   Continued exposure to the kinds of people that hang around with billionaires, I’d guess. That can change a person.

   I was surprised to see a very popular model here (Qashqai) doesn’t have a full EV version yet, only hybrid.

   Could that be from other things though? Better tyres, improved safety-barrier technology, etc.?

   This is my biggest bugbear with VW (and related) cars. The "it's below 4ºc" message has the same warning tone as messages about tyre pressures, engine malfunctions, etc.

   I don't think there's ever a good time for that. I'm saying it's not clear that their drop in sales is because of him, or competition, or other factors.

    Is it up to congress though? Not the Supreme Court?

    That was true with something like the G1000, but their newer avionics are very much touchscreen in favour of physical buttons. See the G3X or G3000 for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21eOTAXdXLM&t=18s

    There was a scam which targeted landlines, where the scammer would call and then keep the line open while you "hung up" (except you didn't) and you dialled the known number of your bank. The scammer simulates a ringing line,

    I always think if I won the lottery, I'd love to just make my local town awesome. Fund the schools, pay for parks, buy empty retail units and make them community spaces for artists. That sort of thing.

    That level of telemetry-upload used to be easy enough to disable as there was a physical SIM card (usually in the glovebox); without that there was no remote connection. But I suspect it's a lot harder now, thanks to eSIMs etc.

    I’ve always thought their implementation of this is pretty poor. Lots of granular options but it’s difficult to cover all bases.
