The thing that helped me most is looking up the costs for owning a car and building that into my budget. I know that as long as the sum of all rides in a month is below that figure, I'm coming out ahead. (plus the added comfort of not

Changing that is the entire goal of the "anti-car" crowd, right? They want city-planers to build neighborhoods that are walkable, accessible by public transport and don't require owning a car. And they want them everywhere, f

If you take into account the current costs for cars, you can do a lot of kilometer per cab every month. I‘ve done the math for me - I could take the cab around 20-30 times a month for an average distance, for the costs associated with a VW

I have plenty of cash because I’m living in a place where I don’t need a car.

You’re being sarcastic, but I’ve been there and done that. For $reasons. Under other circumstances, the answer would be “take a cab.”

This data does not show what it pretends to show. The underlying statistics are heavily skewed in favor of Tesla by various factors: * Autopilot can only be enabled in good conditions and relies on human drivers in all other, to the point o

Free in my state until 7th grade, then capped to 100 EUR/year. Bloody socialism.

The number was problematic for various reasons: The usual comparison is vs. all cars on the road, but Teslas are comparatively new cars with a lot of recent and expensive safety features not available in older cars. They’re also likely to b

You are correct, by now there are some standards. But look at the clusterfuck that the current digitization initiative is: for each service to be offered, a different municipality is responsible. Instead of all municipalities funding a comm

If Tesla were a startup with a dozen employees, I'd buy your argument. But Tesla is a manufacturing company that hires people that need to compete for a job to make enough money to feed themselves. None of the people categorizing image

The thing that's alleged here is that Tesla is blatantly breaking the law to fire employees that are engaging in lawful activities. How many employees need to be affected before this becomes "unreasonable"? 26? 50? One hundre

That's not a data protection problem, however. No data protection law forbids digitization of government services. It's a common excuse, though. The primary issue limiting digitization of government services is federalization. A l

That is a very simplifying view of the legal situation and that's not helpful at all. First, it only applies if you collect PII - depending on what they collect, they might not be subject to the GDPR at all. Second, informed consent is

A straight line would require that you know where to go. But the bean (or rather it’s occupant) doesn’t - it has no eyes to look outside. So essentially it decides “it’s uncomfortably warm, let’s go elsewhere” until it’s no longer uncomfort

It’s very common in Germany. August last year, Berlins disposal site caught fire with 25 tons of not disposed ammunition on the site. In winter, they blow up old ammunition every week - they stop for the summer due to fire hazard.
