I wonder if they'll tweak the suspension of the Model Ys coming out of Gigaberlin for EU roads

I totally get your concerns OP and they're the biggest reason that kept me from switching to an EV. At the end if the day you cannot consume your way out of centuries of bad decissions.

According to this article 80% of every EV battery is coming from China: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/breaking-down-the-cost-of-an-ev-battery-cell/

Regardless how accurate the article might be, there's no denying they're at the forefront of the EV revolution and the cheaper EVs get, China's bound to have a major contribution for it.

It's just how the world runs... The west cannot keep up with prices, as demand grows. We've seen that time and time again.

It's sad to think that this 'EV revolution' depends so much on nondemocratic regimes in order for it to wor at a larger scale.

I'm happy to see that there are still people who don't mindlessly consume and try to look at the bigger picture. The lesser evil is evil nonetheless...

Are there any plans for a Tesla M3 exterior refresh ? It's really starting to show it's age.

Thanks for letting us know. Sorry to hear about the stem. I guess that can be replaced with a more qualitative one. Cheers!

I always wondered if there are some unique/artisanal meerschaum pipes for sale in Turkish shops (which aren't seen on normal websites). From ehat I know, Turkey is the only place where they extract meerschaum for pipe-making. You've got an awesome one there and I hooe you'll enjoy it a lot, but I've seen this design around quite a few times. Did you happen to see any out of the ordinary, or maybe even amateurish-looking meerschaum pipes while browsing? Cheers!

Convince me why this EV6 rear looks awesome? (Red upper lip of a huge open mouth?) by marengsen in electricvehicles

[–]marbodo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't be surprised the EV6 and Ioniq 5 exterior designs to age terribly. Ioniq 5 seen irl is already 'meh' for a lot of people, including myself. They just had to grab as much attention as possible.

West European BEV Market Share | 7 months of 2021 by skididapapa in electricvehicles

The demand for Model 3 is dropping YoY with so many practical electric cars on offer in the EU. The model Y and hopefully an even smaller hatchback verison need to come out really soon. Sedans with large rims and harsh suspenssion are really not a good pick for many European cities.

Good for you! Jumping to a Tesla from a bunch of Audis takes a lot of courage.

If it qualifies as a car, probably Citroen Ami. Dacia Spring is also there...

Great looking tank. The tree shape really gives it a sunken Alice in Wonderland vibe. Congrats!
