  1. Whose responsible? Really? This is a question? Everyone knows who is responsible by the effects on the war, except of course for the Russian trolls, and even they know but are payed to pretend otherwise.

  2. And the biggest problem for China is huge numbers of old people and very few youth to support them.

  3. And for all those sales persons who have had to deal with something like selling a car to a traditional Indian couple, I must say, you have my deepest sympathy.

  4. What's with the 27/25 year age for the draft? The world armies are peopled by teens eighteen and up. My dad volunteered at 17 out of high school to fight in WW2, I was in the Vietnam draft at 18. Yet the Ukrainians use senior citizens and middle age men in their army. Just seems dumb.

  5. Interesting that you relate it to the appearance of Gingrich. Citizens United is like the tip of the iceberg. All holier than thou wing-nuts whose personal lives are a cesspool of deceit and conceit. Not to mention a psychological shambles. And in classic form, they project their own decrepit souls onto "the other" and get followers and donations form other crypto-sociopaths because of it.

  6. Consumer Reports gets major funding from the Ford Foundation. Are you people really so full of hate for the most benign and moral major corporation on the planet? Tesla also just got several awards for being vehicle of the year. It is also the safest car of any type in a collision. It also has the highest owner satisfaction by a mile. I could go on and on, and you have to pick though slanted reports by biased media (a all media that depends on advertising revenue hates Tesla because they do not need to advertise -- fool) And in Consumer Reports, they are highly influenced by the Ford money.

  8. Tesla is not in the fashion industry -- nitwit. Of all the major automakers Tesla is the most obsessed with engineering and forms follows function, unlike the fashion statements of Mercedes and its ilk. The German EVs are a decade behind and falling further behind each month.

  10. Performance is similar -- only if you are willing to pay 30k more for a car with similar stats. Don't know what planet you are living on, but it obviously doesn't get much news. Next year Tesla will be casting the entire underbody of their cars in one piece and the battery tray will be a structual component of the chassis. Also they will be selling a pickup with an exoskeleton instead of a chassis. Advances that the other companies never even dreamed of.

  11. So now you have proven to everyone that you know nothing about what is happening and what is going to happen.

  12. Hybrid vehicles will be around but not because they are an advancement. They are more complicated and subject to mechanical problems than either ICE or EV. They take the Rube Goldberg whirligig that is the ICE engine and make it even more complicated and subject to problems, while the obvious direction is the simplicity of EV with three moving parts per engine as opposed to ICE 1500 moving parts or hybrid 1500 plus, and hybrid owners almost always only use the gas engine. The most meaningful major advancement in the developing world would be in the cities and the best thing in the cities would be for the millions of scooter drivers to switch to EV scooters with batter swap tech.

  13. More precisely: VW loves the CCP. Birds of a feather cheat together. Especially when they are outperformed in every metric by a company with a real desire to benefit humanity as a whole.

  16.  Linux user  Pure FUD, been debunked years ago by real science. And by the way the batteries are more than 90% recyclable. You are way behind the times, quoting ten year old concerns that were not true even then. Here is the most important thing for you to understand, because without understanding it, you fall prey to all kinds of partisan disinformation from unions and autodealership associations, and big oil, but mostly from commercial media. Who feels Tesla is stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from them for not paying the ad vig like all the other OEMs have to. Tesla does not advertise. Therefor when one Tesla catches fire when some drunk drives it into a tree at 90mph it is in the news for weeks, on an hourly basis, while the the 350 deaths every year from the 185,000 gas cars that catch fire in the USA, gets no mention anywhere ever. Duped you are.

  18.  @smokeemifyagotem8851  Since it was primarily Arabs who planned and flew the planes and no retaliation against Saudi Arabia ever took place I would say you have no idea what you are talking about. The USA did exactly the same thing in the second war on Iraq as the Russian are now doing in Ukraine. They made up reasons to destroy a country that had in no way attacked them.

  19. The "Killer App" for VR headsets, including this one is PC games. I hope you can use this headset with a PC if it is really good, because Apple can't do games like Nividia, or AMD dedicated video cards on a PC and none of the good games run on Apple. Plus Apple charges 30% more than you can build an comparable PC for and why would you even want a comparable PC if you can build one that just kicks the S out of Apple on games and other high intensity video apps?

