That’s ideal conditions, so very few people would actually see that. If you don’t have somewhere to charge, you can typically charge up at somewhere like a supermarket.

I’ll believe that when I see it.

15 miles a day under ideal conditions isn’t really a significant amount, most EVs could run for multiple weeks without being charged under those conditions.

There’s also things like Sentinel mode on Teslas that use power.

My main gripe is people think a solar car will never need to be charged, or only on trips, and that’s just not the case.

There’s something that people really fail to grasp with solar, and that’s the fact there is bugger all energy in the sun, and you need a huge surface area to get any meaningful energy.

A home solar array often takes up a significant chunk of the roof area, and the amount of surface area a car typically has means that even perfectly efficient solar panels wouldn’t collect enough energy to significantly contribute to the vehicle’s range.

There’s a good reason why vehicle manufacturers don’t bother adding them.

Even in locations where you are required to give notice, you can just pay out the notice period.

Someone who isn’t a pedant would interpret “using the OS” as going through the start menu, or equivalent.

You are unbelievably pedantic.

A short press of the power button shuts down almost any computer in existence, why would you use the OS?

I wonder how many people will just have the thing upside down?

Tesla sell everything except the Cybertruck in right hand drive, so I think it’s a fair comparison.

And the bronco?

No, you utter pillock, I mean they don’t sell them. Most of the vehicles you are yapping about are left hand drive only.

A Ford Bronco Sport or Escape

I can’t buy either of those where I live, by the way.

Good to know. I absolutely cannot stand any computer voice I’ve heard so far.

What did these voices sound like, is there audio available somewhere?

I’ve always found automated voices incredibly annoying to listen to, the cadence is always wrong. I’d like to know if the “AI” voices were any different.

We don’t get the Maverick in right hand drive markets.

Talking about affordable cars, and then going on about F series trucks, is pretty out of touch.

And I’m not sure what vehicles they sell where you live, but they’ve stopped selling the Mondeo, focus, and Fiesta, the smallest brand new Ford you can buy near me is a mustang.

Ford are up to their eyeballs in debt, and they completely gave up on making affordable cars, which is the market segment that made Ford what they are in the first place.

Tesla actually makes vehicles normal people can afford to buy and run, so yes, they are worth more than Ford.

Yep. Absolutely pointless.
