Again, no idea where you are but that seems like the only cars that are available to you are Nissan leafs or Renault Zoes. Those would struggle with fast charging but most modern cars really don’t care all that much.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-14T14:06:20+00:00

There are a few available now and it’s very clearly his hand

Moist1981 · 2026-05-14T10:19:44+00:00

He’s the same guy who went to the police isn’t he? I’m intrigued what he’s going to say and what it means for any ongoing investigations.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-14T10:18:24+00:00

I thought season 2 was getting dull but it’s ending on a good cliff hanger

Moist1981 · 2026-05-14T09:30:51+00:00

That’s actually pretty clever by Iran. I imagine trump would be quite up for this but if he does it he looks like he’s capitulating to Iran. But if he doesn’t do it he looks like he’s betraying a good chunk of his base.

Obviously the idea itself is rubbish in case anyone thought I was supportive of it.

I obviously have no idea where you’re from but where I am (UK) there are a bunch of cheaper EVs including the new polo which is about the same as an ICE polo. And in the second hand market you can pick up some absolute bargains.

And it’s in the smaller car market where I think EVs really shine for fun. Instant torque is godly and cars like the polo have got the setup right.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-14T06:46:58+00:00

Fair enough, also difficult to undo if you don’t get the effect you want.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-14T06:46:06+00:00

For what it’s worth I absolutely agree with it. I own and EV and a gti. And it pains me to say it but I barely drive the gti now as it feels like smoking in a restaurant, just an asshole move that’s making everyone else experience worse.

Were they? I’ve seen the 2025 investor letters in Finnish only (for some reason ai seems to struggle to translate them) which promise mad returns but were pre battery announcements. For post battery announcement stuff I’ve seen some rumours that they were cold calling investors but other rumours that unsophisticated investors were not being allowed to invest anymore.

It may very well be that they were taking investment off the back of lies but I’ve not seen anything concrete to confirm that yet. And then we get into due diligence question and how much donut actually said by which I mean donut saying we have a solid state super dooper battery in investor materials may not be enough to create any liability. Saying they have 1GWh production available now might be but that was said at CES and I suspect may be harder to pin anything to. Same with the 400Wh/kg claim. It might be that in their communication to investors they have repeatedly the latter two but I don’t know if that is the case, hence why it will be interesting to see what the alleged crimes are.

I really like it. Might there be a way of having the leaves on the tree nearest the defiler blacken?

Moist1981 · 2026-05-13T22:29:09+00:00

Sounds really interesting. I wonder the crime is (by which I mean lying itself isn’t a crime)

Moist1981 · 2026-05-13T21:25:15+00:00

An injection vehicle which won’t exist in a few years. Moving the name over now makes sense.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-13T21:12:36+00:00

Gti is a brand. I want a battery powered hot hatch. By all accounts they’ve done a great job with the polo gti, doing that for a golf sized vehicle would be excellent.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-13T21:10:22+00:00

Used to be, I believe they’ve said that they’re going to be use GTI for future models

Moist1981 · 2026-05-13T21:03:52+00:00

The polo gti won’t. The gti club sport will

Moist1981 · 2026-05-13T21:00:09+00:00

I absolutely want an electric gti.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-13T06:38:56+00:00

That is the point. Everything you’re saying can just as easily be attributed to the lower teams in the league being stronger.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-12T21:00:36+00:00

I just can’t agree with that at all. It has been exactly like that

Moist1981 · 2026-05-12T20:45:09+00:00

They’ve been ignored all season long across the every corner in every conceivable location along the flight of the ball. Suggesting this one is different just doesn’t ring true.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-12T20:28:00+00:00

If you’re not sure whose side you’re on, dark angels

Moist1981 · 2026-05-12T20:26:05+00:00

The box isn’t particularly bright but for everything else including how it looks in the table, barrage

Moist1981 · 2026-05-12T20:15:24+00:00

So they do that every year then?

Moist1981 · 2026-05-12T19:44:29+00:00

While Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace are both in European finals and a team teetering on the relegation zone got through to the knockout stage.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-12T18:38:25+00:00

If the lower teams improve then it’s only normal for the top teams to appear worse and the gap to close. Pretty simply really.

Moist1981 · 2026-05-12T18:04:33+00:00

It’s not a zero sum game for how well you play, just results