  20. The actual workers at the plant like Tesla and working there.

  21. I take it that Germany, despite what went on in Eastern Germany under the Soviets, is submitting to Russia purely out of unenlightened self-interest.

  22. Total FUD, it's not as if it's company policy. There may have been some racist remarks that were not addressed by some employees to some contractor, but you have to understand the mindset in California, and the clearly opportunistic mindset that can turn a few insults into a couple of hundred million dollars. Jump on the sue Tesla for nothing bandwagon. The payoffs could be monumental. Anyone who even brings up this travesty of justice as a criticism of Tesla is suspect. Just slanted bull. There are Tesla haters, all over the place. I know a few of them. They are like Trump cultists or sometimes like woke puddin' heads who not only can't see the forest for the trees, they are so myopic neurally they can't see the trees for the bark.

  23.  @julianshepherd2038  With the exception of low cost vehicles that would not be legal elsewhere for safety concerns, Tesla is the best selling EV in China. They are not even close to the tech that Tesla can bring. But it is the only chance that companies like GM and Volvo have to compete at all is to have Chinese companies produce EVs for them. But they are not Teslas. People who get to know Tesla engineering, or own one of their cars, sooner or later realize that they are a different generation of EV compared to all others. It's like comparing an F14 Tomcat to an F22 Raptor. They are both great planes, but there really is no fair comparison.

  24. Why screw around? Give Ukraine tactical nukes, sensor fuzed ant-iarmor cluster munitions, and thermobaric warheads. They should have never surrendered their nuclear arms to Russia.

  25. Ask the Tibetans how fine the Chinese model is. The Chinese economy is doomed because of the demographic cliff that it is facing and which was entirely caused by the generation of insane policies by the system you extol. The Chinese have entirely lost sight of the fact that without western investment and intellectual property they would still be eating the bark off of trees as occurred periodically before they opened up to western investment and the use of capitalism. China is dependent upon the theft of intellectual property both for economic development and especially for it's defense industry. If you don't know that you are a brainwashed fool. And FYI "good by" does not mean "goodbye".

  26. Tesla did borrow some federal money early on in it's development. It payed it all back, with interest before it was due. And I believe it payed a penalty in addition for early repayment. You know nothing and either know your are lying or are a complete dupe. Elon Musk has personally paid more US taxes than any other person in history ever has. He has paid over a million and a half dollars in taxes for every day he has been a US citizen -- get some actual facts -- fool -- because your facts are like the facts of a Trump supporter, alternative facts, -- lies.

  32. ​ @tibsyy895  Old tropes. The Teslas coming out of Germany will offer the highest precision of any mass produced car on earth. If you actually followed the owners who talk about their own Teslas, you would know that you are the victim of the media FUD, union hit jobs, and the unimaginable hate and resistance of traditional OEMs and especially dealerships that will lie and build up any minor negative about Tesla to attempt to sabotage a superior product in the weak minded. You basically have no real idea what you are talking about. Tesla is a generation of engineering beyond any other EV manufacturer, and that is a fact. Tesla does not need to advertise to sell every car they make at a profit beyond all other major OEMs. Their customers sell them for them. Tesla customers frequently say that their Tesla is their absolute favorite possession, and that they are continually thrilled by the fact that it is often improved OTA on a weekly basis. People like you have been predicting the fall of Tesla since the beginning. The facts on the ground could not be more out of line with the FUD you have picked up from the media. Tesla does not give free cars to auto magazine staff, or all expense paid junkets to visit a resort and see the new, fill in the blank, which are special magazine cars specially built by hand to get reviews. This is knowm -- child. Or maybe you depend on the financial or auto press or broadcasters whose sole raison d'etre is to sell advertising space or time. And Tesla will not pay the hundreds of millions that they get from all other OEMs. You figure it out. If your are capable.

