Most Eastern European nations agreed on the first month of the war - Ukraine needs long-range weapons.
Russia must be stopped.
Visually yes, but technology still vastly mogs all but zeekr maybe.
But that doesn’t matter - most people seem to buy cars entirely by how it looks.
Good luck making it apolitical
I was recently back to Europe and it’s basically comedy (tragedy to be precise) how bureaucratic the whole system is.
It is going to be truly amazing for a lot of small communities around the world. I don't want to deny this game changing technology at all.
But given how much of us westerners are beginning to loathe screens and internet (or social media for no good reason), I wonder how this "lets connect everyone" movement changes?
p.s. the biggest sleeper is that v3 finally enables mass direct-to-cell feature. "Villagers" won't need special terminal anymore - even the cheapest android smartphone will be able to get online. There's even been a quiet campaign on X to enable direct-to-cell capability in Iran during protests, so imagine what sort of societal changes this can pull off.
1000000 mbps / 50 mbps per Starlink customer * 80$ per month * 12 months * 26 satellites = $500M revenue per year added per launch.
There's plenty of cars in Europe and in some sense traffic is worse there than here in NZ.
Let's not pretend they gone extinct there and everything is fine and dandy just because you walked everywhere for a week while visiting some old town.
You’d need about 135 kwh total energy at 15kwh/100km efficiency. Assuming you leave with full battery - thats about 60kwh or a bit over an hour of charge at 50kw.
Much harder to keep them entertained them at home lol.
You can buy special car seats that can fit 3 across even in the smallest cars of Europe.
IDK what apps do you even mean as the car can unlocked and controlled by simple public key exchange. Internet connectivity is optional.
Sure there are other issues with getting there, cooling, radiation. But for cost of power prices - space has huge advantage.
Also seems a lot of people on far left seem agree we shouldn’t be building them which yields extra support for SpaceX.
Cancelling people for merely trying to open conversation (mind these aren't some extreme ideas either) is just fucked up thing to do.
