Sat in the rear, it feels claustrophobic. I’m told they will solve that with extra daylight lighting installed behind the rear headrests.

- gherkinnn 3y agoExtra daylight lighting? I love it when problems that should not be are so highly engineered.
- surfingdino 3y agoOr, they could "solve" it by installing extra screens on the walls showing ads for package holidays. Of course, that would raise the temperature inside, but it's something that could be solved with extra AC, which would need large batteries and more frequent stops, but that could be solved by... seems to be the way of "innovation" these days, we no longer fix what's broken, but break what works and charge extra for it.
- nozzlegear 3y agoAre you inventing dystopian scenarios just so you can be angry, or do you have access to Polestar's internal plans?
- beretguy 3y agoThere’s no need to invent anything. We are already living in dystopia.
- nozzlegear 3y agoMaybe you are, I put my phone down every now and then though and choose to “touch grass” as the kids say. Things aren’t so bad.
- beretguy 3y agoMaybe I am? You enjoy being snarky?
- nozzlegear 3y agoJust pointing out that while you apparently feel you're living in a dystopia, I don't feel the same. Things aren't perfect but they're definitely not dystopian from my point of view. And come on, who doesn't enjoy being snarky now and then?
- talldayo 3y agoIt could be that you actually do live in dystopia, and lack the willpower or observational acumen to acknowledge it.
- nozzlegear 3y agoAnd it could be that you don’t live in dystopia, but lack the willpower or observational acumen to acknowledge it. Perhaps instead of slinging weak insults and complaining about dystopian life, you should go do something about it?
- talldayo 3y agoNeither of us know anything about how the other lives. It's entirely plausible that either of us could be in total denial of our surroundings (which is a recurring personality in the VC/entrepreneurial sphere).
- nozzlegear 3y agoThen I have to question why you wrote the message you did in the first place, because it’s hard not to take it as an insult from a random passerby.

- surfingdino 3y agoI am not angry, I just observe trends that started with the realisation that raw materials can be sold for more if they are transformed into products. The unbound inventiveness of the human race never ceases to amaze me, but I also see how some of it develops along paths that result in solutions which are overly complex and require even more complex solutions to "fix" them.
- rvnx 3y agoActually these are more likely plans of Tesla to bring new revenues; ads displayed inside the cars.
- surfingdino 3y agoNot inside, but on the outside, remotely-delivered ads are now being displayed on food delivery scooters https://www.sixteen-nine.net/2022/08/03/london-dooh-start-up-touts-ads-that-deliver-with-screens-on-commercial-e-scooters/ https://www.sixteen-nine.net/2022/08/03/london-dooh-start-up... Another use of ad displays was seen in London around Christmas https://www.newsflare.com/video/606086/eros-in-piccadilly-circus-covered-with-hoarding-and-screens-to-prevent-people-from-climbing https://www.newsflare.com/video/606086/eros-in-piccadilly-ci... It was monetisation of denial of physical access. Clever.
- rvnx 3y agoClever, you are hired!
- chgs 3y agoAll large companies and cartels eventually bow to pressure. “If you don’t bombard your customers with adverts then you are leaving money on the table”
- Maken 3y agoDo you realise Uber and Lyft are already doing this, right?
- nozzlegear 3y agoActually no, I don’t, I’ve never used Uber or Lyft.