  33. I think the idea that advanced chips could be kept out of Russian hands is a faulty conjecture.

  34. It should have been build somewhere in Europe with less corruption and inane outdated rules. They would have been supplying Eruope with the best EVs in the world, even better than the Chinese and American cars of the same model, for 10 months already, would have cut the wait time for buyers and made the gas prices lower in the face of Russian aggression,

  38.  @johnsane2694  Thanks for the info. I have been waiting patiently for a Really good VR headset with the trimmings, like a 360degree treadmill, good steering wheel, real joystick etc. I don't care if it costs a few grand, if it can do what I want, and the paramount app is gaming, then maybe digital sports like racing, then maybe movies in 8k. This thing is obviously not something you would wear on the street like AR glasses. Tech anticipations sucks, I was born sixty years too early, but then again I did get to go to Woodstock when I was seventeen and the whole free love and hippy vibe of the sixties was actually better than the internet and cell phones and all the "great stuff" we have now.

  39. The most significant weapons in the war: On the Russian side the Krasnopol and Krasnopol M guided artillery shells with a max range of about 12 miles and a hit rate on specific targets of about 80%. The Russian also have a rocket propelled guided artillery round thought to be the equal or better in range of the American rocket propelled guided Excalibur shell. The Americdan Excalibur is devastatingly accurate and can be used by existing M109A7 Paladin self-propelled howitzers which can send Excalibur rounds to 39.3 kilometers (24.4 miles), which ERCA an extended barrel length howitzer can now lob to 43 miles. Their is a German/South African gun that reportedly can do a little better. The Canadians recently supplied Ukraine with both the Excalibur rounds and the Dutch gave a small number of self-propelled howitzers that can use it. It can also be used by the towed guns recently supplied by the USA and Canada. The use and efficiency of these shells in an anti-artillery role by the competing Russian and recently supplied American radar controlled systems that can target and fire on artillery units within seconds of their use may be the knife edge upon which the entire war is determined, baring the deployment of western air power, in Ukraine. To me the most exciting development in this field is that Norway's Nammo has unveiled a potentially revolutionary concept for an air-breathing, ramjet-powered, pseudo-missile that any standard 155mm howitzer can fire at targets more than 60 miles away. A truly great time for Norway, and Nammo to supply the 155s with a shell that can reach out and touch Russian artillery with little or no exposure other than to air to ground or guide missile fire. To have Russia exchange expensive guided missiles for common artillery with uncommon munitions, is not such a bad exchange in a scenario in which missile production is dependent upon western tech they no longer have access to.

  40.  @tribalypredisposed  Good post. I would guestimate Teslas 22 sales as 1.9 million cars this year.
    2
  41.  @tribalypredisposed  Sure, it's just a guess. Anything can happen in the coming year no matter how illogical, as Putin is proving right now. Electric Viking estimates 1.8. Solving the Money Problem is higher. California is supposedly ramping their production up too, and perhaps most importantly China is expanding perhaps doubling its factory. It's still not too late for anyone to get in on the prosperity that Tesla has brought to so many investors (except for the short players lol) There is so much potential upside to having a visionary who is actually capable of making his vision happen. FSD if it should ever really happen, and for a few reasons I am not entirely convinced of that, will transform transportation on a fundamental level. A profound transformation that few truly understand the significance of. And as for the teslabot, well, seems like fantasy to most right now, but they better take up a hobby because everyone may have a lot of affluent free time, like it or not.

  42. By the time the Chinese and German OEMs catch up to were Tesla is today, Tesla will be solid gone, and further ahead than ever.

  44.  @daremasterco7321  Finally someone who realizes the situation.

  50. You're right, they should turn off the pipelines and restart their decommissioned nuclear plants, and all drive EVs. But the Germans are just blind in some respects and nuclear power is one area where they have been so brainwashed by the activists that it has become a strategic deficit.

  55. Kind of silly since the number one EV manufacturer by far in both China and Europe is Tesla, and they produce cars in both China and Germany. The uninformed and intentionally misinforming media pretends like there is some kind of race going on, while the fact is that there is only a race for "also ran". Tesla is so far ahead of any other EV manufacturer that any meaningful comparison can only be made between Tesla and cars that cost twice as much as a Tesla and Tesla is still the better product. The news media seems to think that other companies are "catching up" to Tesla, but the truth is that minute by minute Tesla is pulling further ahead, and reducing prices at the same time. German auto, with the exception of German Tesla has dug its own grave, Chinese EV with the slight exception of BYD, like the American (with the exception of American Tesla, have yet to produce an EV without losing tens of thousands of dollars on each unit, and BYD who is really only a contender in China, is claimed by the media to be the biggest EV producer in China, while the fact is that this is only true is you count hybrid gas vehicle, Tesla produces the most, best, and only meaningfully profitable EVs in China, Europe, and America, and the reason has nothing to do with the reports by the media, which lives or dies on ad revenues, and Tesla does not advertise. The reason they are number one in spite of the disinformation given out everyday by the media, is because when all things are considered Tesla offers value far exceeding that of all other EV manufacturers and a place to actually charge them without anxiety.

