im skipping a lot of posts but I also work in the auto industry and basically everything that Combat Theory is saying is correct or at least how the current technology is going to go without some major battery technology breakthroughs. Then there is the added issue of dipshit urban Americans who insist on driving trucks and other large cars around tiny urban streets + rich people commuting from the suburbs in their high performance luxury vehicles

in Europe this will probably be less of a problem but there are outliers in places like Scandinavia where there are relatively large and urban cities that are 1000km from the next largest city (Tromsø comes to mind) and as CT said, having two cars in Europe isn't economical due to taxes

Maybe automotive companies will realize that mass transit is the only true solution :)

iirc in commonwealth countries you can be verbally assaulted

e;

quote:

There are three offences that someone who uses "threatening, abusive or insulting" language in a public place may been deemed to have committed. (These offences can also be committed in a private place if what is said is audible outside. They also apply to similar behaviour and the display of similar posters, pictures or signs.) All three offences fall under the Public Order Act 1986.

The least serious is under section 5. Here it is an offence to use threatening, abusive or insulting words within the hearing of someone likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress by them. So the prosecution have to show only that there was someone else present who might have been caused harassment, alarm or distress, not that anyone actually was. This person could in some cases be the police officer who then goes on to arrest the person, but the courts have taken the line that police officers, exposed to bad language on a daily basis, can be assumed to be fairly robust and far less likely to be offended than others.

Section 4A makes it an offence to use threatening, abusive or insulting language with the intention of causing someone else harassment, alarm or distress. The offence is only committed if it has that effect.

a Tesla will begin stopping the moment you aren’t on the gas, and since I don’t see any lurching, the driver absolutely wasn’t causing that by stomping on the gas

I look forward to Chinese regulators using tesla’s guts for loving garters, it’s going to rule

imagine deploying your product in a market that has regulators with not just teeth, but fangs, claws, and specialised murder equipment, when you’re actively struggling against the worlds most toothless regulator (the NHTSA)

being banned from the largest and fasted growing market that every OEM including Chinese OEMs most people itt have never heard of is basically a death sentence since that’s the only place they can still achieve incredible growth in

i think the op's point was that chinese regulators would gently caress tesla over IF there was a sufficient domestic competitor. and since there is none (idk whether this is true or not), they won't care for now

there are more Chinese OEM EVs driving around in China than there are EVs in the rest of the world combined
