Yes, a companies DNA can be quite an obstacle to survival in changing markets, but that sounds like a cheap excuse for bad management. The reality is rather: nothing stays forever. All technology markets are in a consistant change and you a

Service stations can be 300 km apart because this seems to be an acceptable distance with gas powered cars. If there is a demand for service stations every 150km, wouldn't you think they would be built? The remote regions you describe,

Isn't that the point? That people in poor countries mostly buy old cars from other countries? Which currently of course means they are gas powered. But what about the day when old cars start to be mostly electric? Wouldn't electri

They often do, and the wait might be longer than with Tesla. Just look how long the ID.Buzz has been teased until it came onto the road. They also constantly show prototypes at trade fairs which never make it into production at all or only

No, it wasn't. That was the second gen bot which isn't fully operational yet. The first gen model walked onto the stage without support.

Yes, autopilot/FSD isn't there yet. Otherwise, Tesla is on a great track and growing like mad. How is he over promising with Tesla? Yes, Semi/Cybertruck are late, but it seems they are about to come to market. Meanwhile the M

I really don't get all the critique of the Tesla bot. Yes, it isn't even close to a finished product. But it isn't meant to be. Not yet. But it is the development platform for an upcoming product. And like with software produ

In principle I would agree, but the world isn't black and white. First of all, in the PC world, there are few machines which are completely and well documented. That Linux runs on so much PC hardware is more due to the popularity than

For me, it isn't annoying, I basically cannot understand it most of the time. Which of course kills the whole thing for me.

I found the announced enhancements to car play very interesting. To my understanding, it aims for replacing most of the user-facing software in cars. This is very tempting for car manufacturers, not to compete with car play, but just embrac

Yes and? Gas consumption for heating is going to rise, but that is only one part. Germany has storage for 3 full months and of course the gas deliveries to Germany are going to continue and being intensified. There is no reason to assume th

Yes, Germany is sane. And no one is freezing to death here. The gas storages are almost filled (91%), so Germany won't run out of gas. I don't know why people need to tell so many lies about the German situtation at the moment. Ye

And yet it was Germany which through this summer increased the power generation and exports to replace the missing French nuclear power in the European grid and keep it stable.

That is the same issue with the idea of keeping the German reactors running. Everything has been planned with the scheduled stop of operations at the end of the year. After politics is now considering to keep them running, the whole technic

What you write ist plain untrue. The cabinet member who is a former Greenpeace executive is part of the foreign ministry, the job is to talk to other countries about actions against the climate change. In no way is she responsible for the G

Actually it is the other way around. The houses designed for electric heating usually don't have any heating pipes but just resistive heaters as part of the floor. You cannot convert that to heat pumps, you have to build a new heating

The term "charging station" is hinting at a too big infrastructure. All you need is a power outlet per car. If the car parks for 8 to 9 hours, you don't need a huge amount of power to recharge it.

It is very easy to keep up expanding renewable energy with the ramp up of electric cars. In Germany (which is pretty far north), about 10 solar panels are enough to cover one cars electric needs. And it is not true, that batteries are non-r

How is the switch to electric cars a "staggering scale"? It is done as part of the natural renewal. Cars are driven for 10-15 years until they are scrapped and replaced with a new car. This should be electric the next time around.

There are a lot of western reporters on the ground in the Ukraine. Sometimes more, sometimes less close to the front. One difference to earlier conflicts is, that many Ukrainians of course have smartphones and consequently can record pictur

I think NATO would respond, but non-nuclear. There is no need to answer tactical nuclear weapons with a nuclear strike. There are tons of NATO air forces available to strike against Russian troops in Ukrainian territory. They would just obl

It was important. As the Ukraine already attacked targets there, recently Russia moved their submarine base from Sevastopol to some mainland harbor. That means, effectively this harbor has been lost to Russia as a consequence of the war. Ne

I would assume so. Probably not with a nuclear answer, but some restricted air strikes against Russian troops inside Ukrainian territory.

No, Russia isn't waiting for a reason to invade the Baltic states. If they wanted, they could have come up with it any time. However, that would mean a war with NATO, which they couldn't possibly win. So far they are struggling ba

Besides not being a native speaker, I never thought about using an article with Ukraine. Now that you mention it, in German we always use an article with Ukraine, I never noticed it. But this is true for some other countries. Countries like

The Ukraine can do it, if it gets supplied with the weapons to do it. Even with the weapons they got so far, they managed to hurt the Russian military a lot - hence the mobilization. They got some very powerful weapons, but still limited in

Sure, but the current gas price on the international markets comes from demand exceeding available production. If Europe would half its gas usage, the price would plummet. It is already going down as gas supply is stabilizing despite Russia
