only 20k, 15k with gov help in germany. That’s incredible for a brand new car.

    Looks interesting but they lost me at the speed alarms and camera that’s watching you all the time.

      All that tech that controls me instead of helping me… just … no.

      Where are the open source cars? I would not even mind a car that screams “I’m electric!!” Like this Twingo.

            Shift (an electronics company located in a German town (maybe even village, I don’t know the specifics for sure) might evolve that way. For now they create electrical bikes among many other interesting products and concepts (such as unversal computing, needing only a phone to provide the computing power for a laptop to double as laptop).

            Here’s the bikes they create. (I’m in no way legally affiliated to them) I just encourage what they work on.

      That’s both mandatory in the whole EU and has absolutely nothing to do with that car in particular.

        I think you’re right. The video made it sound like they chose those specific features.

      Many of the warnings and alarms can be turned off with the press of a physical button at the start of your drive. As others mentioned: those are mandatory features.

      You can also turn off the stupid AI assistant.
