Hybrid motors take a lot of stress from the ICE during load changes. This makes the ICEs potentially live much longer. A lot of taxis areound here are older hybrid Toyotas. They must have at least 400,000km mileage already.

> You need oil and regular oil changes. Slightly OT, but I recently found that here in Germany there is a service where you can go to just like to a car wash without making an appointment. They will do the oil change for you within ten m

Not sure if this plays a role, but they are owned by a Chinese holding company, so no longer 100% Scandinavian.

From my years at a major car supplier I know that Toyota was never interested in our latest developments, even if we offered them at a cheaper prize. They only purchased components that had been in use for other cars. I own a Toyota Avensis

It has nothing to do with the other cars, even if you desperately want it to. It's truck drivers not keeping enough distance and are distacted by their phones. Watch that accident in Great Britain where the driver looks up from his pho

It is really saddening that your comment gets downvoted. People really seem to enjoy limiting the freedom of others.

> Cars racing at 200kmh+ just 30cm or so from you is not fun anywhere. Funny that this only happens to people who are advocating for a speed limit. Maybe you should stick to the center of your lane which should be at least 2.50m on the A

There are more accidents on the Autobahn due to trucks than due to excessive speed.

It is not lobbying, people just do not want to get rid of it. I do not want it to be abolished. I do not want to be bound to a 130km/h speed limit if there is not much traffic. We are in 2023, cars have to go to inspection every 2 year

Well, you could post a vast amount of comments into social media and see if and how others react to it. It's still humans doing the work, but they would not even know. If this was actually done (and this is just wild baseless speculati

There are sodium ion batteries available at aliexpress. The claimed advantges (written in an unintentially comical way) are: - better safety - same number of cycles as LiFePo - much better capacity at low temperatures - protects environment

Ok, I get excited by seeing the numbers, but can someone please explain in a single sentence where this can be used and how big the overall impact would be?

This is not the same league, maybe not even the same sport. Markdown is for convenient and quick "good enough" looking text editing. It is very good at what it is supposed to do, but the limitations are quite obvious. Typst has it

When talking about Tesla in Sweden, what does that even mean? Do they have a factory in Sweden or just some dealerships and repair shops? And how about the rest of the world blocking mail, services, etc. for Volvo and Polestar?

Same in Germany, where the left party and labor union drive a campaign against Tesla Grünheide (just southeast of Berlin) with very nebulous claims such as safe working conditions or wages. Those claims are never backed by hard numbers, jus
