- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

German car industry slams Brussels summit on combustion engines | dpa international
(dpa-international.com)
And then they want government money because they failed (or were not willing to be to more precise) to adapt.
So they're more like slamming citizens nuts.
And then they want ~~government~~ our money because they failed
Fixed that for you. Let's always call a spade a spade.
No, they don't.
They are begging for strict guide lines to have some security in their planning for years. They are massively upscaling EV production. They stopped CE development years ago with the latest engines developed already on the streets for years. They have invested billions into EV production.
This is pure astroturfing. Fossil fuel producers (with the help of their paid stooges in politics and media) are telling a fairy tale of how car producers fight EVs because the tech/the infrastructure/whatever isn't ready yet... all in the hope enough morons believe it so they can delay the actual development some more.
And given our wonderful new post-factual era and how people are eating up the lie and start ranting about those car producers it seems to be working as usual... If enough people fall for it and falsely believe that there are no proper EVs to chose from (sidenote: a lot of car dealers with repair workshops included are helping to spread that lie) they might be able to delay everythinhg for a few more years, or so they believe.
(For reference: here's an article about all the new models presented on this year's IAA and completely unsurprisingly there is exactly one CE/hybrid in the whole list... the latest Renault Clio iteration.)
No, they don’t.
Are you sure? Genuine question. This is talking about "car industry" and while I agree with you that the manufacturers have been emphasising the need for clear guidelines for security in planning, I also think that the attached automotive supplier ecosystem we currently have in Germany would have difficulties to continue in this scale in a fully EV-converted automotive industry. So someone like Söder wants ICEs back in order for the industry to continue as always.
E, for clarification: ..which is doomed to fail, obviously
Telegraph lobby rages against telephonication.
Can’t decide if 2035 end of commodity access to personal transportation is good or bad.
Probably bad for 80% people currently alive, marginally better at best for future generations…?
end of commodity access to personal transportation
Lmao. But fits in nicely between 5G nanochips in the vaccine and The Great Replacement.
