  • Eni also owns be charge, Italy’s #2 charging network

    Using the “Ukraine war, sorry gas is expensive” excuse they have a 1000% markup on the chargers. At 1€/kWh, the electricity they’re selling is more expensive than gas.

    Not sure why if 2 years ago methane prices skyrocketed (now back to normal), then now 100% renewable energy (they claim that their chargers exclusively use renewables) should be sold at such markup.

    Another shitty action that they’ve done is that they won the bid by the government+eu to install thousands of chargers within a short amount of time, then 6 months later admitted that they can’t do it, give up. Assholes, it is now impossible for a competitor to submit and execute a new plan before the deadline set by EU








  • Elon never cared a bit about environment and shit, that’s why he wants to land on some other inhabitable planet.

    It just happened that there was a void in the market and Tesla was at the right time, introducing expensive luxury ev with long range when the only other options were expensive shitboxes with limited range. Suddenly there was an option to get something that would be worth owning at that price range.

    If he really cared the environment he would push for a small and light city vehicle instead of a huge heavy truck with a giant battery that can’t be used for actual work



  • I only like the part where you can just order from the website instead of going to a dealership where after one hour of talking and giving you a plethora of personal data that is guaranteed to inundate you with spam they tell you that due to high demand the car sells for 3k over MSRP

    For the rest, while I really like the clean design, for me a car must have

    • A stalk for the indicator lights
    • Gear selector on physical buttons
    • Climate on physical buttons
    • If it comes with automatic windshield, a $1 wet sensor that works in any visibility instead of trying to do it in software with computer vision
    • If it comes with parking sensors, an array of $2 ultrasonic sensors that always work instead of trying to do it in software with computer vision
    • Android auto/carplay. I want to be able to choose which app is used with navigation or use different ways to send messages besides sms. If the car operating system doesn’t allow me to send messages using signal or to use offline openstreetmaps, then for me it’s limited

  • Race is never mentioned, unless it is a race-related hate crime.

    We need something like this in my country. There’s a newspaper here (il giornale) that always has headlines like

    • African robs store
    • African rapes girl
    • Illegal alien shoplifts
    • Mad African shouts in a mall
    • Foreigner madness: demands food then gets mad when denied

    And so on. The last (foreigner madness) is almost a catchphrase for them, if you search for “la follia dello straniero” it comes out only results from that outlet

    A crime is a crime and the criminal nationality is irrelevant, unless you need to push some agenda
