Putin is a violent, ruthless dictator supported by a corrupt oligarchy. While he might claim to borrow ideas from communism, 9/10 people I have heard supporting communism hate Putin.
And while I don't really like conservatives, I also think it's unfair to most conservatives to pretend Trump is "just conservative".
Apart from China, Hyundai/Kia is producing really great EVs. And the German brands have viable ones that might eventually catch up to Korea and China now that they're taking it more seriously. Renault is really getting it lately and even Stellantis is coming with new platforms that are pretty good. The Japanese have invested more in anti-EV-propaganda than in EVs.
We have a Hyundai Kona from 2019 and it's an amazing car. Every single person who ever tried it never wants to drive an ICE again. And this is an old low-to-mid-end vehicle. Our next EV is definitely going to be a lot better.
I'm sure batteries would have progressed more quickly if they had been chosen as the preferred path 100 years ago.
Big oil forced that shit onto you instead of going the far superior EV route from the beginning. Now EVs are finally taking over and I'm happy my kids never have to get fuel grease on their hands and suffer those nasty fumes at gas stations. Shifters were needed for an inferior technology to work. I liked it as an experience when I learned to drive. But cars are mostly transport due to failure of better public transport infrastructure. I don't care whether they're fun. I drive for fun on the Xbox or maybe in a GoKart every few years.
Oh that felt good to rant.
This one was already great and after checking out the brand I'm in pain. I thought my Garmin cured me of watch obsession. But these are too damn sexy
What commies? This makes no sense?!
Lemmy is becoming better and better and people like you are giving a major contribution to that! Thank you!
We need to hold them accountable and stop looking the other way. But more hate and destruction will not solve anything.
I play some Helldivers and Marvel Rivals on my ultrawide for example. And while I'm currently playing Cyberpunk on my Xbox I might play similar titles on a computer too
They better release a new one before I break down and buy a new "gaming laptop" because I sometimes game.
We can dream of a timeline where SpaceX and Tesla decide to put Elon himself into the next Roadster they fire into space.
Well, our Kona is a weird crossover-y thing but otherwise literally identical to its ICE brothers.
Maybe Peugeot, Citroen and similar are what you are after? The new Peugeot 308 electric is pretty "boring" - it's not an amazing EV but better than what they had before
