  EV6 is probably the best in tech, like the 800V system.

  Have you had the issue with iccu? They are unfortunately quite common, friend of mine had it. They will fully fix it, but it takes up to month to fix because they don’t have spare parts.

  I have Seat Mii, and I also think it is best car purchase that I have ever made

  All those are unfortunately so expensive here that I can only dream

  Only heard good things about them, but aren’t they few generation’s old no w. Not that next gen is always better, but EV’s have gone quite big generational steps.

  I currently drive Seat Mii, which is good small EV for city, but for long ranges VW and BMW are behind. Audi’s EV have been disasters. Cupras look good, but because I already have small EV, it doesn’t fit my use case

  Currently only proper options for EV is either Tesla, Korean EV’s (KIA, Hyundai) or Chinese. European and japanese EV’s are imo shit at the moment. Teslas I will avoid like plague, due to Nazis. KIA’s and Hyundai’s are so hard to get, so I am really considering getting BYD, Polestar or XPeng.

  I don’t think this is particularly AI issue, more like corporate greed issue. Some company have fooled her to write contract that allows them to use her audio recordings to do this without her. This happens in many different industries.

  Yeah, he is one of the doge kids

  If you generate CEO through this service, there is info button that states: “Does not actually use AI, powered by the souls of interns.” So this is probably ethical enough to replace the CEO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finland warms up the world’s largest sand battery, and the economics look appealing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding little bit extra context here.

  In Finland large number of homes are heated by district heating. This means there is heat plant or combined heat and power (CHP) plant, which heats water to around 70C - 110C (158F - 230F) and that is distributed to homes.

  In this system heat batteries are useful, and near all CHP plants in Finland have done heat battery in last few years. These heat batteries are just 7-store high insulated water storage. Usefulness to store just water is that system is relatively simple. Water in - water out. This makes it that the turbine in CHP can be run more freely towards electricity price, not the network heat demand.

  Plain heat plants generally don’t yet have these, because the buffer created by heat battery is not that much needed. But if these sand batteries can store heat longer, and because they might be cheaper to build, it can make sense.

  Source: I work in company that owns 19 district heating networks.

  You guys have clearly never had kids. It almost never goes like in the movies, you rush into hospital, and then you wait. Especially if the water broke, then you wait few days. There is absolutely nothing to do in the hospital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norway on track to be first to go all-electric⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Trains in Nordic have been electric for a generation, starting from 60’s.

  Busses have been electric in my knowledge about 10 years, I think most of them are ran by electric motor, which is charged with diesel if batteries run out.

  Trams have been electric for last 100 years.
