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

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.

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"

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.

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

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

Bunch of EU countries have land outside the mainland though

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

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

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.

[kurcatovium@lemm.ee]

If I was alone, this would be an option. With family, not so much. I've heard horrible stories, struggling to go uphill with 4 people on board, etc. And I live in a hilly area.

There's already cars available today with semi solid state batteries: Some by Nio and one by IM.

The article I read about the MG was certain that it'd be solid state. Sorry for the incorrect info.

Our plant hire is delivered by a 20 year old mondeo. Van have more room for the work stuff and are plenty comfortable for motorway travel. Our off road vehicles are outlanders and vans are everything from mercedes to renault. Never had a problem that a pick up would have resolved.

[treczoks@lemmy.world]

I'd judge Tesla drivers if they bought the car this year.
