As if someone who is ready to spend 150k$ (minimum) on a car chooses between EV and ICE based on that. Beyond unbelievable, almost as if Trump was ever elected

As if someone who is ready to spend 150k$ (minimum) on a car chooses between EV and ICE based on that. Beyond unbelievable, almost as if Trump was ever elected president of the US. Nitpick, as I'm on my throwaway account: HN should ban users who post twitter links for life.

That’s a fine opinion. I still uphold that such throwaway troll accounts should be banned, but to each his own.

  I appreciate your opinion. I'd do even more so if you'd tell me why I should be banned. The OP mentions a "sock-puppet PR company" aiming to support Aston Martin. And please let's keep the spirit of HN and be open, honest, direct and respectful. On twitter: Aside from 4chan and parler, do you know a more toxic social network than twitter? Besides, Bosch (known for diesel-gate) doesn't lend much credibility to the claims (of course, abiding to twitter laws without any proof).

    Fair enough, though I’m still not convinced everyone who posts a Twitter link should be banned. There are plenty of interesting on topic things I’ve Twitter I’ve found on here that I enjoyed learning from far from any off topic or political content. I can’t speak to Parler, but even 4chan is known to have its intelligent content, just the culture over there doesn’t really lead to things being discussed in a way that HN would appreciate (nor do I appreciate it all the time) FWIW I’m less convinced this is a troll account now, I’ve just become weary of brand new throw aways sharing their “hot takes” and not much else.

Why? This was discovered and breaking news on Twitter today, it has not been picked up by any media outlets yet

  Just don't give any credibility to twitter/facebook/4chan anymore. Read wikipedia, contributions of authentic authors, credible and unbiased media like hbr.org etc. If something does not get picket up by media outlets, it's a sign it's even less credible.

    This is Michael Liebreich, founder of Bloomberg New Energy Finance. That's as credible as you get in the energy/transport sector
