A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

From the article: "He believes that the current regulations are too rigid and that the focus should be on creating a sustainable and profitable business model for the automotive industry."
In other words, fuck the environment, our profits are more important.
I can't run my business without destroying the environment 🥺👉👈
It goes further than that:
"We have been unwilling and incompetent to innovate and adapt to changes. Instead of catching up on innovation, we demand the public to suffer from it and subsidize or profits."
The tightening of emission standards is continuous process and the requirements are known for many years in advance.
In other words, we should triple all fines and implement a 10% penalty every single day they go unpaid or disputed before these worthless greedy cunts literally cook us all alive on our own fucking planet.
Or maybe we should just dust off the ol' guillotine
I'm starting to get hungry. When do we eat?
I call for the Mercedes-Benz CEO to go fuck himself.
With a pineapple 🍍
The long way
"That thing we're not supposed to do? Just let us do it."
Mercedez Benz used my Grandmother as slave labor in Auschwitz to make their airplane engines. Mercedez Benz shouldn't even exist anymore.
I think CEO salaries could go into r&d if they feel that department need more money.
And that, dear kids, is why the European car industry is failing.
Källenius emphasized the need for flexibility within the European Green Deal…
Flexibility is a luxury we can no longer afford. If Mercedes can’t adapt, it deserves to die.
The funny thing is, it doesn't even matter. Either they transform into an EV company or they die with the declinining ICE market.
But all that fine money can till then be paid to the shareholders you silly goose.
No. Go away, spend the money, do the research, build better cars. In fact, since we are at, try and make a car for the modern age of mobility.
Mercedes already has some very nice EVs with very long ranges. They're far ahead of the competition, but they also cost 10 times more. You can litteraly buy 10 other EVs or a friggin mansion for the same as one Mercedes.
We don't need more luxury cars. We need good quality, affordable, cars.
If made in Europe, even better.
I think Mercedes already builds busses for public transport.
Rode a few when in my teens.
I dont give a fuck about Mercedes Benz, but "arenaEV" does not seem like an unbiased source.
