Europe is wide continent. For example, in Finland most new cars sold are automatic. Hybrids and EVs make big portion of sales (even a majority) and are of course automatic, but it has been a longer trend.

I would rather say it's remarkable how dumb many adults are despite their age (compared to kids).

True, they also run such a trains here in Finland, an overnight trip from south to north (Lapland). The train tickets for our family of 5 plus a car are so expensive (total 1200 eur) compared to minimal marginal cost for using our EV (150 e

Trains don't operate from door to door. The last mile problem persist, unless you travel between railway connected city centres. Not everyone lives anywhere near a railway station. (I live in Europe which has relatively good railway ne

Impressive, but they are probably optimizing purely for burst power, not for efficiency, making the trick easier, because the car has an ICE delivering the base power. Compared to Tesla, they have to optimize for both power AND efficiency,

I do ~900 km trips with 2019 Model 3 SR+ multiple times per year in Scandinavia. -20°C winter temperatures are not unusual. Travelling with my family, including young kids. No problems. 2-3 hours driving, then 30-50 min charging. I actually

It's pity that almost none of the carrier boards feature dual camera connectors for stereo video applications. The StereoPi is a rare exemption. The Pi CM4 board itself has pinouts for dual cameras, no additional hardware needed. The f

I have been self-hosting my email for few years on Digital Ocean VPS. The biggest downside is that your messages are very often classified as spam by big players such as GMail or Microsoft, despite implementing DKIM, DMARC and SPF etc prope

It took few years for traditional auto to learn that Tesla-style dedicated EV platform is the way to go, but they are doing it now. Their first EVs were ICE cars "converted" to electric (e.g. e-Golf) but VW now has their ID-platfo

Yeah, the final permission for the project was granted in 2002, almost 20 years ago. So I was also 20 years younger. You know, after certain age everything feels "just few years" ago.

When the said plant project started over 10 years ago, I was an opponent of nuclear power, participating in demonstrations etc. Nowadays I'm really thankful for the new plant, as every non-fossil energy source is absolutely crucial, no

I did read it. You still made an untrue generalisation and in the last sentence tried to narrow it down. Why not just wrote like "I live in <your country> and here..."

Tesla app does not have ads. There's a sub-menu where you can buy upgrades, but those are not promoted or anyhow popping up.

You should be able to set screen time for yourself without possibility to disable immediately, like the noprocast/delay settings in HN.

Tesla uses common technology available. Mass-produced consumer cars haven't yet adopted lidar, because the technology has been too expensive and bulky, until very recent development. The next-gen premium cars will likely offer lidar as

Same in Finland. Wooden stick frames are most common but I wouldn't describe them as "flimsy". There is heavy regulation for energy efficiency etc. Judging purely from stereotypical perspective[1], the houses in US seem to em

Teslas also have a similar "tow mode" in menu settings. But the case in the original post was a power failure condition, i.e. highly critical error mode.

I don't think most modern premium cars have parking brake systems with hand lever anymore, even ICE cars?

by Yaggo 5y ago
That's technically correct. There's even serviceable transmission fluid and filter.

by Yaggo 5y ago
You can't provide manual override for electronically controlled system in the case of power failure. To disengage an electronic parking brake, at least in Teslas, you need power. If there's a serious problem in power supply (of 12

Yeah, we can argue about the semantics of "by default", but the point is that the traditional drivetrain has more backup options than electric car, which must solely rely on (parking) brakes.

by Yaggo 5y ago
No. If the car is in power failure mode, it means that all systems may shutdown in any moment. So if you let the user to override the very important safety feature (of applying the electronic parking brake), there's a high risk that th
