    Historical review of America's far right

    Clearly. I've been saying for a while that the best and only thing Trump and his MAGA team did for America is to shine the light on themselves, their Gettysburg moment for relevance. The interesting read I posted speaks of nearly a century of right wing extremist movements attempting to find...

    The EV transition is real

    Wrong, you never need cash in Singapore . Most everything that is not paid with a credit card is done by contactless app payment called PayLah, a Singaporean specific interbank payment system that deducts pay directly from your local bank account.

    The EV transition is real

    You're moving away from the point. Nonetheless, let me help you check with reality. Nordic regions comprise nearly 28 million people. That's about the same number as all Canada bordering states combined...

    The EV transition is real

    I don't own an EV but, as a reminder, Tesla (and other EV manufacturers) do their best business in Scandinavian countries: The ...countries with the highest share of EV sales are Norway (all-electric vehicles made up 80% of passenger vehicle sales in 2022), Iceland (41%), Sweden (32%), the...

    'Doomsday': Singapore renters sound the alarm as prices surge

    E-bikes are heavily regulated in Singapore due to battery quality standards and lack of clarity as to their place in the urban environment, streets or sidewalks. In general Singaporeans and government are not keen to see ebikes and bikes in general develop and it's not particularly safe to ride...

    The EV transition is real

    Lol, that reminds me of my pastor brother who preferred to wait 20 mn in line at the bridge to pay cash rather than drive through with a trackable Fast Pass... The level of paranoia in the US is stunning.

    The EV transition is real

    Also, one of Tesla's rare company acquisitions is one that came up with a high inductive charging matt placed on your garage floor. It's not clear if Tesla plans on commercializing this or put it in a drawer and forget about it.

    The EV transition is real

    Ok... From batteries can't survive lots of miles to batteries can't survive very few miles... It's another myth. While batteries do inconsistently degrade 1-2% a year based on a number of factors (and thus the 10 year life span and warranty), you can also expect significant battery cost...

    The EV transition is real

    All registered vehicles isn't a good measure because it's all registered vehicles, from motorcycles, cars, trucks to buses. California has a stated ban on the sale of ICE vehicles by 2035. You want to see how fast gas stations will shut down? California is in full transition. People are...

    Musk didn't really have a choice. Either his plug became the standard or another less efficient one would have and Tesla would need the adapter.

    Perhaps you should inquire as to the life of batteries and their warranty. There are numerous Tesla owners with well over 1 million km on their cars discussing batteries on YT

    I don't disagree with that. I will vote for Musk's package but vote to remove a couple of board members.

    'Doomsday': Singapore renters sound the alarm as prices surge

    Singapore has the most expensive cars in the world. You pay for the price of the car, let's say 40k. Then you have a 100% import tax, so now your car is 80k. Then you have a 120k COE, a right to operate on Singapore roads. And that's how your car now costs 200k. The COE is good for 10 years...
