Thanks for the article.

Strejken har även fått draghjälp från 14 andra fackförbunds sympatiåtgärder i fyra olika länder.

I wish we could do more to help here in Denmark. I know there were some actions among harbor workers, but well done to IF Metall, and Swedish unions. Don't give up, they all break in the end.

Ok we don't have that here.

Dit danske var næsten 100% rigtigt.
Hav en dejlig uge.
Var mit dansk rigtigt?

Very well done. Knowing when to say min or mit is very difficult, it's something you only learn to hear with training. 👍😀. But fortunately it rarely ruin the meaning. It just sounds kind of cute.

That's just the beginning. Soon scientists won't be allowed at all. And the new task of the agency will be to restrict science across USA.

As long as it's not benign, that would be awful.

Good. Amazon is a threat to democracy. Together with Facebook and Xai, they are among the biggest threats to democracy.

You cracked me up. 👍😁

It's the religiously insane thing to do, so not surprising for USA.

I sure hope it's something serious, thoughts and prayers. 🙏

Yes they do, if you want to save money buy it used.
Battery technology is still evolving fast, and the competition is cutthroat ATM (except in USA).
I expect EV prices to keep to decline for at least the next 2 years. And we will get more durable safer cheaper solid state batteries beginning next year.

But for now I'm sporting a cool VW ID.4, which is an absolute luxury car compared to anything I've ever had before. It's amazingly smooth and quiet to drive, it can take tight curbs like compact, and although it's not a powerhouse by today's standards, it feels plenty responsive compared to an normal ICE car.
I bought it 4 years old for less than half price, and it is as good as new!
I highly recommend it.

Hey calm down now, of course it has safety, didn't you see the rope? 🤣🤣🤣

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

That was 45 instead of 50. I don't think that would make a huge difference.
This thing is allowed to drive 130 km/h here, and has even less protection.

what if you need to go faster for some reason

With any cruise control you can always go faster just stepping on the speeder. When you release the speeder the cruise control takes over again. You can disable cruise control at any by time touching the break, or turn it off.
I admit I didn't know it was this good before I got it, I just thought it was cool it could keep breaking distance. Which was all I thought it could.
You still have to keep an eye on it though, it can get the speed limit wrong, and you can't use it if there are special weather conditions like snow or ice on the road.
But yes it's an amazing convenience on a normal day. And it has made me be way more calm in my driving, than my old manual.
But also the silence of an electric is amazing, it's like driving a luxury car, and it is much less stressing in traffic.

My comment that I can't see if I am not logged in to Youtube:

@buffalox8492 for 2 timer siden (redigeret) How is that piece of sh*t car street legal in Norway?
The design conflicts with standards that protect soft/vulnerable road users as well as other cars and the driver, The sharp edges are a hazard to soft traffic, and, the extreme rigidity lacking crumbling zones and weight of the car is an insane danger to everybody, even including the driver. And there are numerous safety issues with the technology that you depend on to drive it.and something as simple as the lights on the car are simply designed wrong for safety!
I thought Norway observed EU standards, but apparently not. Shame on them for allowing this car on their roads. Norwegians should demand to have it removed ASAP! For their own safety. Be warned, This is probably the worst most dangerous car to drive in modern times!

This video explains some of the problems that make it illegal in UK:

Across its full range, Tesla sold just 83 vehicles in total in January 2026, marking an 88 percent decline compared to the same period last year.

With little innovation and lacking new models, Tesla has decided to cut prices again, this time the price of the model 3 is cut by 10%.

This may be to regain some of the lost marketshare. But it may also be because they simply have too much stock.
Cutting production is expensive, and obviously producing just to stockpile unsold products is expensive too.

I have no doubt that this price cut is an act of desperation, not a result of being competitive. Tesla is losing money no matter if they cut production or they cut the prices or they stock up on unsold product.

Whichever is the case, I had a good laugh that the Swasticars are so hard to sell Tesla has to cut prices yet again, and that's despite inflation.

Allegedly the profitability on a Tesla car was recently estimated at just 2%, so cutting the price by 10% is going to hurt for them.

Here's a link to a story about it by a major news outlet in Denmark:

Anton Gerashchenko on Bluesky story about a strike at a nuclear plant with documentation:

The post contains video from the situation.

As I've been posting many times before, many workers in Russia are behind on payments. People working in factories being 3 months behind is not uncommon.
Anna from Ukraine explains the situation here. She is a good source IMO, because her English is excellent, and being Ukrainian she understands Russian, and makes frequent news updates about the Ukrainian war from various perspectives.

Inside Russia on youtube was first to report on the Russian population beginning to have had enough to a degree they are actually beginning to complain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoR5_bJywWQ

I've claimed before I don't think Putin will last through the winter, and I see this as the first signs that the Russian people is about to have had enough.
The story reported by Anna and Gerashchenko tells that the workers are at least 2 months behind on wages, they were promised transportation to work, something that is important because of the lack of fuel, and public transport becoming unreliable. But they do not get the promised transportation. They were also promised 1 hot meal per day, but do not receive that either.
Finally in their homes, they are out of water and heat.

This is the economic and infrastructure collapse many have predicted was inevitable, that is now beginning to really show. And it isn't even really winter yet!

PS: The moderators removed my previous post with false accusations, so here it is posted again according to their demands.

FDM warns of errors in several models from Tesla, and FDM has now been successful by the Danish Road Safety Authority. FDM has previously described that there are several cases of significant veil in the rear suspension and in the steering column of the popular Model 3.

The Danish Road Safety Authority has stated that the motorists' interest organization, FDM, rightly did not approve two Tesla Model 3 by sight after the car owners had independently complained about the demand for omsyn.

FDM said in a statement.

In both cases, the sight results were due to "too much veil in bushings in rear-wheel suspension".

However, Tesla found no faults and thought the electric cars should have been approved, which led to complaints and the Traffic Agency's review. Many Teslas have "veil in the bushing"

The agency concludes that the cars had a significant veil and that the vision had been carried out correctly in both cases.

Earlier in the year, the FDM warned that there are many Teslas that have veils in bushings in the rear-wheel suspension and in the steering column. See also FDM comes with call for Tesla owners

Veils in rear suspensions mean that there is a looseness or abnormal movement in the parts that connect the car's rear wheel to the car itself.

This applies to both the Model 3 and Model Y. According to FDM, around 37,000 Model 3 and more than 40,000 Model Y have been registered in Denmark. The error is seen on newer cars

Usually you first see the problem on older cars, which have driven many kilometers, but FDM has seen several models with the error early in the life expectancy of the cars.

It creates doubts about the safety of cars, writes FDM, who has contacted Tesla to get the company to solve the problems. See also Tesla gets fined for flawed marketing

"We expect Tesla to help drivers, as it is not fair that the consumer has an additional cost of repair and possibly overhaul, because the car has a fault it shouldn't have," said Lone Otto, area manager in FDM's technical advice.

At the beginning of the year, FDM said that almost one in four Model 3 from the year 2020, which last year was for inspection, failed - among other things because of veils.

For other electric cars, the dump percentage was nine.
