that's odd. maybe it's the cheapest?

[โ€“] f314@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The vast majority of the sales are Model Y, which I believe is a great value, yes. I just hoped people would hesitate more given what Elon has been up to lately.

Yeah unfortunately I can confirm that when I was shopping around last year, if you're going for a new vehicle, it's impossible to beat the model Y in terms of size/function/price/range ratio. Basically you can match to something a bit similar in terms of size/range at the same price but that's without any of the options and by the time you add them you're like 10kโ‚ฌ above... In the end I decided to downsize and got a smaller, used EV (Peugeot e208) which I'm very happy with and cover most of my daily needs, and take our older hybrid with a roof box when I need the space.

yeah, me too. I am of a very high opinion about the people of Norway, and I hope this changes sooner rather than later.

Fun fact! Norway consumes the most frozen pizzas per person in the world!

I wish that this fact is the worst problem for the Norwegian people :) cheers from Ukraine :)

Is it a different type of plug?

[โ€“] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 13 hours ago

In Europe it doesn't matter at all.

Why can't you use it on non Tesla's then? Different voltage?

[โ€“] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

You can use most. Used to be that you could not. Maybe it's just not common knowledge that got can. Idk

Iโ€™m not sure how important that is when pretty much every single gas station has fast chargers these days. I donโ€™t drive often, though, so I might be wrong!
