Seriously, if all the #BEVs are *overpriced #SuperUselessVehicles instead of #PersonalLightVehicles then this is 100% self-inflicted...
#PersonalLightVehicles
@reticuleena @peterjelinek deshalb dominiert #China und #Japan, statt dass #Deutschland und die #EU inventives für die EG-Fahrzeugklassen #L7e pushed und wie Japan #KeiCars aka. #PersonalLightVehicles priorisiert...
@ulrichkelber am Ende ist es doch nur #Selbstsabotage der eigenen Industrie weil #US-mäßiger #Protektionismus beschissene #SuperUselessVehicles pusht statt brauchbare #PersonalLightVehicles zu nem brauchbaren Preis…
- Die Zahlen zur "V.R." #China sehen erstmal groß aus aber >95% davon sind #KeiCars und #Kleinwägen, der Rest (Mini-)Busse und LKW die juristisch noch unter EG-Fahrzeugklasse M1 fallen…
@hllizi darf gern auch außerhalb der EG-Fahrzeugklasse M1 sein wenn das anderweitig nicht machbar ist...
Klassen #L2e & #L5e bieten sich für #PersonalLightVehicles geradezu an...
Not that I advocate for combustion engines - far from it.
- I just want #FuelCells to finally steamroll #LithiumBatteries because refueling #Methanol is faster than any charging could ever be due to #EnergyDensity and #Physics...
Also #FuelCell solves the #RangeProblem or rather "#RangeFear" elegantly with existing (or at least trivially convertible) infrastructure, as it's way faster and cheaper to clean a fuel storage tank and pump and converting it to IPCA 99,9% Methanol, which whilst toxic upon ingestion is abundant in nature to the point that unlike #gasoline it's naturally being decomposed by bacteria and fungi.
- Instead of displays of #hyperconsumerism we need should demand smaller and more efficient like the #VW #XL1 (or rather #1L / #L1 but without #enshittification into a "#GermanEngineering #Shitpost" ...
Cuz that's what happens when someone decided to go completely bonkers in terms of high-end...
- Affordable #PersonalLightVehicles are the way of the future.
And that's why I propose to aggressively work towards #PersonalLightVehicles and whilst some people may easily consider products like the #TataNano yet another billionaire's doodling turned into a product of a person who is inherently not perfect (but who'm I wished to have the chance to have tea with, but sadly never got.)...
- Needless to say what one thinks of the Nano (which I'd love to have one as collectible if I ever got more money than sense!) or it's predecessor, the Indica (which looks like an #Opel #Corsa C 5-door.), we can propably agree that if we can't have #PublicTransport reach every village in a reasonable frequency 24/7, Personal Light Vehicles are the way to go.
Cuz we can all agree that the #WankPanzer by #SwastiCar isn't going to "save the world" (despite some dellusional #BEV fans thinking!) because it's overall #wastefulness is the Problem.
But also there is no #US equivalent answer to say the #OpelRocks, #CitroenAmi or even #KeiCars for that matter, with some states having been lobbied by #US car makers to explicitly outlaw #PersonalLightVehicles for no valid reason (but that they cut into their margins)... I mean, ask @tikibunnyimports about the issues some #DMV|s will create for buyers who not just want to collect weird smol cars but actually drive them.
- Now granted, espechally when you let a convinced petrolhead with racing license like #MatthiasMalmedie drive that #PLV, you gonna see him dislike it and "not get it"...
And pricing-wise the #OpelRocksE needs to come down way more, with competing vehicles from "P.R." #China being about €1k cheaper in spite of penalty tarriffs...
- Still, we can all agree that we need #SmallerCars and with very few exceptions, a #PersonalLightVehicle makes way more sense than a jacked-up pickup truck that won't even fit into most urban roads in #Germany and espechally #Japan.
Jokes aside, the #Enshittification and #Enfattening of #Cars as well as spread of #CarCentrism #Propaganda from the #USA is a massive issue.
- #Affordable, #accessible and #available #PublicTransport is a non-negotiable necessity even if we don't give a fuck about #ClimateChange simply because at this rate, people will soon be unable to afford anything.
#Greedflation needs to be actively combatted by #regulation and that also means setting the right #incentives...
For example, keeping Public Transport affordable and thus induce demand (See #DeutschlandTicket) is one way.
Another Option is to prioritize #PersonalLightVehicles over #SuperUselessVehicles in terms of #RoadTax, #Parking and #regulation.
The #Netherlands were once almost as #CarCentric as the #USA [ @notjustbikes can propably vouch for that looking into the History, digging up 1960s & 1970s Amsterdam as example.] but they chose to do something about it with the fact that as a #German I can vouch for the fact that the Netherlands have excellent roads and far less traffic due to viable alternatives.
@Pterry @stekopf ja, die #Verfettung von #Autos ist shice.
- Und nein, #Sicherheit ist kein Argument!
Statt #SuperUselessVehicles müssen eher #PersonalLightVehicles gebaut werden!
