Maybe the commercial companies should not compete on quality of data with publicly available data from the government ? They can still provide their app, but must offer something better than just the same data. WTF.

This time it seems different. The BAFA explicitly lists even the long range and performance models as base price of less than 40k. Listed under Model 3 2020.

Actually a new gas car for 20k EUR is definitely more expensive than a 40k Tesla over the years. Gas cars burn a lot of money over the years. And those expensive cars also then get cheaper to buy on the used car markets. Then again Tesla is

Many US citizens I talk to, seem to have the stance that they do not want to pay any taxes and that taxation is theft. I am sure California and others could do more and be held accountable (every service provider should and must be), but th

Why are there still these death traps on Highways ? No matter whether driving on AutoPilot or Lane Assist or manually, it is statistically quite likely a car can and will drift of for a second. I have trouble thinking of any such places on

The feature in this case was never payed for it seems. By nobody. It was wrong to list the car as having the feature. Which is why it can be deactivated, BUT this means the buyers have a right to return it up the chain to whoever made the m

it seems in this case the expensive software was never licensed to begin with. It was on the PC by accident so to speak. Its like buying a PC with an internet activated piece of software which is later deactivated remotely because the softw

My experience with highly priced BMW left me with the impression there is no real difference anymore unless someone thinks having knobs and buttons everywhere is a sign of quality. BMWs can be nice, but they (at least mine) have had some pe

It is highly dependent on the person (and book) indeed. I always preferred book reading and learning like that. Carefully thinking it through and then working on it. Worked well so far. But over time (especially reading material from my kid

Free markets push everything to the level of just bearable. Bad, but not quite bad enough not to use a service you rely on. Seats are tight, just not tight enough to make people in general seriously consider to not fly because of that. Food

Which is why taxation needs to get higher for higher incomes (no matter what kind), which would flatten that curve. Otherwise societies always end up with only token upward mobility and de-facto aristocracy. Often taxation gets to its highe

sorry, but where are we seeing that ? Has Porsche already delivered any electric cars to customers ? Or are you talking about the fact that the e.g German media finally has a darling to talk about, even if it is really really pricey and slo

I actually plug in my nano key upside down while I am not using it. Inadvertent texting aside, I had real issues when programs like Lightroom suddenly started acting on dozens of random text shortcuts.

Absolutely. But it is great for the extremely rich to be able to point to the few new e.g billionaires each generation as examples that anything is possible and if you are not then you must be lazy.

But in Germany it is mostly us (i.e. the citizens) having to pay directly via taxes on electricity or fuel etc and arcane ways to get any subsidies. Where big corporations are doing squat it seems.

Would that just be locations or actual stalls ? Because the number of actual stalls I most often saw here in Germany from e.g Ionity is limited to 2. Which is a no-go for me.
