I've "wasted" so many hours of my life on this and the original by Chris Sawyer. The original is a masterpiece when it comes to programming and UI design I think, at least for it's time. It is also very fun :) It's

No they need to pay taxes when importing so it doesn't quite work that way.

There are no subsidies, only tax relief. The Norwegian government does not give money to anyone buying an EV, but since fossils are taxed so high it gives an intensive.

The average salary is close to the equivalent of $55000 and median is a bit over $50000, that helps. The fossils are also taxed heavily, the Audi Q7 for instance starts at over 1.1 million NOK, the Model Y starts at 550k or so. In compariso

There is no tax on EVs, but a lot of tax on fossils :) You also get some other incentives but they are in the process of being phased out now.

It will nag you every 17 seconds (if not attentive/holding the wheel with a torque) and abort auto pilot completely if you do not comply. If you do this three times in a drive you have to power off and on the car again to be able to us

Not every day but once every two weeks I have a trip with about 500 km each way. When I came home yesterday I had 4% left from 100% on my model x. Still if I had to charge a bit it would have been included in my 20 minute "pee and hot

Well, 20% of new sales are still fossils so you'd have some grumpy men in the outskirts but I think that would be it. Even in the most northern county (Finnmark) the new sales for EVs are approaching 50%. I have two EVs myself, and goi

In my area in Norway there are now over 50% EVs. Not new sales but total cars. Since it's a "villa area" everybody charges at home. No issues with the grid :)

Yeah my team will meet in the office for an hour once a week otherwise WFH. I suspect once the bean counters discover that the office is only used for an hour once a week also after corona there will be pressure to remove a lot of the seats

Luckily the tesla autopilot ignores speed limits on the high-way, it only follows it (when on auto pilot) on slower roads. There have however been issues with e-trons and id.X cars reading side street signs here in Norway and braking hard o

Testing, (manual) contact tracing and isolation is imho the biggest preventive measures that have been taken here in Norway. They do struggle in big outbreaks though to map everything but all in all it seems to have worked. Now we are at at

Tesla only delivers at the end of each quarter here in Norway due to logistics, however the Model 3 is the best selling car so far this year[1] it's not just some months when you aggregate. The statistics here are only for electric car

I have no data here just my personal experience. In my area (in Norway) there are probably 50% EVs on the road now, closer to Oslo I bet the proportion is higher. In my street alone with 10 houses the cars are about 80% EVs and I just heard

The reason, at least in the Norwegian article is "big fast car that Norwegians are not used to" and not auto pilot at least. As a comparison my former car, a Toyota Avensis, was 175 cm wide. My model X is 220 wide or something. Th

You paid for only a part of the Quest, it is the reason I have avoided it. It is vastly underpriced for the hardware it gives. Some is paid upfront and the rest is paid in data collection etc from facebook. They have a "unconnected&quo

I'd take the "slow" load any day over live connections to the web page. Not sure if a human could even notice it, when I load HN over SSL it is virtually instant.

The custom buttons without labels are a pet peeve of mine actually. I can never guess what the buttons do when they only have pictures and each app use their own icon set. There are some apps that use standard buttons that I recognize but f

It works really well actually. Personally I refuse to do this and my channel on youtube still grows but it is probably growing a lot slower than if I had been begging. Since I do it for fun and not profit I couldn't give a damn though.

I saw the description by the doctor who treated the person who died here in Norway. He called it a "catastrophe in the brain" [1] and the life just could not be saved. It sounds really nasty. Blood clots + low blood plate count at

Here in Norway where we have a decent used EV market the teslas depreciates at about the same rate as the others. This was not the case in the beginning but it was mainly because tesla kept increasing the price of the model S. I have a tesl
