I see...

That american urge to use umlauts, without using the sound it signifies, always baffled me.

Why the umlaut? I don't get that part, theres just about nothing German or European about anything in this image

Probably not, but not many (if any) do it to the extent of the chinese.

Lyckily it was only a loaner I had for a little more than a week.

It's the 75kW on a DC charger thats slow, decade old cars are getting better speeds than that and cars a couple of years old are 200kW+ on DC with some peaking at 300kW.

The 7kW AC charging is also annoying because they limit it by using single phase charging, especially if you're in a country where 32A single phase current is not normal in residential areas. Then you're limited to 16A which is only 3.5kW, meaning you can barely charge it in a night. There is just no good reason to do single phase charging on new cars.

I could also live with low range, as you said it's intentional to keep battery price low. But the damn charging speed is also bad, which is arguably more important than a large battery and doesn't impose the same price increase as a large battery.

Regarding driver assistances like TACC, I'm not sure how you could be satisfied with it's performance at all, it is by far the worst I've ever tried.

He said it was under ฿1M Which is $30,000 US. I was shocked.

That's what heavily state subsidised and controlled manufacturing will get you. Not saying it's bad, but it is just the reason they're so cheap compared to many other brands that are not subsidised as heavily from their government.

I've only tried the peugeot 208 electric version, but my God is it an absolutely shit vehicle. Terrible range, terrible charging speed (much bigger issue than the limited range), bad driver assistances. Their TACC is about the worst I've tried with random phantom brakes all the time and poor reaction time (both reducing and increasing speed). All in all it feels much cheaper than it actually is, which is too bad.

Except that, despite their usual MO, they did actually fix it so people didn't need to buy new devices.

If you don't like closed source printers, don't look at anything from Anycubic. They all run proprietary FW that you cannot modify on proprietary controller boards, and their hot end also use a custom nozzle thats very close to a volcano but not enough to actually use standard volcano nozzles.

FWIW I have the kobra 2 from them, but it was their last model where you could flash klipper on, and I switched out the hot end for a standard volcano ($35 mod). It's a good printer considering I paid $250, putting out 200mm/s printing and 350mm/s travel with fairly good quality. I have put well over 1000h on mine and aside from bed levelling probe drifting a bit requiring occasional recalibration, it's a solid performer.

Where is this magical European place with trains that are only .5sec delayed? Our public transit authority considers train "on time" if they're no more than 20min late...and still, less than 80% of trains are "on time"...

It's piss and poop...
