I kinda like the space ship sound my EV makes while driving slow (under 20 km/h?). It's not very noticeable inside the vehicle. And makes way less noise than fossil cars on the outside. I can also disable it until next trip, but I

The main structure of the tire looks almost like voronoi 3d mesh. Do you think it's voronoi, or just looks similar? I'm kinda surprised they didn't go for something like a gyroid mesh.

Probably not, you can only escalate this trade war so many times before it becomes unsustainable by one or both parties. China will probably retaliate by banning a major US tech company, maybe Apple? Keep doing this a couple of times and pr

Most of them are still so slow, unresponsive and laggy that they break any illusion of "touch" when interacting with the UI. The iPad is almost 10 years old now.. come on..

Electric bikes are getting more and more popular here in Norway (and we got hills and cold weather). Studded tires and an electric motor doing most of the work helps.

Demand is high for both new and used EVs in Norway. EVs are free (or significantly cheaper) on most toll roads, parking, and pay at most 50% of regular fees for ferries. Owning an old short range EV as a second car can easily save you 1800€

As an interesting side note to this, while we might (temporarily) lose some range on cold winter days, our car batteries have remarkable little degradation compared to EVs from warmer climates. Used EVs imported from i.e. southern France to
