Yeah, like I said I agree with the spirit of your comment, I was nitpicking because I thought that part was weakening a point I agreed with

I think it really depends on car. A friend of mine bought a R5, it took 6 weeks to be delivered because of the backlog, so I guess: build better cars?

It's a really nice car to drive though. Trunk size is too limited and get a hard pass from me (I think my next car will be an utility vehicle for my windsurf). But 25k for the battery size, interior, how nice it is to drive, I think is

The PCF is arguing for development and of a subsidized Kei-like electric car (basically a 10k€ EV), and a retraining of car manufacturing workers before any punitive incentive (ZFE, carbon tax on car fuel). This is hardly anti-electric. I d

I agree with the spirit of your comment, but I disagree on the first sentence. If EV were 1% of all sales, a 26% increase would be very low indeed. A 26% increase when you have 20% of a stable market is basically a company getting from a fi

Depends on your HVAC system and the maintenance cost in your area. For me at 150€ per intervention it wouldn't make any sense, but I have heard some HVAC develop a smell and in that case, UV is likely to prevent it.

Unless you're on your phone, with that clear of a view and that much space, 100% you would dodge that, especially in a sedan where your clearance is lower than a truck.

I think you might have misunderstood someone here. The person you quoted made a generic statement about what we should expect from an autonomous vehicle, but never said (nor implied imho) that the person he responds to didn't expect th

Russia never sent a war declaration to Ukraine. It's not legally a war (that's why Putin and cronies call it 'special operation')

What's missing from this is China making a lot of soft calls to SK, basically saying 'we like you, we can pressure NK into a more peaceful position, invest with us, we're all Asians', and SK seems to be responding positi

On this particular issue, i think all parties that reach power want the same thing: more educated people, cheaper (because let's be honest, a "left-wing" party in Europe that conquer power in Europe is at most a "third w

Is that a joke? I don't see any more pro-capital, pro neo-liberalism person you can point too. At least Buffet acknowledge the class war (and bet on it to make money, but that's beside the point).

Like I said when they put workers in chains two weeks ago, shitting on foreign workers and all the cheerleaders here and probably on less liberal outlets are presenting an image of the US individualist culture that I now have to acknowledge

Exactly. I don't care what semantic games you play. People who argue on semantics are uninteresting most of the time (unless the argument is about history basically, but even in this case, it's often a waste of time). If someone s

Of course you can very often open doors after a rollover, maybe it's very different in US cars but here we have complete stress and collision tests, and if doors can't be opened after a rollover, your car won't pass and won&#

Regulation in Europe mandate that doors have to unlock when airbags are triggered. If the model involved was legal in the EU, it was either a mechanical issue or an electronic one, and maybe not exclusively Tesla's fault, but it was ca

Not really: this past few years, listed companies tend to be _very_ pessimistic on their quarterly projection, and then reveal that either: it wasn't that bad, and nothing change, or that is was great, and their valuation shoots up. We

In fact, that point of view is interesting because the argument for the police state since 9/11 is 'but domestic terrorists!' (although nowadays it's back to 'think of the children'). If domestic islamic terror
