I'm not sure what this has to do with e-scooters in Paris though. Disregarding red pedestrian traffic lights is the norm in France, they are seen as indicative: green means you can pass regardless of traffic as you have absolute priori

Well we're not going to get an American test for cars that don't get sold in the US, but Tesla says the EU standards figures are 18 kWh/100 km for the model S and 20 kWh/100 km for model X. Nothing about model Y, maybe i

Carlos Tavares has been criticising the switch to electric for years, and regularly calls it in interview "that technology that has been forced on us". He's been spreading FUD on electric all over the French media for a while

What is the point of comparing 300 MW energy use for production with 35 GWh/year (which is technically 4MW indeed) new battery capacity though? These are technically the same units, but they don't measure the same things.

I though it was not totally open since I've heard for a long time about some difficulty to get to some agreement on border control, but apparently it's only for the airports, so the border itself is open indeed.

I'd add that it's not only the extreme polarisation, but also a muddying of terms that have different meanings or uses between the US and Europe (at least my part of Europe). I sometimes hear people conflating "the left"

As part of the EU, France's borders are basically wide open (except for the relatively small or less important borders with the UK, Suriname, Brazil and more surprisingly the border with the Netherlands). Border security is very much a

In France, the gas station restrooms on highways are free and they are clean (the restrooms in rest areas without a gas station are more hit and miss) so it's more a question of being within a building with employees being there at all

Wait, so not only are American toilet doors very short, but they don't indicate either if they are locked or not? This is so simple (turning the lock reveals a patch of green or red) and useful that I can't really believe this is
