Oddly libertarians never acknowledge that market leaders ask for theses things. The biggest threat to the free market are capitalists themselves.

American libertarianism is just a form of nationalism mixed with a strong dose of "don't nose into muh life"

Good, continue with the downward spiral.

how many cameras does it have? be pleased about all your, and your neighbourhoods everydays be uploaded to china, to train face recognition and whatever else

I hate teslas, but byd's are not even slightly better in my eyes.

I don't like the feeling that we may never see a consumer friendly EV anymore, but only ones that exploit their users in any ways they can

CNBC didn't here. So it's a lie.

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?

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
