A person tested negative has just not been proven positive, which is different from being proven negative. PCR test sensitivity can be as low as 70%. https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.16.20066787 A vaccinated person may

People don't usually use these tests to prevent transmission, but to have a formal negative test result, as this is the entry ticket to many shops and services. A proof of vaccination provides the same, while also reducing transmissio

Bosch is quite big, they are also a major supplier of the things e.g. a Tesla is made off, e.g. of the hardware behind the self driving functionality. And health tech like germ detection.

If "tech giant" equals "web advertising platform", then sure. But there are quite a few big physical tech companies within the EU. Bosch and Facebook have about the same revenue, for example. ZF Friedrichshafen, a compan

It's actually pretty easy to see the pattern, isn't it? The US tech giants' business models most often are based on data usage that is inherently incompatible with GDPR (Most are esssentially advertisers). And apparently most

The FUD accusations seem a bit hasty here. The linked Senate hearing doesn't seem to contain negative things about BEVs (it only criticizes the "narrow focus" on them), but instead opts for including hybrid and hydrogen, with

Of course the CO² impact per kwh is higher in Germany. The country started two world wars and the winning factions understandably weren't overly eager to see Germany building nuclear proliferation capabilities. For the first 10 years a

I assume Tesla was just trying to be cheap. As soon as the water supplier said Teslas expected demand (372 m³ per hour) wouldn't be possible, the demand suddenly shrank to 243 m³ per hour. So my guess is that Tesla tried to reduce cape

There are already quite a few plants (Globalfoundries, Bosch, Infineon, TI, Osram, ...) so the qualified work force is there. Germany is also pretty heavy on high tech production, so there's a big existing supplier network. Key supplie

I wouldn't say Teslas Brandenburg factory shows a problem with red tape per se, but it does show that ignoring it won't save you time in Germany. Also, salaries usually only account for low single digit percentages of opex in hi

I think the market forces point in the opposite direction. With the big regions EU and China having standardized charging, they each created a market for different open charging networks to compete in. In e.g. Germany Teslas are <10% of

by bildung 5y ago
This actually seems to be mostly done already. EU mandated CCS and China GB 20234. So if Tesla has to support these anyway, it doesn't really make sense to maintain a Tesla-only charging network in these markets. As I doubt the US will

This depends on the kind of adhesive used for creating the plywood. But yes, you are right, essentially everything outdoor-usable (A100 or AW100) would contain formaldehyde. IIRC only IF20 plywood is made without formaldehyde.
