I think this is the regulation: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1804/oj/eng

Yes if course, not required retroactively, but as you, I think some will simply update all their stations anyway, simply so their customers know they will always be able to pay with a credit card at their stations.

I believe EU regulations say that at least fast charging stations is required to have credit card payment option

Index it all and train our AI on it.

As is mentioned in the article 😉 What is also mentioned is the fact that battery prices are going down. Soon it seems they’ll be down to $10/kWh!

Wouldn’t mind it if X got blocked in the EU.

The only interesting parts are the steer by wire and the 48v system.

😂😂😂

Very misleading title. No, we are not, not any time soon. Denmark is very much a Microsoft country and there’s so many dependencies, it is simple not realistic to do it anytime soon. I only heard of a test in a government department, sorry.

Some day, you’ll learn to enjoy salty licorice too 😋

I wonder how it’s going for Reddit? I expect they are still huge.

Making space exploration 1000x cheaper basically. Not kidding, that’s roughly the goal I believe. That’s needed to make it possible to send enough stuff and people to Mars to make us a multi planetary species. It’s a completely crazy goal/idea, but that’s actually been the goal of SpaceX from the start. Getting Starship to work seems incredibly difficult and almost impossible, but so did landing a big booster rocket on a drone ship and today they do that so often it’s almost become boring.

As another commenter stated, this explosion is not at “Starbase” where they launch starship. It’s unlikely to have any impact on the launch schedule for Starship. They tested an engine on a test stand and it failed. They will likely learn something from it.

I believe the last paragraph is wrong. The +3 million cars BYD made includes fossil cars. I believe they made around 1.6 million BEV’s. They also did make more BEV’s than Tesla in Q4, so it would not be surprising if BYD makes more than Tesla in 2024.

I can of course only speak for myself and what I have experienced with others in our TM3. When we (my wife and I) got it 5 years ago, neither of us had ever driven a TM3 before. We had a Ford C-max before. My wife got the honour of driving it home from the delivery center and I of course drove it a bit later. Quite a few friends and family tried it in the weeks after. I don’t recall anyone finding it cumbersome or hard to drive.

I do find it stupid that Tesla had removed the stalks on the refreshed TM3 and I welcome the Euro NCAP changes, that will likely have an effect.

I’d like a couple more physical controls, but I think you’re making it sound worse than it really is. I also don’t think the issue only is touch screen vs physical controls. Modern cars are a lot more complex - they have a lot more features.

What country is that?

I’d be okay with it if the auto wiper function worked great, but they decided to drop the rain sensor and use the autopilot cameras for it instead and they simply haven’t been able to make it work.

Nope, there are alternative buttons, but I agree it’s not an improvement that they have removed the stalks.

I think the title is a bit misleading. AFAIK, Euro NCAP have no authority to tell car makers anything, but they do indirectly affect how cars are developed because getting high Euro NCAP safety scores are important.
