The German Car Industry Is Dying - And Cars Like This Audi Q4 E-Tron Are The Reason Why

Als Antwort auf Kevin Karhan • • •Cars themselves are enshittification.
Cities built around them are cities built around wealth extraction by big box stores by big corporations.
The money poured into the infrastructure in the urban layout of a car centric design is wealth extraction.
Big box stores in the big car infrastructure that they are embedded in extra extract more wealth from the community than it ever generates. And big box stores destroy small business they destroy mom & pop and small and medium companies

GhostOnTheHalfShell
Als Antwort auf Kevin Karhan • • •The argument goes far beyond just a failure of public transportation. It goes to the heart of wealth inequality.
The car, centric urban design is a design of exploitation of wealth extraction. When the cost of a car centric design is audited, cities lose money to big box stores and two all the infrastructure spent on cars.
Residents, small businesses subsidize this wealth extraction. Communities finance their own subjugation with a car centric design. It is that bad.

Als Antwort auf Kevin Karhan • • •There currently aren't any electric cars on the market that do the job. Cargo bikes, yes, but cars are all surveillance nightmares. Not advocateing for Swasticars.
Only core point: Compromise on charging time. It's fine to wait 30 min every 250 km, especially as parking spots with low ampere chargers become more common.
Will need new models. Me, I want one that is electric and cybernetic, but NOT electronic.
However using gasoline is NOT the answer.
Kevin Karhan
Als Antwort auf Karl Heinz Häsliprinz • • •That's why I said used as well.
#BEV|s ain't the answer - #PublicTransport is!
As for small EVs: If it doesn't have a #CCS2 connector and I can't charge it full in 30min from 0 it's not practical and I'm pretty shure every charging station will throw me out if it takes several hours to recharge.

Maybe micro cars are an option for you. They aren't connected to the internet usually.
But if you have a car that works for you, why not keep it?

Als Antwort auf Tobias Denkinger • • •I will keep it simply because I can't really afford a new one and because it's already there and works fine!
As for smaller vehicles I do propose that for the (hopefully fewer and fewer) edge-cases where #PublicTransport just won't cut it, that we go #smol as in #PersonalLightVehicle and thus more #efficient!

Me, I love my ebike, able bodied as I am, that is all I really need. Once tried the citroen space tourer as a utility vehicle, if I actually needed one that would be decent, the new Kia utility vehicle also seems to cut it (not in terms of privacy though - probably would have to just cut out the internet connection for that)..

Als Antwort auf Karl Heinz Häsliprinz • • •@KarlHeinzHasliP @denki Personally, I think that standardized #batteries that get swapped would've been the solution to the charging speed problem.
#BEV|s are a problem and the #EnergyDensity and #Charging problems are hard walls that can only be circumvented (i.e. swapping fluids at a #RedoxFlow-#Battery) or ignored (i.e. #Methanol #FuelCell)...
Solving the #EnergyProblem isn't a technological issue, but a political one (see #DESERTEC)...

Als Antwort auf Kevin Karhan • • •@KarlHeinzHasliP @denki and whilst cobustion is unsexy, we can all agree that a Trabant 601 or a Simson S51 have a lower envoirmental impact than a #Swasticar or electric #SUV simply because less deadweight needs to get moved around.

Cities and towns should be entirely car free, yes. Have large parking lots at connection points at the outskirts and proper low speed traffic solutions of all kinds like skateboards, trolley busses and twikes inside.
On the country site, charging speed is a problem only in a society that has its priorities off.
Also, most people barely ever need inter-trip charging, as overnight charging at the regular parking spot with regular voltage should be enough juice for 98% of days unless you are a professional long distance driver...
Make charging places nice and connected, so you can just sip a drink and do online stuff while your vehicle charges. Even for long distance driving (shouldn't really be a thing honestly, as night trains exist) - half an hour break every 250 km is totally fine and probably for the better in terms of driver concentration and safety.
Lithium and Cobalt - as bad as they are - are nowhere near as bad as oil. Not sure how to best stop Co

OFC the even better thing would be to avoid drives as much as possible and install #FTTH / #Fiber into every home and let as many people work remotely as they can.
Not to mention the economies of scale that a (i.e. PICNIC) #Minitruck delivering food to dozens if not a hundred households in a single shift has compared to cars.
As for #ConflictMinerals, just reducing overall consumption if we cannot use them is the way to go.

There is a Swiss legal requirement that you can leave any place in the country in the morning and reach any other place by night by public transport and I love it... But then, I also want intercontinental public transport... one can dream of belts and roads for people, not containers.

Als Antwort auf Kevin Karhan • • •The niche that would justify the cost of battery swapping is too small to have affordable cars with that technology. Having to stop for 20 to 30 minutes every 300km is just not that big of an inconvenience for the majority of people.
Cobalt and Lithium should be avoided in the future. Cobalt is already being phased out for "low"-cost cars. And let's not forget that fossil fuels are also conflict resources.

Most of the time I don't have to pay anything to charge my EV, and it doesn't matter how long it takes to charge, because it's sitting in my garage. I actually love not needing to burn fossil fuels or put toxic fumes into the air to go places.

Having a 24/7 uptime guarantee where a replacement is installed with the dirty dishes transferred neatly to the new unit before the cycle completes in the event of a detected failure for a leased unit with a flat rate including all instant repairs.
In any other case I would much rather own the unit and have it be low maintenance with user (or competent neighbour if I am too lazy) replaceable wearing parts.
