Stellantis puts six European factories on hold. This doesn't exactly come as a surprise. Here's a thing I wrote last summer: Driving through Italy today is a jarring reminder of how remarkable its native car industry once was: innovative, quirky, affordable, and often

That summarizes my stance best. The EU is strangling Europe to death. This is not about minor disagreements in policy. This is not about USB-C ports on iPhones. This is about getting eaten alive by China and the US while we abide by senseless rules of our own making. And by the

I lived with a Chinese EV for a few weeks to see if the hype is real. The car costs $42K, and turns out it feels like $75K+ EASILY One of the most impressive things I've ever reviewed: https://t.co/EHe358cvLt - A+ software and features. Feels like what would happen if Apple

My wife works in a large German corporation, and it’s exactly like that. She’s very ambitious, but the environment around her is the complete opposite. She’s surrounded by colleagues who have been there for 20–30 years and are simply waiting for retirement. Managing people in
@HonestlyNaoSei The inability to fire people is a key reason why Europe is struggling. At-will employment in America is central to why their high-tech economy works so much better than the European one.

I am going to make a few calls which I think are absolutely not a positive thing, but I think they are true or will become true: - globalized trade prosperity is behind us. globalization has been ruined. - the West is broken. North America and Europe are now only allies on

Never criticizing Chinese ecological terrorism as a means of statecraft is one of the main reasons I never take “environmentalist” NGOs seriously. That, and a hatred of nuclear power.
A glimpse of China’s fishing militia invading the Philippines’ EEZ. Tens of thousands of such vessels, subsidized by China, operate as proxy enforcers for the Coast Guard and PLANavy. They go around wreaking havoc on sovereignty of other states & marine life alike.

I’m starting to think Audi’s software is no bueno 😨 this motor-talk forum user reports of a drive in his new Audi 6 e-tron, and others chime in. The user's inaugural 800-kilometer road trip in their Audi A6 e-tron revealed that the car is apparently too smart for simple

still waiting for Mercedes to show Tesla how ‘software is done’
the guy who claimed @Daimler would show Tesla, Apple and Google 'how software is done', is leaving the company. Trouble in paradise? Just another sign legacy auto just can’t get a grip on software and OS. @WholeMarsBlog @jpr007

Stellantis couldn't have found better timing than the FSD test in France to boast about its "automated driving Hi-Drive, the European reference project." LMAO Choose your fighter
Stellantis n'a pas trouvé meilleur timing que le test du FSD en France, la publication des chiffres de Waymo, pour fanfaronner avec sa « conduite automatisée Hi-Drive, le projet européen de référence ». L'interface, la voiture. Je vous laisse juger.

It just works
another 👍🏼 🇩🇪 FSD test ride, by @Teslarossa_ Today I had THE moment that you usually only know from the countless videos from the USA: The chance to test drive the Tesla Model 3 with Full Self-Driving Supervised #FSD (Version 14.1.7) in Frankfurt – and I have to say: It was

No this is socialism. In a free market the government doesn’t have industry killing regulations and taxes. Socialistic policies ensure that the incumbents establish monopolies because it is too fucking hard to start anything new.
I love capitalists discovering how the free market works

„now I have something better than a chauffeur.“
Review of @Tesla FSD (Supervised) in the WSJ: "Driving has always felt like a chore to me. The first time I let the vehicle (Model Y) take control, something shifted. As the car guided itself through traffic, I felt tension melt away. A few days before the federal EV tax credit
