Self driving is absolutely a thing. FULL self driving like what Tesla tries to bullshit about is a way off.

Aren’t EVs mostly a thing to save the car industry, and not really in the end all that good for the environment?

No that’s ICE talking points.

There’s obviously no comparison to be made with public transit, public transit kicks the ass of everything else in environmental friendliness. But it isn’t and won’t be an option in many cities and countries, so cars are here to stay for the medium future at least.

Given that we acknowledge the need for cars, what about the higher environmental impact of manufacturing them? Research shows that based on the cleanliness of the power sources the grid is using, it takes an average of 6 - 24 months for an EV to break even and start overtaking an ICE vehicle in (reduced) emissions. That’s not a long time in a car’s lifetime, and that’s not yet accounting for future economies of scale such as battery recycling that we don’t yet implement.

The WLTP is pretty accurate to the actual range I get on my BYD.

Wouldn’t be the first time in history a dictator made no preparation for their own passing, or allowed any such plans to be made.

You dropped this: ‘/s’

Sorry, as an Asian I honestly thought Mexico was in South America. I don’t think we touched the americas more than one day in geography class.

So like, 50%?

You could just pop it open in your browser… don’t even need an account.

Yes, but the ruling stated that they violated defamation rules, which implies defamation did happen.

The question I was asking is, how is it defamation if it’s true. You seem to have wandered off onto a tangent of what constitutes ethical / civilised advertising.

one can easily see what happens when it is allowed to talk about your enemies instead of what you provide. Just look at the logical end of this in form of the attack ads of the US political campaigns.

More countries than not allow comparative advertising, and the world is not ending. Why use politics as an inaccurate example when the majority of countries actually practice it to some extent?

The question was how is it defamation, you’re giving a non-answer that’s nothing more than a blatant appeal to authority.

So if an ad were to make fun of how horrible Tesla’s Full Self Driving feature is, that would be unfair and misleading? As opposed to the pain simple truth?

How is it defamation if it’s true?
