@blogagog@Handre You compare actual GDP between countries with more than 10x population size difference? per capita Ireland is like 140k$ and Iceland 110k$, but the Irish number is much more faux, probably like at least 50%.
@ToikkaJyri@diipadidaa Final offer doesn't mean it is sold at https://t.co/7qwrAzbGvz, only when it reads "offer accepted" and even then they are often relisted because the seller didn't pay, the ad was inaccurate etc.
@eevblog@optoio@ChrisWithRobots Except in colder climates you got to be careful with charging when the battery is below freezing. Hence why I got a natrium based battery for my diesel ;)
@optoio@BerndFelsche@eevblog@13vdc Teslas have come with varied Lithium based 12V batteries since like 2021 already. Other manufacturers have been slower to catch on, I guess mainly because not having total control of electronics. The 12V (or 16V more like) batteries are only like 7Ah also!
@Big_tudor @AlwaysOnPlanes1 @Flying_Abi@SteveNomadic@CaptBob_Nomadic@scottiebateman@MCCCANM Maybe they wager it being cheaper than a tow at $100/minute at a minimum. That would be 1000 minutes or 2.7 minutes daily tugging around only. Consider the tow could be like 20 minutes everyday, it would add up quickly. In fuel it would cost maybe $500 for 20 minutes.
@lucagrecoita I guess it is mainly because they have so much experience with stampings. The bigger castings, machines and extra material costs would probably still end up cheaper. Nevermind all the potential reliability issues from joining castings and stampings in a pack!
@JuhoKostiainen Ostin mä pari kittiä muistia... Harmi ettei nämä tule ikinä kuluttajamarkkinoille käytettynä, harvemmin edes Kiinan kautta kierrätettynä.
@BatlicKapitein@1st_sealord@JussiVaahtikari@BartGonnissen@Marechaussee In many countries you do not even need ID to enter the country you are a citizen of. This law would take precedence over anything else. In the Netherlands it looks like you are not required to carry an ID, but should be able to prove your identity on request.
@darpinian@SPACEPIR4TE@andrewmccalip Pure Teflon isn't toxic according to known literature. However the precursors are the problem. And as you would expect, no manufacturing process is perfect.