@pallenberg IMHO fehlt es an #PersonalLightVehicles statt #SuperUselessVehicles und vorallem an #günstig statt #Luxus...
- Ey gibt < €10.000 garnix und unter €20.000 kein #BEV (Noch nichtmals #VerarscheHybrid) außer wir zählen Fahrzeuge wie #OpelRocks & #CitroenAmi welche effektiv 4-rädrige #Kabinenroller (max. 4kW & 45km/h auf Straße/Reifen) sind.
Davon dass es egal welcher Bauart nix unter €12,5k mit #CCS2 Ladebuchse gibt mal ganz abgesehen...
- Dabei bedarf es vorallen einer #Verkehrswende, denn #Antriebswende allein wird nie reichen!
@peterjelinek IMHO verdienen Hersteller die nur #SuperUselessVehicles und keine #PersonalLightVehicles (außer als "#Flottenverbrauch"-#Alibi|s) baun die verdiente #Pleite.
- Wer trotz #Strafzölle nicht was konkurrenzfähiges baun kann sollte vielleicht kein #Autohersteller sein!
@etchedpixels precisely THAT is my gripe.
If #CarManufacturers weren't hell-bent on making #cars +as per EC Vehicle Class M1), hey could easily do #CabinScooters of the #L2e & #L5e class for < €5k retail at dealerships and still make profit.due to #EconomiesOfScale.
- #CitroenAmi & #OpenRocks are kinda halfassed as they are half-baked efforts that work at reducing #FleetEmissions first and foremost!
#WhatsMissing are more #PersonalLightVehicles instead of #SuperUselessVehicles!
1. #eCall ist als Zwangsfeature in allen Fahrzeugen der EG-Fahrzeugklasse M1 seit 2017 verpflichtend.
Abklemmen = Verlust der Zulassung!
Es braucht daher statt #SuperUselessVehicles #PersonalLightVehicles.
2. Meine Tanke nimmt cash selbst wenn ich nur 2l (Mindestabnahme) tanke.
Mit Treibstoff macht keine*r Geld - aber mit absurd hohen Strompreisen von z.T. 94¢/kWh schon eher.
3. #Monero ginge auch, aber @EUCommission & @BaFin hassen das und kriminalisieren anonyme Zahlungsmethoden, also geht nur #Bargeld weil das können die nicht wirklich in gänze verbieten!
Magst vielleicht denken dass sind "falsche Prioritäten" aber ne #NSAfD-Regierung macht diese ganz schnell wichtig!
@mistersixt Mein Problem ist dass #BEV|s signifikant teurer sind, und das ist nicht allein der Technik geschuldet, sondern der Tatsache dass alle Hersteller nur noch "#Crossover" - #Luxus|karren verkaufen und nix bezahlbares mehr...
- Dabei wäre gerade klein und leicht die wissenschaftlich korrekte Herangehensweise
Gerade weil die @EUCommission die #Verfettung der #Autos maßgeblich vorantreibt wären #PersonalLightVehicles abseits der EG-Fahrzeugklasse M1 sinnvoll.
- Weil #Physik ja sagt dass wir mehr Energie brauchen je schwerer das Auto ist.
@GermanZeroHH @verkehrswende ja, #SuperUselessVehicle sind ein Problem!
Die Lösung: (Wenn #ÖPNV, #ÖPFV, #Radinfrastruktur und #WalkableCites keine Option sind!) #PersonalLightVehicles!
@arstechnica it's still an ugly, obcenely obese #SuperUselessVehicle and noone will get the #Tiguan or any #car in #base configuration at #MSRP - at least not in the #USA!
@ai6yr @breadandcircuses and then we get some old (pre-) #Boomers teasing us #Millenials with something halfway cool just to then give us the finger with an absurdly high pricetag of € 111.000 and only 200 available for purchase.
- The #VW #XL1 feels like the #AstonMartin Cygnet but worse…
Instead of #SuerUselessVehicles we need #PersonalLightVehicles, and I know #EcoHipster will hate me for it but a #TataNano or my used #Corsa D 1.0 will habe way less impact on the envoirment than any #CyberTruck because it ain't a fucking #WankPanzer / #IncelCar but I do at leasr try to max efficiency on every trip by asking before going if.I should get something.(on the way back)...
@jeffjarvis What I do want isn't a #car, but for those places and folks where #PublicTranspirt is.just a pipedream, #PersonalLightVehicles and sadly there are few manufacturers outside of #China and #Japan.
@tk personally, I'd rather stick with older cars if not oldtimers if that's what it takes to not have a tracker 24/7 [aka. #eCall] running...
- If I was a #billionaire, I'd basically invest in building #PersonalLightVehicles instead of #SuperUselessVehicles and basically do the "Anti-#CyberTruck" in terms of #design and pricing!
@threetails @gsuberland personally, I want to see some #PersonalLightVehicles instead with like a sleek, tandem cockpit and a THINN body design to get somethibg zippy with a CdA in the ≤0,2 - ≤0,15 area...
