Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla

[bzah@discuss.tchncs.de]

You may want to read the text before commenting nonsense, the French are not pleased either.
| Sales are crashing in France, Germany, and the UK
| In France, sales of new Teslas fell by 63 percent

I don't see what justify your attack, it seems unnecessary to attack people based on their nationality.
Yes, we do have a far-right issue in France, but it's pretty much the same as everywhere else in Europe and there is still a resisting left here, not all hope is lost.
Also, regarding your comment below, the white flag stereotype for France comes from 2003, when the US and allies invaded and destroyed Irak, but for once France stood against the US imperialism.

Solid state is just around the corner in the same way fusion is. Toyota announced in 2010 they'd have it in prod by 2015, then 2018, then 2020, then 2025 then..."real soon now "

The MG "may be a semi solid state"

Which is not quite the same thing.

BYD and CATL who have a good track record of delivery are suggesting 2030

TL;DR

Don't wait for solid state, the current battery tech is more than adequate for the majority of people. Holding off for something "perfect" that may never arrive when "good enough" is here diesn't seem logical to me

While entirely correct, the Irish get very antsy about being included in the British Isles. It's a "colonial relic" is probably the nicest version. So yes the map is correct from a British pov but not from an Irish one.

It's a joke, it's supposed to be grotesque. Grotesque is usually different from adequate to reality.

That's first, second, my comment does incorporate the fact that the French are not pleased either. You may want to improve your skills of processing two-sentence comments.

Oops, this one is four sentences, I guess it's going to hurt.

A van can't deal with even remotely muddy grass. I lost count of how many vans I rescued, back when I had my pickup. They are also a lot less effective at dragging a horse trailer etc. Vans also (generally) don't have back seats. If you're also having to trek up and down the motorways, then the comfort of the ranger makes a big difference.

Looks at my VW

ADL supporting Musk's salute, made US media/Zionist CNBC anyway ignore it. Germany doing the projection stunt on Tesla factory had more EU coverage. Social media, even reddit, is just starting to censor Musk anger now. Though, old people who casually think what mainstream media tells them, would go "media told us that ADL said he never did it, and they would never profit from anti semitism"

[buzz86us@lemmy.world]

Having competition tends to do that

Ah, the historically inaccurate, war criminal powered (Bush), meme. I forgot it included also a taste for the Vichy regime.

Strange to mention that and ignore Germany, the country that, you know, back then and now, has always been way more on the right than France.

"Punish France, ignore Germany" is still the current policy.

[miaou@jlai.lu]

Unfortunately, for most Americans, WW2 is more of a call of duty plot.

[miaou@jlai.lu]

Can't wait to hear soldiers killing people in Ramstein driving these.

[miaou@jlai.lu]

Bunch of EU countries have land outside the mainland though

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

Germany lost, so it won't be funny for them.

[sznowicki@lemmy.world]

I do that kind of trips with Spring. No problem. It has surprisingly big trunk for groceries and whatnot. If kids are above 3yo it’s all good.

Obviously it’s not a highway monster but for every day trips we usually take this one.

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

Most of their land you mean? EU yes, Europe has many definitions

[echodot@feddit.uk]

It's probably a more accurate colour anyway. I've seen the channel, it is mostly just gray.

[echodot@feddit.uk]

The UK and Ireland are part of the same plate as Europe. Anyway 2 million isn't even that much time for continental drift, If you traveled back in time to the Jurassic that wouldn't be a significant difference between the layout of the continents then and the layouts of the continents now.

[toofpic@lemmy.world]

The islands are still on the same plate, so they are still on the same continent.

[kurcatovium@lemm.ee]

Not a single one of them is available where I live. And once I checked them, they're not really family cars I was hoping for.

[kurcatovium@lemm.ee]

It's a cool car, yes. Too small for me, but cool as fuck. Used ones are affordable, but it's still 34k € new, which is not cheap at all.
