But Volvo does not have cheap models with a reasonable range, unfortunately. I'm seeing right now on their Spain's website 40k EUR for a single motor EX30 with 337km WLTP which is ridiculous
Yeah this surprised me. 40k is for a vehicle ready to buy immediately from their website. At the same time they have an ongoing campaign for 29k for a financed EX30 + charger installation.
But I hate to deal with car dealerships, they are the worse kind of salespeople out there, trying to sell you what they need to sell rather what you need to buy. You need to go there with a very, very well informed opinion about it. But then they will play the discounts card...
And, does the Volvo community have something like TeslaMate built upon the API? It's not sine qua non factor but it will move the scale a LOT in favor of a brand.
Probably not yet, so far all I've done as an owner was generate an API key and set it up in an integration in Home Assistant so I can track my state of charge over time. I'm sure more software will come!
You can still use the infotainment without signing into a Google Account. The only thing that's locked out is the Play Store and 3rd party apps (which you need the play store to download).
Can you use android auto? For the normal person your phone is a better place to get all that anyway. The few people driving as a full time job will find the cars built in stuff better but for most your phone had everything the rest of the time so you want to use that.
I ask because my GM doesn't despite having android automotive. I have to give GM a don't buy unless you drive as a job because of this, even though the car is nice otherwise.
Can't speak to how everyone else is using it but at my job we run all of our unit tests under Fil-C as part of CI, in addition to the UBASAN, TSAN, and Valgrind pipelines we already had for them.
Nuclear is high capex low opex. It needs such a miniscule amount of fissile material per year, whereas purchasing coal is an eternal ongoing cost.
Just to put some numbers on it, a 1GW conventional reactor consumes about 25 tonnes of enriched uranium per year, while a 1GW coal plant goes through 3.3 million tonnes of coal.
Slate are trying to cut cost everywhere they can to provide the cheapest barebones EV truck possible. My Volvo EX30 also lacks door speakers and while it's not top tier it's fine tbh. Volvo just put a giant speaker bar across the base of the windshield.
Essentially yes. I'm not gonna pretend it's better or even equivalent but it's not terrible. If you want a car with incredible audio there's plenty of options, but some people don't care and just want the cheapest car possible and they'll listen to music through a bluetooth speaker during their commute.
Regardless of whatever other things may be better or worse about ipv6, it's still a reality that as we continue connecting more and more devices to the internet eventually ipv4 addresses will become so scarce and valuable that a not-insignificant minority of residential customers will be behind such aggressive CGNAT that the internet will become nearly unusable unless a majority of the services they are using support ipv6.
