LOL.
Every company out there is screaming that they will build tesla killers. They are not saying that they will build Renault killers or Mercdes killers or BYD killers.
Tesla is not doing motors on each wheel because it is ineffective. That is why every car maker that starts down that path stops. They do OTA updates and constantly have a car that improves. All their cars compete head on with ICE versions, instead of being highly over priced shit like the leaf, i3, bolt, etc. Tesla has a massive super charger network that covers almost 1/2 of the global population. MB/VW/Ford are just now starting to build out a super charger network and even then, they are getting govs to fund it.
The reason that nearly all car makers have moved their autopilot efforts to California is because Tesla is WAY ahead of others. Yes, at the moment, they are having the same singular issue that has to be addressed. BUT, they remain way ahead.
Safety? Tesla makes volvo look like a yugo.
Finally, there IS no real EV innovation in Europe. Even China is ahead of Europe.
Angel, you are messed up because you let your hatred of America fucked with your head.
that is not accurate.
Yes, China steals a great deal. BUT, that does not mean that CHina's innovation is not up and coming. It is a horrible mistake to claim otherwise. Just like Japan and India today, you have many ppl in CHina that are learning and are as innovative as any others.
yup. I have dealt with 2 Chinese spies as well. We actually arrest and deport a lot more spies than ppl realize. And the amount of chinese spying that goes on is amazing.
THere was a difference. Europe was forcing all other nations/colonies to cater to them with resources.
America does not do that. In fact, up until now, we have allowed/encouraged manufacturing to go offshore. The idea was to help other nation's get rich to have better 2 way trade. Problem is, when the other nation puts up massive barriers even once they are equals in many aspects.
That has been insane.
Of course, Trump's approach with the rest of our western allies is just as insane.
really? No innovation here?
Nearly all of AE still comes from America.
EV innovation is coming from America.
Space innovation is coming from America.
China/India are still trying to catch up with civil nuclear tech innovation from America's 60s.
Most of the items that are made in China but sold in America were innovated in America, not china.
BUT, America is not innovative?
You could only be Porky/Red Tide to have such egregious lies.
China continues to require that nearly all companies that operate in CHina to have 51% chinese ownership (though cars are now exempted, though they will still pay high tariffs). Likewise, the companies will be required to turn over IP to Chinese owners.
And yet, this is America's fault for a western company wanting to keep their IP, while Chinese companies will sue for theft of their IP.
Yeah, totally makes sense.
Now, if Trump would just do his GD job or at least keep a few of his promises esp for dealing with CHina.
First, this is only with china/America, not with others, so nobody else can do squat.
Secondly, according to WTO, when trade differs by more than 10% between 2 nations, then tariffs ARE legal. And 150B vs 650B is a bit more than 10%.
YOu are the one that is not too bright.
100% is way too high. We simply need to put the same tariffs/vats on their goods that they put on western goods. If we do that, then allow China to decide how to deal with this. If they want to keep them on, good. Better yet, would be remove them and we remove ours.
The problem becomes that China still manipulates their money, subsidies/dumps, and have one of the worse environmental/labor laws. But we really should be dealing with that as well. America needs to bring our environmental laws up to the rest of the western standards, esp. Canada and Europe's. While we are ahead on somethings (such as mercury and lead emissions), we are behind in others (err.... CO2 anybody). All of these are tied to gov and businesses choices so one approach is for us to tie a slowly increasing tax to the worst part/service for the various pollutants. That would get everybody to clean up.
tech has never leaned conservative or GOP.
Engineers used to, but not any longer.
At this time, Trump's backers are uneducated whites, along with old whites.
This remains a joke. Trump restored ZTE because China gave Ivanka a trademark that she wanted. There has NEVER been such a corrupt president in office as trump. If he wants to be fair, he will put the same tariffs/vats on CHinese goods that they put on western goods. Likewise, he would require that all factories with chinese owners to have 50.1% American ownership. In addition, no more deals will be allowed in china for moving manufacturing over there. IOW, when we develop a product here, it will not be allowed to be manufactured in CHina, or for that matter, for ownership to be transfered to any chinese company.
Not sure how to deal with their subsidies, dumping, and manipulation, but even this would be a good start.
Then allow China to deal with it as they see fit. If CHina removes an items, so do we.
well, even better would be using a number of our old mines.
In particular, I really think that we should separate out a number of items that provide useful elements and putting these in various mines. For example, all this coal ash that most utility companies have, is holding huge amounts of elements that ARE recoverable, iff we have high/cheap temps. The elements are things like gold, silver, Uranium, Thorium, and yeah, mercury, lead, arsenic, etc. Putting the ash in an old mine and waiting for cheap temps, OR once we get high temp nuclear SMRs going, and start separating these things, we can take the separated elements, use the good ones and put the individual 'waste' elements in separate mines. At some future point, they WILL be needed. It may seem like Mercury and Lead have no real use, but, even as radiation shielding, lead can be useful. Mercury can still be used for amalgamation, though there is plenty for it.
Actually, due to lifetime being extended, the global average would be 2.1 for stable population ( early deaths, sterility, genetic issues, etc require the.1 ). Something like 30-50 years ago, it was 2.3 for stability.
Al jazerra gave.5 B to Al Gore? Go ahead. Show us the link.
Personally, I have found Al jazerra to be more credible than sources like faux news, Breitbart, daily stormer, Pravda, xinhua, etc.
America west is dependent on several streams that are shared amongst states. Problem is, these are drying up, while states like AZ, are playing games. But with our Congress solving nothing, the water issue is only going to get worse.
A number of nations in Europe are burning plastics and paper just fine. Look, these are not simply burned out in the open. They are burning plastics, wood, food, etc that can not recycled easily.
weird,
I do not know anybody that runs AC at 16C. Heat will be, but, AC, at least in America, will be 22-27C. And yeah, we will run ours at 23-24C.
BTW, now that you are in the states, go spend a summer or winter in anywhere from Northern Ill to Minneapolis. Jul-mid aug, or end of dec until about mid feb, used to be intense for temperature.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, disregarding trump, how exactly has America harmed Europe? Even now, Europe owns a number of American based companies, and vs. versa.
LOL.

no, it did not. Trump was not elected. Hillary was simply voted out. HUGE difference.

actually, he will get about 12 years, not 4. Pence might only get 8 years, but hopefully not.
actually, you are wrong on many accounts. We DO a lot of consumer good manufacturing. And with electronics, S. Korea, Japan, and Europe all do a lot.

We need to be doing more of that in America. We are going to see shortages sooner, rather than later.

Parts of Europe still does loads of dumping of their garbage in the oceans.
Likewise, 5 nations are responsible for 60% of all garbage in the ocean.
It turns out that five countries are the leading contributors to this crisis. And all are in Asia. In a recent report, Ocean Conservancy claims that China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are spewing out as much as 60 percent of the plastic waste that enters the world’s seas.
America stopped decades ago, so instead, we have had it going to China and other nations. That also needs to stop. ALL OF IT. Far better for America to recycle, bury, or burn it.
Hey idiot. Let me guess. If you can not lie, then you simply attack others? and note that 75F is 24C.
weird,
I do not know anybody that runs AC at 16C. Heat will be, but, AC, at least in America, will be 22-27C. And yeah, we will run ours at 23-24C.

i never said that those ppl do not use it. You continue to lie.
