Are you sure about that? The F150 is legal in Europe and with it's increased height of the front compared to the Cybertruck it will make just as much mush of any pedestrain as the Cybertruck I imagine. I have seen lots of people say this but I haven't actually seen anyone refer to any legal...

I might add that normal car license is just class B. That is a maximum of 3500kg for vehicle including load. That is a European standard, you need class C1 intended for heavy trucks with Gross weight upto 7500kg to be able to drive this Silverado in Europe. The cost of taking the C1 license is...

What I find very strange about the attack in Moscow is how it was accomplished. Assuming for the sake of argument it is ISIS, how did they manage to pull this off. Moscow got the be one of the most survaelled (spelling?) cities in the world. With the entire security appartus of the Russian state...

I'm guessing hitting refineries also gives a more immediate effect. My guess is the storage of finished petrolium products isn't very extensive and if it would have been that makes for excellent drone targets. Hence hitting refineries and a lot of them pretty soon means people can't buy gasoline...

I might add that Lucid has a biggish store on our Karl Johan street the one bookended by the Central Station and the Royal Palace, so very expensive. And they sold 5 Lucids last year in Norway, EV nirvana. That’s less than Ferrari. So even though they are announcing the RWD Air now under 1...

Well Model Y was 19% of the total Norwegian car market. January sales in 2024 was about 60% of 2022 so sales of any car is down a lot. Number 2 car in January was the new improved Hyundai Kona with 282 sales, while #3 was Leaf at 263. EVs are in January at 92% while Tesla has a market share of...

Adiggs: I think the mail issue is an American attitude where Postal system is federal and not state run. It essentially has an elevated status compared to most Nordic countries. Most everything at least in Norway is handled electronically now and even for Oslo the capital we only get mail 3...

Depending on how you read the source, they are asked to be prepared to supply for 10000 cars a week in mid 2025. That sounds like production starts late 2024, and ramp picks up speed in middle 2025. Though that might be my rose coloured glasses.

Not disagreeing with that, but its the same for all cars. And generally there’s a lot of up first, as the test starts at more or less at sea level. And seeing who gets furthest is comparable and in regards to the cars rated range. So clearly better than tests that do 2-4 cars on each test with...

This is why the El Prix tests NAF does actually makes sense. Driving around 30 EVs in a convoy so experiencing the same weather and conditions and at the same time. I or some other Norwegian has typically linked to it when it comes out. The speeds are lower than 70, at most 65 and at the end...

Yeah I see I was unprecise. Yes as you mention sympathy actions seems to be legal in Norway. But the issue with Hydro Extrusions in Vetlanda would be extremely unusual (and propably illegal), because that is a sympathy strike against Tesla Germany/Tesla Inc not against Tesla Sweden which is the...

I can only speak for Norway, not the other two. But I guess because it's not allowed. In Norway sympathy strikes are very unusual and may only affect the original party - hence Tesla Sweden. So as mentioned earlier Norwegian dockworkers will not allow Tesla Sweden to avoid the strike in Sweden...

I'm quoting Motor not saying what I think, just to clarify. They mentioned stiffness, but many Teslas have issues with the plastic on mostly the rear clusters cracking up and allowing moisture/rain to enter. Tesla Norway has not generally accepted that as a warranty issue, instead claimed...

Another update from Norway I haven't seen anyone else report on NAF's 2023 competition for the years best car purchase. What they before called car of the year. This is done by their magazine called Motor, which some of you know from their massive range tests they do every summer and winter...