  58. A bully corners a skinny little kid and starts to hit him. The bullies friend holds a gun on the skinny kid and tells him that if he strikes back he will be shot. Remind you of anything? Ukraine should start launching long range drones against Russia. The same as Russia is against the civilian Ukrainians. Launch hundreds of drones against Russian civilians and government, and infrastructure -- wake their hypnotized populations out of their insane dreams. Bullies will persist until you smack them in the face and they run home to their mommies.

  60.  @343ramana  There are now far stronger forces on Russia's borders than there was before Russia invaded a free country that posed no threat to Russia, outside of that incited by Russian subtrafuge and aggression. Russians always, always, accuse their enemies of doing what they themselves are really doing. Sometimes we even wonder if like some addled old uncle they are totally unaware of their compulsive projection of their own barbarism onto others. Whether it is one way or another, their psychopathic and paranoia motivated murderous actions make it a moot point.

  71. I can tell you what China would do if its situation and that of the USA were reversed regarding Taiwan. They would get another country such as Israel to send scientist to Taiwan to transfer the tech of nuclear weapons to Taiwan.

  72. I respected DW news until now. The real facts: nobody is catching up, in fact Tesla is pulling further ahead. Also the main stream media reporting on Tesla's safety is total nonsense. Tesla is the safest auto that you can buy and it has been proven. No one is catching Tesla especially not VW whose auto is inferior to Tesla in almost every way.

  73. @G M If you ignore all the crash tests, and real evidence, then what you say is almost true. Teslas are the safest cars presently availiable and the tests prove it. Unlike your hyperbolic nonsense, they are based in reality. Too bad if you shorted Tesla and lost your shirt, you deserve it.

  79. Incorrect on every count. The new Tesla model 3 performance weighs about the same as a BMW m3 and less than the equivalent Mercedes. You can fix the battery packs einstein, but they typically last longer than the rest of the car so why? Million mile batteries are now being produced. Most Tesla weigh less than EVs produced by the traditional OEMs and that unlike your points is a fact.

  90.  Rico Thampaty  You obviously do not realize that the Excalibur can out distance all Russian artillery. So it doesn't matter what the Russian artillery does. Russia would have to use guided missiles and they are almost out of them. Even better would be if Norway gave some Nammo ramjet guided munitions, they have a range twice that of any Russian Artillery. One shot one kill is far superior to spray and pray. And if you haven't noticed after the 777s fire they move, and the Russians cannot respond fast enough even if they could reach them.

  91. It's surprising that anyone with a conscience would even consider buying a VW after it became so clear what a bunch of cheating lying gangsters run it.

  94. You only manage to leave out the number one cause of green house gases. That would be the totality of animal agriculture, including the forests that were cut down to provide pasturage, and food for the animals, which comprises more than thirty percent of all crops. If the forests alone were somehow magically restored to the time of the early 1900 all other sources of greenhouse gas would be without meaningful consequence. So basically, no matter what you know, or do, if you are not a vegan, you are part of the main problem.

Elon Musk, who is suppossed to be histories wealthiest man, has claimed that Putin is much richer than he is himself, and I believe this to be true. My question is how much of Putin's obscurated personal wealth is invested in US and NATO defense industries? I have heard rumors that it is quite a bit. But would even Putin engage in war to stimulate profits in the defense industries of his enemies to increase his personal wealth? Now that would be a real judo move.

Turn the nuclear generating plants back on, get rid of ICE vehicles and transition to green, do what ever you can, but stop financing the Russian military with oil payments. Every member of NATO should help Germany and other countries dependent on Russian gas and oil to transition to energy independence, and eventually an entirely green renewable power system.

