Dude....

Norway is incredibly sparsely populated and has an adoption rate of 80%+. We also have stupid cold winters, loads of fucking mountains and require AC in summer.
I've driven through Europe twice with no more than 2 minutes of planning in an app.

Your comment makes me think you have no experience with EV's at all and are spreding false claims.

There are literally two scenarios where an EV is not better than ICE (if purchased new today).

One is for people frequently traveling far beyond the cars range and the other is for people without access to AC charging at all.

And no, I'm not a EV lover/gasoline hater. I ride a motorcycle powered by dinosaur juice too. I just like having 400+ BHP and 700 Nm of torque in a car priced like a Toyota Avensis, and a full tank every single time I leave my driveway with said full tank costing me <$5.

You should want that too unless you belong to one of the two exeption groups above.

Video flagged, sadly.

Wanted to see more rubles blowing up.

Quiet and peaceful.

If I could be rich but nobody knew, then sure.

Not into flashy things anyways

Poor wording on my part.

It still functions, but I don’t get push notification when it detects motion or someone rings the bell while I’m out. I will see the recording once I’m on my local network again.

Not exactly what you asked for, but I went with Eufy with local storage. There is a home base so everything is stored here and not in the cloud. Costs a bit more but gives me peace of mind.

Downside is that it won’t work if my internet or power is out, but that happens once a year, max.

For door I’d go with Yale with the hub to lock and unlock remotely.
Don’t know of a combined solution, sadly.

Nice! I'll let her know!

Yeah my Mum has it and has to have her shirt tucked in her pants as the buttons often contain nickel.
Like you say she gets a red round rash if she forgets.

Dead last: Sweden

I’d like to kick them out of Scandinavia and welcome the Finns instead. They can stay Nordic though. Pretty sure Denmark would support it.

Seriously though, I think we’re all great. We’re just the best…

I’d honestly go with a older Leaf, unless you plan on lots of rapid charging.
They suck at it in hot/cold places as it doesn’t have active cooling/heating of the pack, but that’s not relevant for you if you charge at work.
It also has Chademo which at least in Europe is less common than CCS.

Otherwise it’s a cracking thing with surprisingly good room and known to last.

Yep set up a new mesh system last year.
At the same time; everything requiring proper speed is hard wired so I can't say it has made a massive difference from 802.11AC. It was already more than enough for gaming/streaming.

I'd argue more towards getting functionality out of a AX router than the AX in itself, tbh...

Luckily no, not all do.

We specifically chose a car with normal handles because ice/snow is a bitch with the motorized/flush ones

[–] Bronzie 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah I agree, would be nice if the sold packs were as easy to replace as the leased ones are, but I doubt it.

I hope other makers come with a similar solution in the future. Being such a vital part and known to slowly degrade it should be easier to replace.
