I know this isn't the core of the story but I'm kinda proud of my country (The UK) for not fucking this up.
I think the UK Justice system did it's job here, albeit keeping him detained for a lengthy duration to do it.
Do we all need a competitor to Alphabet/Google? I'd say yes, I don't think Alphabet is behaving fairly.
RE "next-gen" "every day" "everywhere car" I can't comment because they don't really make a quantifiable point.
RE Charging: In the UK we had charge at home infrasatructure w/ .gov compensation and charging points at businesses/supermarkets/petrol stations way before a specific branded Supercharger infrastructure started arriving.
RE "whole automation": What do you mean? What point of Tesla is more automated than an Audi or BMW for a UK daily commute? Autopilot simply doesn't work for the vast majority of UK commutes and has been shown to be a poorly operating application with a potential incoming ban.
I think it's important not to rewrite history to fit a narrative.
I agree w/ the "best" argument but I don't agree with the "first to market" argument.... There were a notable amount of electric cars in the UK before Tesla became a thing. Perhaps things in .de are different..
I did notice in Berlin just a few weeks ago that you guys don't really seem to be pushing for clean air zones in major cities unlike a lot of the UK which given your progressive population came as a surprise to me.
Lawnmaster L10
- Bidet toilet seat
- Good mattress & office chair.
- Home Automation devices (mower/vacuum/lights etc).
Agreed, but specifically an aftermarket electric seat bidet to save in a load of plumbing.
I assume you mean point of interest?
I don't see this option in the web based version, also, "similar in the area" != within 15 mins walk.
RF range is very limited
RF range deployed by most vehicles, yes. Not all RF is equal in range capability.
See "Frequency bands" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_frequency
Below 3 Hz >10(power 5) km
FWIW; this is not a practical problem, it's a political one. Conversion kits don't get a pass/by from the law, they are subject to the same laws just like home brew conversions.
Fun fact: In the UK there is no ability (DVSA/DVLA[requirement to legally taxing/insuring a car]) for legally driving a converted ICE to Electric car. This is due to the MOT test having a test for CO2 and if the test returns null or "out of bounds" the car fails it's MOT and therefore is illegal to drive.
Such a wonderful country.
