ID3 and others are curious cars. People have so many problems and software issues that it is funny how they still sell some cars. Those cars are regular cars that they stripped the engine and put an electric motor. Then sell it. After sell loads of cars, they started thinking about software and how an electric car might be diferent.
Who remembers their CEO for many times to say that they were about to pass Tesla in sales? When they almost had no cars or sales. Poor man, without medication, it is very hard to say something with meaning or have a clue about reality.
But the summary of this is simple: extortion.
This is the same company that created illegal cars and sold them. Then they got caught. Then they were to become the best electric cars. Then we got to see the crap of ID3 up to ID7! Remember it got rain and broke?
Let's hope they close that thing. Not the sausages, those are good and they sell them more than cars.
Still, Audi could get their engines from Honda. Fixed!
I inherited an ID3 and while I can say the software and entertainment system in general isn't great I think it is a solid car. If you look at how the cars improved by variant and versions over the last 4 years then it is quite remarkable. Cheap plastic gone, charging DC now at 185 kw, you have GTX versions with more HP than anybody would need.
Going EV is life-or-death for all car manufacturers. Who with the exception of Toyota, Hyundai, Kia and VW is doing a good job of the old manufacturers?

In contrast the US economy is service-based and thus isn't constrained to scale their prices up so much. Of course manufacturing becomes very hard to maintain when skilled workers can earn >100k.
All stats show that top US tech companies earn incredible amounts of money but their share of GDP growth isn't as big as the Mag7 share of the stock markets makes you think. (<15% of GDP growth in 2024)
Way past anything scientific. Spend 2 minutes googling “anthrophemoric co2 percentage”
Certainly the rise in Co2 from 280 ppm to 420 ppm since the onset of industrialization is rather very likely due to human actions.
There are a few problems with this question, but lets start with
Where is "out of reach for Europol and the FBI"?

But is it the right model? Does the release date actually matter to anyone?
