -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 27, 14:37
- I’d want to know why not, and why the board didn’t have a compensation committee to handle it. - znufrii 🦄 Jun 27, 14:03 6
  - They had a cc. Remuneration committee here. It’s claimed none of them were aware of it either. - Loyola Jun 27, 14:11 5
    - Yeah, in that case if they aren’t getting all the information there’s a reason. -- nm* - znufrii 🦄 Jun 27, 14:24
    - who is approving the payments?? -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 14:21 3
      - Apparently the chairman unilaterally approved extra payments, beyond the published salary, and without the knowledge of the remuneration committee. - Loyola Jun 27, 14:26 2
        
        Oh, that's all sorts of not kosher. -- nm - TWuG Jun 27, 14:30 1
        
        Furthermore, the CEO, whilst having paid tax on these extra payments, and there is no suggestion that these extra payments were in any way illegal…he - Loyola Jun 27, 14:44
- Is the chair also the CEO? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 13:27 9
  - No they are two separate people. -- nm - Loyola Jun 27, 13:27 8
    - Then they are in deep doo-doo, i'd imagine. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 13:28 7
      - It’s the use of the word “all” that makes me think. - Loyola Jun 27, 13:34 5
        
        My interpretation - the board needs two pieces of information, what was the compensation package, and what payments were actually made? - Roger More Jun 27, 14:19
        
        Sure, but not enough to see the malfeasance. - TWuG Jun 27, 13:40 3
        
        It’s unclear at this point if that info was purposefully withheld. - Loyola Jun 27, 14:13
        
        So he gets copied on everything but does he take the time to read and analyze it, or have the expertise to understand what he's reading? -- nm - Meg Jun 27, 13:49 1
        
        Also a strong possibility, but most/all should be available to the full board, too. - TWuG Jun 27, 13:59
      - De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da -- nm - JD Jun 27, 13:31

so clarifying: in theory, I could buy an adapter or something that lets me use tesla chargers in advance of VW switching to tesla charger's plug? -- nm* - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 13:12 11
- to expand on TWuG, its not that you can buy an adapter on amazon to make it work. It's a Tesla thing (MagicDock) which handles the part that no one - oblique 🌈 Jun 27, 13:17 5
  - I guess what I'm asking is "if I just want to use my existing home charger and EA chargers, am I cool? or will EA retrofit to elon musk chargers?" -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 13:35 1
    - No retrofit. You're cool. Adapters will be available for VWs made with CCS ports. New VW builds (starting in 25?) will have the NACS port. -- nm - TWuG Jun 27, 13:42
  - For now, yes. But VW will offer adapters, Tesla will offer adapters and 3rd party adapters exist so people can use other home charger systems - TWuG Jun 27, 13:24 2
    - native vw app. brrrrrr. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 13:34 1
      - You've hit the nail on the head as to why I opted for the Mach-E over the ID.4. VW is turrible at tech. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 27, 16:07
- Yes, but not immediately. Only a couple Supercharger locations have been opened to other brands. 2 in NY, 1 in CA, IIRC. -- nm - TWuG Jun 27, 13:14 4
  - I mean in the future. if everyone is switching to elon musk, I will need an adapter to charge my car, right? I don't plan on using tesla chargers - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 27, 13:34 3
    - Your car will stay a CCS port car, so you *may* need to get a CCS to NACS adapter to use the Superchargers unless - TWuG Jun 27, 13:43 2
      - From what I understand, there's no go solution for non Tesla-ported cars to use Tesla chargers right now. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 14:00 1
        
        The Magic Dock and the Tesla App are a start, but the issue is that each brand of car can have wildly different specs - TWuG Jun 27, 14:30

        yes but not for long. by 2028 theyre all going to be all gone. a Senate full of Hawley's, JD Walsh's and Ted Cruz's. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 13:13 2
        
        by 2028 there will be two parties on the right, and the conservative one (maybe they'll call themselves the Real GOP) might be as big as the MAGA one. -- nm - mud Jun 27, 13:21 1
        
        I mean that is what has to happen if their is going to be an actual 'conservative' party. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 13:29