  109. Don't worry it's only a routine exercise, inside its own borders.

  110. And Germany continues to finance the war by buying Russian gas and oil, while decommissioned nuclear plants sit idle. These pipelines must be destroyed, all of them, then Russia will collapse like the rotten house of cards it is. And Europe will adapt, and get it's nuclear capacity back on line and transition to EVs even faster than it is, make the electrical grid truly European, and have a brighter future despite some mid term hardships. But most importantly they will no longer be under the thumb of an obviously insane regime, and an imperialistic, alcoholic, reptilian brained population that hold dreams of a past that never existed.

  113. The most significant weapons in the war: On the Russian side the Krasnopol and Krasnopol M guided artillery shells with a max range of about 12 miles and a hit rate on specific targets of about 80%. The Russian also have a rocket propelled guided artillery round thought to be the equal or better in range of the American rocket propelled guided Excalibur shell. The Americdan Excalibur is devastatingly accurate and can be used by existing M109A7 Paladin self-propelled howitzers which can send Excalibur rounds to 39.3 kilometers (24.4 miles), which ERCA an extended barrel length howitzer can now lob to 43 miles. Their is a German/South African gun that reportedly can do a little better. The Canadians recently supplied Ukraine with both the Excalibur rounds and the Dutch gave a small number of self-propelled howitzers that can use it. It can also be used by the towed guns recently supplied by the USA and Canada. The use and efficiency of these shells in an anti-artillery role by the competing Russian and recently supplied American radar controlled systems that can target and fire on artillery units within seconds of their use may be the knife edge upon which the entire war is determined, baring the deployment of western air power, in Ukraine. To me the most exciting development in this field is that Norway's Nammo has unveiled a potentially revolutionary concept for an air-breathing, ramjet-powered, pseudo-missile that any standard 155mm howitzer can fire at targets more than 60 miles away. A truly great time for Norway, and Nammo to supply the 155s with a shell that can reach out and touch Russian artillery with little or no exposure other than to air to ground or guide missile fire. To have Russia exchange expensive guided missiles for common artillery with uncommon munitions, is not such a bad exchange in a scenario in which missile production is dependent upon western tech they no longer have access to..

  117. Well it makes more sense than protesting Tesla which has done more to mitigate climate change than any other organization with the possible exception of China. Maybe they will start to burn planes instead of burning the most efficient EVs on the planet.

  118.  @lukehallatt394  More like 40k a day. That rate is wearing out barrels faster than they can be replaced. Western weapons have more range than Russian and are much more accurate. One rocket propelled excalibur shell can do what twenty dumb outdated Russian shells often cannot. Russia is unable to replace its high tech missiles. But the main thing is that Russia is at the edge of a cliff of demographic collapse. Everyone with any potential who was able to, has fled Russia, It is not able to produce enough people to continue on the level it has been, It has massive drug addiction, way higher than the west or the USA and alcohol problems, rampant AIDs and one out of every four Russians has a antibiotic resitant form of TB. Russia has basically no future, that's why it is making it's move now, before it just collapses. And at the same time, Putin is the world richest man. He holds his wealth via third party insiders who he holds the power of life and death over. This wealth is hidden in dummy corporations set up by German lawyers in Panama, and most of it is invested in American corporations, many of them in the defense industry. So when Putin attacks a country that responds with American weapons, it is a very good financial move for him personally. And the cancellations of Russian built armaments just keep slipping in. Basically if you see Russia accusing another country of some inhumane or bellicose act it is a sure sign that they do it themselves and the accused does not. They have been playing the same tune since the revolution, and anyone with any sense and potential should get out if they can.

  122. Maybe you should recommission your nuclear power-plants until you achieve green energy independence, and let Tesla build some energy efficient Electronic Vehicles in the most advanced manufacturing facility on the planet. Since they did build it with the intention of decoupling much energy usage from the very people that have Germany under its thumb. Duhhh.

  125. Yes, and the science says that EVs are far less harmful over their life of use than an ICE car. It has been proven time and time again. You need to get you head out of computer games and look it up big boss.

  130.  @rodmarker2071  You need to get up to speed on your "facts". Those fields of cars are off lease hybrids and ICE that have been discontinued. Batteries do not explode, gas tanks explode, when the fumes ignite. Some batteries do catch fire, but far far fewer than gas fires in ICE. We have the statistic on this and evidently all you have is media lies.
