I get that, their support network has a lot of catching up to do. It is still a legit issue for existing customers like me, though.

Here have a few, I’ve got a captive breeding population going.

Oh right, that shit made me wonder why they weren’t just transfusing blood around to induct new members… Or, you know, giving the power of the force to every person.

(Unless those meats are lab-grown, which seems plausible in a world where Pokémon can magically regenerate to full health at a Pokémon Center.)

I suppose we could use whatever technology is being utilised at Pokemon centres to lop limbs off of Pokemon and then regrow them. No animal killing!

I was a kid when I watched episode 1, and I was so confused by how any of it made any sense.

Keep in mind, the wife is never wrong.

You’re preaching to the choir :)

Was referring to the traditional American carmakers. Tesla’s kind of a special case. But yeah, it’s insane how popular Tesla is in Scandinavia.

Annual petrol usage by cars: ~1.5 x 10^12 litres.

Amount of water on Earth’s surface: 1.386 x 10^21 litres.

Percentage of water used annually: 0.0000001%

Number of years to deplete all water on earth’s surface: 1 x 10^9 years, aka 1 billion years.

Minus a few million if we’re driving yo momma around.

Also EVs just piggybacked off the existing electrical network. Good luck creating a new worldwide network for hydrogen.

I’m literally not seeing the difference between the two statements.

The only issue I have with BYD is that their service centers are way overloaded, with a waiting list of several weeks for an appointment. They’re also pretty inefficient with warranty claims - I had a minor issue, took me 2 - 3 months to get it fixed, though at least they didn’t try to deny it. Don’t really have any issues with the hardware itself, good performance.

I have the same opinion about touchscreens, but I can do most tasks on my BYD with gesture control, no need to look. Not perfect, but works pretty well. Most major functions also have physical controls, except the AC as I mentioned. I believe China implemented regulations requiring physical controls in newly built cars.

It’s pretty undeniable that American carmakers have lost the plot at this point. Other carmakers are still getting by, but American brands are now irrelevant outside the states.

But this assumes that the higher fuel prices are the main driver for the switch and I personally don’t think this is the case.

I mean, that’s the thrust of the whole article. Not just price, but stability and energy independence for govts.

Idk. Elon had a hand in popularising EVs before he went nuts, but Trump’s the one who destabilised the world fuel markets.

It’d be hilarious (annoying, but hilarious) if he gets remembered in history for that reason.

Did not expect this milestone to happen anytime soon, let alone right now.

Yeah I doubt any anti bug laser will stop to identify the type of bug.

China is releasing one this year.
