I understand rail hasn’t been in focus in the US for a long time. My answer was probably very euro-centric. The railroad I’m building these days is 250km/h in three directions from Oslo through up to 11 cities in each direction. It’s very popular. I did say “as long as rail is double the speed...

I dont see people-carrying rail go away. It’s very efficient around in urban environments, and in to and out from the big city, especially if traffic increases because of more freight on the roads, and smog-filled cities open only to EVs which will increase in amount. As long as the long range...

Too much milk (or anything) will kill you, yet some amount is still healthy and necessary for you. There’s never been a truly capitalist state and there’s never been a truly socialist state. There’s extreme cases in both directions of people claiming to be though. Unfortunately the job of...

In my experience people wave or make a finger sign when you’re out on really rural roads, walking in the woods or in the mountains, on the sea, and if youre driving a Citroën 2CV and see another (like my mother drove with a hanging flower case on the back). (Hers was red though). The hippie...

I believe there’s already a setting for tilting the mirrors automatically when reversing. I don’t know how long it holds though, so your suggestion may be necessary to keep seeing a low view when going a bit forwards as well of course.

In that case I doubt it’s easily moved by the owner, because the wheel (yoke) could then also be removed(!) or not sit right. Something similar will probably be possible in the future though.

That close to Norway (not in the EU either) I hope they would make some left hand drive CTs too... ? There aren’t many RHD countries left in Europe. The British Isles, and then just Malta and Cyprus?

That sounds like a top destination more than anything. ? But point taken in that a city might also be the charging point between to other cities depending on geography and range. Just wondered how common very urban superchargers were vs superchargers out on the plains, in transit-valleys, or at...

Odd that all superchargers, especially since V3, are built in the middle of nowhere between two towns in some direction in Norway (might be gas station or roadside cafe there), as if to say charge at Home and use a Supercharger when on a trip, while quite a lot of the ones I hear talk about in...

I agree, but the more retro looking airstreams rather than the “basecamp” IMO. There was someone showing a fictional “x-stream” around here which looked like an airstream but had batteries and motors and would be perfect (had the battery connection to the towing Tesla existed).

Very cool. I can see how you separately could end up with the same teardrop shape based on flat surfaces, and also have led rear lights in a bar shape, but I just find it really hard to believe it isn’t also steel coloured and has the same edge on the side because of the CT. Especially that...

That was smart. It depends on your climate but I’m liking the hard, insulated walls all over, yet still pop-up. Would love for it to follow the lines of the CT though. That takes some serious origami skills ?

What a lovely and sad country song ?

Quick fix for the XC40 Recharge’s horrible aerodynamics? Kinda like the Porsche Cayenne Coupe (e-hybrid). But in that case I would expect this to get longer range or less battery. SUV Coupes (BMW, Audi, MB, Lambo, etc) have been fashionable lately but they usually keep the height clearance...

Acktschually.. it’s 2023 and later for most people at this rate. </end neckbeard> Including me for being geographically retarded. Seriously though, I really don’t expect Elon’s optimistic time frame of CTs to customers in December 2021 to come to fruition at all. It will maybe be shown on the...

I can attest to this. I have a 2020 Specialized Levo Comp and a 2021 Rocky Mountain Instinct BC edition Carbon electric mountain bikes, and after almost hitting many deer and two moose, I tend to cough and hum a lot while riding at speed. The helmet and body armor won’t withstand a stomping...

I would love to see that change, not least since the best EV development is already done in the USA.

Pickups aren’t that common here. Vans and trailers are used by craftsmen instead. So I wouldn’t think of buying a truck either. More likely a new SUV. But the CT is a comfortable AWD 6-seater with a lockable and weatherproof big locker in the back. And is dead cool and stainless steel. I...

Indeed. If Porsche had FSD a’la carte they would list and have separate prices for “Summon, forwards” and “Summon, backwards”, etc and not list them in the same page to add confusion ?

Level 4 is the famous Rise of the Machines obviously. «The driver *may* have the option to control the vehicle...» ?
