Port Klang Authority to enforce weight limits on trucks transporting goods from Westport and Northport

Haulage trucks carrying goods to and from Northport and Westport in Port Klang weighing more than the permitted limit will face restrictions enforced by the Port Klang Authority, reported The Star. Trucks carrying goods to and from these locations cannot exceed the permitted combined vehicle weight (BGK), unveiled Port Klang Authority (PKA) chairman Ean Yong Hian Wah.

“The National Logistics Centre, which is under the transport ministry, has instructed PKA to fully enforce restrictions on haulage trucks carrying loads exceeding the BGK to or from the port. Import transactions will be reviewed at booking level and bookings will be rejected if the total load exceeds the BGK, Ean Yong noted.

Export transactions will be weighed at the port entrance, and if trucks are caught violating the BGK weight liimit three times, these trucks will not be allowed to enter the ports any more, he continued. However, it will be the offending vehicles which will be blacklisted from entering, and not the companies that own the trucks, he showcased.

The decision to enforce weight limits for haulage trucks was made at the national logistics task force meeting chaired by transport minister Anthony Loke on November 25 last year, and the decision to implement the restriction was made following a study conducted between December 30 and 31 last year to determine the number of vehicles that exceeded the BGK, and the number of those registered with PKA.

“The study was carried out in both Northport and Westport and it was estimated that some 20% to 30% of the vehicles exceeded the BGK and did not comply with the Transport Ministry’s regulations,” Ean Yong stated. Logistics companies dealing with Port Klang were required to register with PKA, and 340 companies have complied and registered their haulier trucks with the authority.

The reason behind the decision to enforce weight limit restrictions was to curb damage to roads, as well as to prevent accidents, noting that road damage in Port Klang has “become an alarming concern” for logistics industry players, and has tarnished the image of Port Klang.

“One of the main factors that contribute to road damage is haulage trucks carrying loads exceeding the BGK and this has also contributed to several fatal accidents in the past,” Ean Yong revealed.

Tesla protests gain momentum while the hate is dividing Tesla owners

Protests at Tesla stores are gaining momentum across the US as people are fighting back against Elon Musk’s government takeover, and the hate is spreading to owners.

Last week, we reported on a new effort to organize protests at Tesla stores worldwide, but primarily in North America.

There were significant turnouts to disrupt Tesla operations by picketing in front of dozens of stores.

But the movement is ongoing, and there were protests against this weekend and more planned for the coming weeks:

Many of the protests from this weekend appeared to be bigger than the last ones.

There was a big turnout at a Tesla store in Seattle that reportedly ended up closing the location:

There were reportedly as many as 200 people who gathered to protest Elon Musk at the Fort Lauderdale store in Florida:

There are dozens of similar examples at Tesla stores all around the US and Canada, and the movement is now spreading to Europe.

These protests have been peaceful, and people are justifying going after Tesla for being Elon Musk’s piggy bank.

However, the growing negative sentiment against Tesla also attracts criminal activities like vandalism, and sometimes against Tesla owners rather the organization itself.

Tesla owners, especially Cybertruck owners, have been increasingly reporting animosity from other road consumers, and in some cases, Tesla vehicles are getting tagged by anti-fascism graffiti.

In one case in California, a vandal put isolating foam into the charge connectors of a few charging stalls, rendering them useless.

A couple of Supercharger stalls in Utah were graffitied—pictured above. Tesla mentioned that it would remove the graffiti today and that it will “press charges for vandalism at Superchargers.”.

The blowback is more significant than I thought it would be. I thought things would end last weekend, but not only was this weekend’s protest bigger, but it sounds like now there are more being planned.

I couldn’t confirm if they were indeed able to close the store in Seattle, but if that’s true, that’s also a direct impact on Tesla’s operation.

It’s just sad that some vandals are going after Tesla owners. That’s just stupid to me. A.

The Volkswagen ID. Buzz Is Already Seeing Huge Discounts

Think the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz was priced a bit steeply when it finally arrived in America? You aren't alone. Though VW's retro-electric van has been eagerly anticipated for years, fans almost immediately balked at its $59,995 starting price—a lot to ask for an EV with, at most, 234 miles of range.

But the ID. Buzz is much more than just its specs on paper. I have driven several now and have found them all to be utterly charming, not to mention quite competent at fast charging. So here's some good news for anyone who's been on the fence about one: We're already seeing the ID. Buzz receive big discounts from local dealers.

A quick nationwide search of [website] demonstrates that of the approximately 1,500 ID. Buzz vans for sale as of this writing, dozens are going for well under that $59,995 starting price—or a little over it. That's arguably closer to what most people expected the ID. Buzz to fetch when it launched, and certainly a nice chunk of savings for a three-row people mover.

Take, for example, this ID. Buzz for sale in Boulder, CO. While it's only the single-motor, rear-wheel-drive base Pro S version, it's nicely equipped and going for $48,581. That's almost $12,000 in savings. Another in Long Island is a loaded all-wheel-drive 1st Edition in a lovely Mahi Green color, now selling for $57,092. That's a $15,250 discount from this dealer. And here's another 1st Edition van in Rhode Island, going for a healthy $62,927.

Those are all solid deals for such a large and capable zero-emission machine. While these deals may not last, that they're happening so soon after the ID. Buzz's launch may indicate less demand for the vans than Volkswagen and its dealers initially anticipated.

But I say that situation can be worked to your advantage. There still aren't many larger, family-friendly EV options in the [website] market right now; if you want a three-row option, your choices are this or the Kia EV9. While some versions of the EV9 beat the ID. Buzz on range (the Kia offers up to 304 miles of electric driving in some configurations) the VW van is a wonderful option too. I personally find it to be charming and fun, and a very solid option if you need something bigger but still electric—and simply different as well.

All VW ID. Buzz vans use a 91 kWh battery. Trims include the Pro S starting at $59,995, Pro S Plus at $63,495, and the launch-only 1st Edition at $65,495. Rear-wheel-drive models will offer 234 miles of EPA-estimated range, while all-wheel-drive models will offer 231 miles. The vans are not eligible for a federal tax credit because they are made in Germany, but as with any new EV, that will still be rolled into the lease price.

Will dealer discounts be enough to get people buzzing about the ID. Buzz again? Let us know what you think in the comments.
