That's likely averaged out as 80kW when flooring it is only around 100hp. I know my Polestar hits a peak of around 300kW when you put your foot right down.

Difference between a petrol and electric Volvo XC40 is about 200KGs, so not insignificant but not as much as it's sometimes portrayed. EVs built from the ground-up may be able to knock a few of those KGs off too as they won't have

Both France and the UK have floated the idea of extending their nuclear umbrella to include other European nations. Both countries operate ICBM carrying submarines so don't have to deploy nukes on anyone's territory. I wouldn'

For many Europeans that's a far easier thing to comprehend and support than what the US has done in the last few months.

But you only get two weeks of annual leave a year on average to enjoy that extra money. Seems a shame.

Funnily my Boost for Reddit app also using a personal API key has stopped working today. Hopefully I'll be able to fix it but it'll be pretty sad if not.

Battery swapping for trucks is far different from cars though. Trucks are reasonably standardised, they commonly have predestined routes and purpose built depots to operate from. If you're say Pepsi and you've got a fleet of truck

Lighter fluid will easily remove the soft touch coating and you can reapply it again if you wish. Steering wheels are mostly leather.

In the UK at least this used to be pretty common up until recently. It was usually recommended to wire your washing machines into a fixed wall spur instead of using a plug. Incidentally my mums house almost burnt down due to a washing machi

Seems damn expensive. In the UK you can get a SIM card for £20 with unlimited data & calls which is run on one of the larger 5G networks. I usually have the opposite problem though, I barely use 5GBs on a given month.

Mines 8 years old at this point (so old it's a Nokia branded one) and it still lasts 3-4 weeks. I wonder why it's held up better?

A TV used to cost a few weeks pay and now you can get a TV for the equivalent of a few hours pay. There just isn't much of a market for a $3000+ TV.

Surely the fact that it's a three ton machine that can accelerate from 0-60 in 3 seconds is relevant too. As far as I'm aware the F150 can't match that.

If this is what society has to pay to improve Tesla's product, then perhaps they should have to share the software with other car manufacturers too. Otherwise every car brand will have to kill a whole heap of people too until they mana

Seems strange, in Europe where Tesla chargers are open to all CCS2 vehicles, the prices are the same for everyone. On most chargers you can just tap your payment card to start the charge, although I think you can get cheaper rates as a memb

It seems like easy money to me to be honest but they seem to have given up like you say. Google assistant is declining at a terrific rate too - I asked it what the time was a few days ago and got a Wikipedia definition.
