FROM THE INTERNET Police
in Switzerland in canton Basel bought Teslas. Obviously with poor
evaluation. They regret this decision deeply, because only after bought
them, they found out it doesn't meet police requirement.
E.g. a Tesla is a Laptop on wheels, so a hacker can take over
control. More gas please, empty the battery or fill it up. A Tesla is
connected with the company who gets every little data. The Tesla Company
can take over the electronic themselves.
How to disconnect? Not
possible.
They know where you are, how fast you drive, and they can hear all communication in the car. Super cool for police.
And in Switzerland with snow and temperatures below 0° Celsius, the
charging takes more time, battery is empty in short time, doors can't be
opened electronically. Great for gangsters in wintertime.
Now they have the problem: How to get a communication system not connected with Tesla Company or easily available for hackers.
I was going to buy a Tesla until I realized that it was really a data collection device.
Then when it came out that the software was basically Linex (which is
actully a very robust operating system for lots of devices) but could
also be easily hacked, I changed my mind.
I cringe at the thought of a car testifying against me in traffic
court because I wanted to go from 0 to 60 in three seconds in a 50mph
speed zone, and has a reputation of frying the owner if something goes
wrong on the highway.
BTW, what does happen to the batteries when they get old?
Porsche is a great performance car all the way around, but I'll stick
with good old high octane and just enough electronic options to keep
things interesting but without having to worry about my ride turning
"states evidence". I can fuel up my car for 350 miles in 5 minutes.
The Porsche Taycan is widely considered to be the "mainstream" luxury
automobile market's most potent threat to the Tesla Model S. The specs
for the vehicle look to be extremely impressive, not just from an EV
standpoint, but from any type of "street legal" standpoint. It is said to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds and it’ll have a top speed of over 155 mph.
Its range will come in at 310 miles and it will be chargeable up to 250
miles in just over 20 minutes at a Porsche high-voltage supercharger.
Oh, and it also happens to rather impressive.
There has been an air of intrigue surrounding the Taycan since it was
announced in late 2015 and it'll finally be going on sale at the end of
the year this year. As we get closer to that date, we're also getting
our first look at potential demand, which seems to be far exceeding
Porsche's expectations. BGR is reporting that demand is so strong that Porsche is actually doubling production to meet it.
The article reveals that Porsche is going to manufacture 40,000 units
per year, which is twice its initial plan of 20,000 vehicles.
(Bloomberg) -- After a fender-bender with his Tesla Model S last
February, Tor Havard Wiig figured he’d be back on the road within a week
or two. Five months on, he’s still waiting on parts—and he’s ready to
sell the two-year-old car. It's only value is leaving it out in the driveway so his neighbors can ogle it with envy and admire his global warming stance.
The delay and scant communication from Tesla Inc. show “there’s a
lot lacking there,” said Wiig, a 43-year-old gay technology consultant in
the Norwegian coastal city of Bergen. “I never expected it to take so
long to fix such minor damage. It's very hard to virtue signal in a diesel BMW and mine lover...he complains constantly. Still, I try to work into every conversation I have that I own a Tesla.”
You don't say?
As Tesla sales boom in Norway, customers are grousing about a
dealership network and service operation that have failed to keep pace.
Though Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk says the level of output Tesla
has reached this summer means it’s finally become a real car company,
the experience in Norway suggests Tesla’s woes don’t stop at the
assembly line. Musk has struggled to ramp up production of a cheaper
sedan, the Model 3, and the company is said to have pressed suppliers to return cash paid for components.
In Norway, where plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles made up
more than half of new car sales last year, Tesla is the lowest-ranked
automaker on a list of brands for quality of service, and fourth-worst
among companies in all sectors. $150,000 for a car that breaks down constantly and has a wait time of 6 months for ANY KIND OF REPAIR, just sucks.
Tesla has slipped up massively as sales in Norway for its Model S sedan and
Model X SUV—with prices ranging from about $80,000 to $130,000 in
Norway—tanked last year. Its repair staff, by contrast, has grown only by a
third—highlighting the potential troubles it may face as electric cars
become more commonplace among the stupid and easily programmed leftist lgbtqfko crowd. Electric virtue signaling car buyers are merely paying for their own imprisonment.
