  • They cannot.

    EU safety rules specifically forbid sharp edges (kudos to the visionary who thought about including that one…).

    Additionally, it’s weight is absolutely ridiculous, to the point that you cannot drive it with a standard B licence (you need at least C1, which requires specific classes and written + driving exams).

    Not to mention, many streets simply cannot accommodate a car so large, and there’s zero parking space for such a monstrosity in most city centers…

    Edit: actually I’m not sure if Iceland included these specific EU rules, so maybe they can actually sell it there?..




  • You’re just hunkering down inside your bubble, while offering nothing to the conversation.

    There’s a BYD stand close to where I work, I was looking at a “Dolphin” that has around 500 miles of range and costs 30k€.

    That’s still twice as what’s in the meme, but they keep getting closer.

    If you have some sort of grudge against China automakers, Dacia has its Spring. It costs about what’s in the meme, but with half the range though.

    It’s not hard to see a future where 350 miles for 15k is a reality, but the market needs competition.








  • I spent way too long today figuring out why my app was doing something that it’s NOT supposed to do on weekends.

    I read Luxon’s docs (pretty cool lib tbh) again and again, and tried everything I could think of to get isWeekend to return a sane result.

    Turns out I was pulling a somewhat older version of Luxon, where isWeekend didn’t exist. In any sane language, I expect I’d get a huge warning about a property that doesn’t exist, but alas…

    Typescript helps me keep my sanity, but juuuuust barely.
