As a EV owner I don't worry about range that much but I'm constantly infuriated by the shitty charging experience. Charging at home is great but road trips are a constant pain in the ass. Let's face it, most people are not interested in switching to EV at all and will find an excuse until ICE cars are banned (I'm looking at you people with two family cars and private garage). You want to convince the people actually thinking about it? Make charging work.

Jesus, who buys a car just for road trips? Yes, the thing no one does is stupid. Can we go back to reality now?
E-berlingo looks exactly the same as normal Berlingo. Since it's a fairly new design I'm guessing they had both versions in mind when designing the ICE one.
OK, makes sense. I will have to try it one day.
Yes but how? I'm genuinely curious. If you still have to pay attention to the turns and (I imagine) other cars what load is it taking over? I only have cruise control and I see not having to check my speed makes a big difference, I dong have to worry I'm going over the limit. But unless I can just ignore the road I dont see how self driving helps. Not having to steer on gentle turns really makes a difference?
But it reduces the load because you don't pay attention to the road? I know cruise control reduces the load because I don't pay attention to my speed.
Out of curiosity, how do you use the self-driving? Do you pay attention to the road with your hands on the wheel in case it fails or do you just, I don't know, look at the landscape? If you pay attention to the road what's the benefit over cruise control?
Yeah, I don't know how train in Germany are branded.
Two Avant tickets to Granda: 60 Euro.
Gasoline to drive two people and a EV bicycle to Granada: 30 Euro.
No one buys a car and pays 4000 in insurance and taxes to make a single trip.
I think there should be two parallel networks:
-
anonymous one run by private corporations or volunteers with heavy moderation and the company taking full responsibilityp for anything posted there. pretty much what EU is trying to establish. You want to make money of anonymous posts? You take financial responsibility for making sure there's nothing illegal on the platform. You could still have right leaning sites but with no misinformation or harassment. Fedivers instances that notoriously post illegal content would get the same treatment as neo-nazi sites.
-
publicly owned platforms (like mastodon instances) available for everyone for free but with no anonymity: you want to make something public, complain about something or simply interact with normal people you can always go there. Less moderation would be needed so it would be cheaper to run. Users will be responsible for the things they post, not the platform.
This way if Twitter is unable to moderate their content you block it and people would have public instances as an alternative. We would see if running a platform like that with proper moderation is still profitable. If not they would start charging people or shut down. I don't think losing sites like Facebook or Twitter would a big problem if we had public alternatives.
It's in the article. They were aiming for 1B, grew 800m.
Yes but we all know what the issues with Tesla are.
