Well unless I’m reading this wrong, it seems USA is doing pretty well compared to other OECD countries (age 15):

Half of Americans have a functional literacy below a 6th grade level

Is this factual? Because if that’s true, that’s extremely bad, even shameful for a rich country like USA.

That’s why I’m not just an atheist but an anti-theist.

USA has a lot more crazy people than I ever suspected.
This lack of realization when faced with reality is way beyond any worst case scenario I ever imagined.
I thought most of the people who voted for him, simply didn’t believe the warnings. Turns out they actually support that shit?!?!

That you’d have to ask Audi about. I just know they do it.

“our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, plundered”

by other nations selling their goods to us cheaply, and by them accepting our Dollars that cost us nothing to make for it!!

I don’t think Trump understands the benefits and privileges for USA of having the top international reserve currency.
But maybe if he ruins it quick enough, he may find out?

Play stupid games and win stupid prices.

Maybe it didn’t have the limiter because it’s not specified to be able to go above anyway?
Congratulations on the upgrade, I haven’t tried it myself, but I’d imagine it was amazing. 😀

That’s an American law

It doesn’t make sense an American standard would use km/h.

https://www.theuth.co/why-are-many-cars-limited-to-250-km-h-maximum-speed/11102/

Article:

This limit at 250 km/h dates back decades and has origin in Germany.

You:

so vehicles weren’t faster than police vehicles

Also you:

I don’t think manufacturers are willing hobbling their vehicles.

Article:

They reached a gentlemen’s agreement to electronically limit the maximum speed of its models to 250 km/h.

I find it weird that a rental wasn’t limited to 250 km/h. Which most factories do by default. In fact it should be limited to even lower than that IMO.

It’s way faster than most cars can drive. Even high end performance cars often have a limiter at 250 km/h.
Here in Denmark, the legal limit on high speed roads is 130 km/h,and if you drive 200 or faster, your car is immediately confiscated, and you lose your drivers license.
Many electric cars are limited to 160 km/h. Even cars that have more than 200 hp.

So in short 300 is about twice what most would consider responsible. The breaking distance is 550 meter or more than half a km, in ideal weather with no slopes, and a response time to push the brakes of only half a second. That’s almost 5 times the breaking distance compared to driving 130 km/h (113 m).
Just in the half second to respond, the car will have moved 42 meters at 300 km/h!! Or about a third the legal high speed break distance.

Yes I’m not writing that shit, even in a sarcastic post. Bu I get your drift.
On the other hand, since you are from Germany, VW group is absolutely killing it on EV recently IMO.
They totally dominate top 10 EV here in Denmark, with 7 out of 10 top selling models!!
They are competitively priced, and they are the best combination of quality and range in their price ranges.

Just because Democrats are more resistant, they are not immune to propaganda.

Hey guys relax! It’s all part of the learning experience of Tesla FSD.
Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

it really is just people being xenophobic everywhere isn’t it?

That’s what it looks like to me. Italy too AFAIK.

We had a similar party here in Denmark, that became second largest party of the country with 21% in 2015, When the government introduced tough restrictions on immigration, they almost vanished a few years later, only very narrowly managing the 2% minimum requirement to have seats in parlament.

The popularity of the party was highly based on limiting immigration, much like Brexit, Trump, AfD and AFAIK also RN of France.

Yeas, to me it looks more like an orange. So that would be comparing apples to oranges.

Ah OK didn’t notice that. English is 2nd language.

Waymo can absolutely drive at night

True I just checked it up, my information was outdated.

We discussed the test here on Lemmy a few days ago. It was a German 6 hour test.
I can’t find the video that was debated, but you can’t be serious about not knowing about this issue?!?!?
It’s a years old issue that is still not fixed!!! It’s commonly known as Phantom breaking. AKA breaking without reason.

You are completely ignoring the under ideal circumstances part.
They can’t drive at night AFAIK, they can’t drive outside the area that is meticulously mapped out.
And even then, they often require human intervention.

If you asked a professional driver to do the exact same thing, I’m pretty sure that driver would have way better accident record than average humans too.

Seems to me you are missing the point I tried to make. And is drawing a false conclusion based on comparing apples to oranges.
