They’re discontinuing it in 2026.

Which has been discontinued. They have said they’ll bring back a EUV for the 2026 model year, but we’ll see if that comes to fruition.

Those are Edge Case. There will almost always be edge cases where we have engineering or physical constraints, but we have solutions for almost all individual trips.

I think it’s just reminding people that EVs aren’t a panacea to all our issues with transportation, and they actually exacerbates at least one of those issues. This is while we know there are better solutions for >90% of our personal transportation with public transportation, bicycling, walking, micro-mobility, etc. Moving one or two people around with a multi-tonne machine is insanely inefficient!

For each count of not paying the helper’s salary no later than seven days after it was due, Wu could have been jailed for up to a year, fined up to S$10,000, or both.

Instead she received no jail time and one S$10,000 when there were dozens of counts.

Well, since you asked:

• The base range is 187mi. You’re going to need to spend more if you want the 252mi range.
• That’s the price in China. It costs thousands of dollars to move a vehicle halfway across the world. There’s a reason the price is Australia and Europe is significantly higher!

Your council works too slowly. Here’s the fix:

The first mobile cost about $4000

I said a decade ago, not the very first. I also should have said “smartphone”. Powering cars by battery isn’t a brand new technology.

The original cars cost 30k adjusted for inflation with the cheapest today costing around 15.

I was responding to a meme that said $15K, not $15K (inflation adjusted).

Vehicles aren’t just one technology though, they are commodity items. Cellphones are more expensive than a decade ago, so are laptops. The average ICE car has gotten much more expensive over time. So, do you think EV technologies will get significantly cheaper quicker than inflation and the general direction of the industry?

And what’s the range on that? Spoiler: It’s 190 mi base with a max 252 mi. That’s nowhere near 350mi!

I’m just not sure what your argument is. Since the US practices unfair trade in one industry, China should be allowed to in other industries? I don’t know if you missed this lesson in second grade, but, “Two wrongs don’t make a right.”

I’m Canadian, so I’m well versed in softwood lumber dispute. However, we’re talking about EVs.

How am I supposed to prove that a $15K 350mi EV doesn’t exist? It’s Russell’s teapot.

*editors note; i’m not a tankie, i just know that china has invested insubsidized technology while the us has been bogged down in partisanship (look at solar)

FTFY. While the Chinese government has made major investments in technology, the problem is their excessive subsidies which are allowing Chinese manufacturers to artificially out-compete their competitors. As others have pointed out, it’s the same as “Big-Tech Disruptors” who begin with unsustainable prices, and once all their competitors leave the market they raise their prices.

That doesn’t exist anywhere…and I frankly don’t think it ever will.

While we’ve seen this cycle play out quite a few times in Big Tech, I think a lot of people just aren’t aware of what it is. I’ve had friends decry how, “Uber is now basically as expensive as a taxi.” I point out how Uber is only recently profitable and see people’s minds get blown.

None of those are Chinese EVs. I was pointing out that the “anique import loophole” doesn’t apply to Chinese EVs (at least for another couple decades).

They’re almost exclusively being imported as antique vehicles. I don’t think you’re going to find a cheap, useful, 25-year old Chinese EV, but all the power to you!

I’m always confused when I hear stories like this about important, powerful people. It feels like driving isn’t “worth their time” and when they have to travel by car, they should be escorted so they can continue to do their work.

My S10e says the same date without this update.
