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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Fair enough on the price. We got a used 2021 for a lot less than that and it’s the perfect car for us. It’s surprisingly spacious inside. This is coming from a 195cm overweight guy.

[kurcatovium@lemm.ee]

Do you drive it with family?

[neo2478@sh.itjust.works]

We’re only two so I understand we’re in a special situation. Kids would fit fine in the back, but with teenagers and adults it gets a bit tight.

Also, for some perspective, my normal driving position, the seat is somewhere in the middle of the movement range. Not all the way to the back.

the white flag stereotype for France comes from 2003

It actually comes (unfairly) from the French army mutinies of 1917 and (also unfairly) from France's surrender to Hitler in 1940, in addition to their not joining in the fun in Iraq. All of which obscures a prior thousand-year history of kicking the shit out of people.

Doing a nazi salute while making the Mussolini face, no less!

WW2 is more of a call of duty plot

It's the war Tom Hanks won.

Elon Musk should have his wealth forcefully redistributed

[softestsapphic@lemmy.world]

Rich people don't have human emotions.

Being rich literally turns you into a sociopath or psycopath.

Hoarding that much excess wealth induces mental disorders.

The only solution is to redistribute their wealth

[softestsapphic@lemmy.world]

The stock has been overinflated for years, it's a grift detached from reality.

The stock market is now literally just a rigged casino where 90%+ of the stocks are owned by the rich.

[bzah@discuss.tchncs.de]

Thanks, I was not aware of that.

[southendsunset@lemm.ee]

lol. Stupidly I didn’t consider that anyone would still buy one. New or secondhand.
