Too much milk (or anything) will kill you, yet some amount is still healthy and necessary for you. There’s never been a truly capitalist state and there’s never been a truly socialist state. There’s extreme cases in both directions of people claiming to be though. Unfortunately the job of...

What a lovely and sad country song ?

Quick fix for the XC40 Recharge’s horrible aerodynamics? Kinda like the Porsche Cayenne Coupe (e-hybrid). But in that case I would expect this to get longer range or less battery. SUV Coupes (BMW, Audi, MB, Lambo, etc) have been fashionable lately but they usually keep the height clearance...

I can attest to this. I have a 2020 Specialized Levo Comp and a 2021 Rocky Mountain Instinct BC edition Carbon electric mountain bikes, and after almost hitting many deer and two moose, I tend to cough and hum a lot while riding at speed. The helmet and body armor won’t withstand a stomping...

I would love to see that change, not least since the best EV development is already done in the USA.

Indeed. If Porsche had FSD a’la carte they would list and have separate prices for “Summon, forwards” and “Summon, backwards”, etc and not list them in the same page to add confusion ?

Level 4 is the famous Rise of the Machines obviously. «The driver *may* have the option to control the vehicle...» ?

The only point of reference I know is Norway. Here the incentive for EV is just not applying any tax on EVs, while ICE cars have been heavily taxed (35-50%) for decades. So easily implemented with a huge effect. In addition tolls, city slow-charging and parking have been free, and EVs can drive...

Of course it won’t last, and let’s be glad when it doesn’t. Subsidies are tax money after all. Incentives are great to promote change (I’ve taken a huge share) but will fall when markets mature. Which hopefully and probably means we’re at a point where it just makes more economical sense to go...

Isn’t some of the idea that you can subscribe to it for a month when you’re going on a trip and ditch it again? I can see them charge a bit extra for the benefit of turning it off and on at whim. Maybe just the holidays of a year. Others who pay up front have also paid for it when they’re just...

Well, I’m at my job to take the blame for railroad projects which go over budget and are further delayed. An irreplaceable whipping boy, which Dojo will be much too intelligent to want to take over ?

I’m sure I didn’t quite understand the implications but on this sunny Sunday morning I’ll take it as a sign that CT actually will be exported (eventually) ?

I just came over this news today and found the charging and battery bit amazing. Maybe others do as well. The world’s largest electric ferry is set in operation in Norway Monday. Actually 3 of them on the same line. Moving 3.8 million passengers and 1.8 million cars each year. Each one has a...

You could say that but Tesla still has a good deal of years on their back by now and have spent some years to get to the level of quality of the cars they make today. They were even so early they had to make cars with fake grilles (early S) that reminded people of ICE cars, which among other...

Tri-motor cabbage then please. Xiaomi thinks a lot of things are just sticking some plastic, battery and electronics together, and it looks good in images and from a certain distance, yet I still keep getting disappointed and prefer other brands of stuff. It’s more expensive but I think US or...

True. I was thinking more in marketing terms when you price a very basic base model with little profit or even at a loss but the options/version 99% people need pulls up the profit margin to an acceptable level. A very few (hopefully) will still get the basic base model though, but maybe tell...

Isn’t also the theory when you are at a certain volume that you subsidize the cheapest models with higher margins on the more premium models in order to get in all the customers?

Agreed. Have driven much more in the Model 3 than any other car. Had I had an EV before 2017 it would have been a small city EV as a second car.

This is my hometown and where I worked as a (golden) car retriever all day on the ships. Not any Teslas back then unfortunately, or fortunately perhaps as I would be out of work if the cars could just be summoned off?

I don’t know where you get your numbers (76,789 EVs (excluding hybrids) were sold here in 2020) or why it’s so threatening and enraging that Norway likes EVs. Especially odd on a EV forum and when Norway most prefers American EVs (Teslas). But, yes the numbers say Norwegians buy much more EVs...
