I currently drive Seat Mii, which is good small EV for city, but for long ranges VW and BMW are behind. Audi's EV have been disasters. Cupras look good, but because I already have small EV, it doesn't fit my use case .

ID's could be ok, but they are over priced in my opinion (at least here).

Edit: for context id4's starting price is 43k€ here in Finland. 60k€ for id7.

Edit2: Ok started looking those Chinese brands prices also if you buy them here and they are also priced in same range, so ID might be option then also

Only heard good things about them, but aren't they few generation's old now. Not that next gen is always better, but EV's have gone quite big generational steps.

Edit: and for context I drove Seat Mii at the moment and I love it to pieces, but it works only in city, not long range.

All those are unfortunately so expensive here that I can only dream. And in my opinion over priced also.

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same sound as it's so high pitched that most people older than me are unable to even hear it while people my age or younger can clearly identify it. If that's supposed to be a warning system, it doesn't seem very good?

I think it would be silly to assume Ford isn't updating the Mach E as it continues to produce it.

Of course US trucks run on coal. I see them rolling coal all the time! They cant roll coal if it wasnt coal. Duh...

I mean, it's also entirely possible you've heard a failing magnetic drive, a humming battery, or a squeeky mechanical thing like brakes or bearings. Those are all strong indicators of a significant problem with the car, and should be fixed immediately. But if you hear it every time, as soon as the car starts moving in a parking lot, that's the safety feature.

Looking forward to Tesla reporting Q2 earnings next month. I assume another round of disastrous numbers paired up with some vaporware distraction. Perhaps they can keep this charade going, but at some point reality will catch up.

Heard it can be hard / expensive if you need to order spare parts and stuff like that. Anything to that?

Not even sure it's that true though. Afaik BYD is only the 14th most popular car in Denmark, and European brands have risen from around ~28% last year to ~40% this year. Sure, Chinese carmakers have had some growth - but we're talking in the order of something between 2 - 4% of the market. Might be more popular in other countrues

How common are these in Denmark? don't feel like I've seen one, but then again it's not like I study the make before I get in the bus

I don't know that they're out to make money though. A lot of the Chinese manufacturers are now struggling due to the price war they instigated themselves. Huge production surplus but they pushed down the price so much they hardly make any money

I think a lot of it is also growing their market share and establishing their brand.

What a downfall Tesla

Brand recognition is important, but it's a dangerous game operating mostly on government subsidies. Once you have established low prices it's hard to reverse it

China would love so much to rule the world, that's why it hasn't entered any war in the past 40+ years, and that's why all countries in the global south are happy to enter the comparably advantageous economic deals and infrastructure investments that China offers in comparison with the magnificent western democracies.

How many countries has China bombed in the past 40 years? Let's now make a list for the USA, see who wins!

As for "dictator", look at the approval rates of Xi in China and compare them to those of Kid Starver in the UK, Trump in the US, or Macron in France. I guess democracy is best represented by the system that lets you choose which hateful ghoul will apply austerity policy and invest 5% of GDP in NATO.

Me, my friends, my colleagues are the target audience for Model 3/Y's. I drive a Model 3 and some colleagues do as well. Pretty much all of them and myself say the same thing: The cars top the list in terms of value versus price and has the features we want and need, but we will not buy or (company) lease a Tesla (again) due to the nazi in charge. Simple as that.

At this point, people don't even take Tesla's into consideration anymore due to the nazi. So I would say that's far worse than the competition with BYD.

I remember that one getting tested in my hometown.

You are comparing Tesla, a full electric car maker to « Chinese cars » which includes multiple brands and all engine types.
Only one-third of the cars that the Chinese carmakers sold in Europe during the first quarter were electric.

There are 2 types of libertarians.

One group is comprised of people who think the government should basically keep the military going, and handle foreign relations when that doesn't impede private citizens.

The other group is just Republicans who don't like being called Republicans.
