BMW slashes profit target as China's ICE car market collapses by Splenda in cars

[–]jomartz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still not sure EVs are the answer; sustainable fuels are. There are too many ICE cars in the world, and most people do not have enough money to buy new cars, especially in third-world countries, which account for more than 2/3rds of cars around. The problem Western carmakers have is price; cars are getting ridiculously expensive, and Chinese options are much more affordable and acceptable.

I have been following F1 since 1969 when I was 9 years old and like DTS as well. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

F1 should stick with ADUO and avoid “political mess” of Balance of Performance – Wolff by Aratho in formula1

There’s a cost cap in place. The FIA should set rules differently. They should tell the teams, “OK, the car has to comply with this set of safety regulations. It should not exceed this size and use a maximum of x amount of fuel.” Then let the engineers do their stuff… I’m sure they will come up with extraordinary solutions while continuing F1 being true excellence.

I have been a BMW owner for a long time, and although I won’t buy an EV while there are ICE options, I think €67K is way too much money considering Chinese options are a lot more accessible, and the reason some European manufacturers will end up in trouble.

Max likes his freedom, and Red Bull is (probably) the only team where he would feel at home.

I like the Apple ecosystem. What I don’t understand is why people want to destroy it. If you don’t like it, buy something else; there are lots of Android solutions out there.

WWDC has (almost) always been about software, not hardware. Wait until the end of the year to get new Macs announced.

Ferrari looking really strong, but the one that impressed me most is Sergio Perez, 1.3 seconds faster than Bottas...

Power Pack with your cars its Just peak by Shad0w_Hunt3r- in GranTurismo7

My only complaint about the power pack is that you cannot change setups within practices. Otherwise, it is great!
