Comment Re:Not Surprised. (Score 1) 297

Until battery technology improves radically, that's not going to happen. The energy density of batteries is pretty bad compared to gasoline and you still need a LARGE and HEAVY battery pack to get the sort of range and functionality people want.

Now, you COULD make a small and light roadster with a very short range... say less than 100 miles... but nobody will buy it because of the range. It's a catch-22. With current tech it would have to be an incredibly niche product, and niche products aren't cheap.

I think the closest I see on the horizon right now is the Polestar 6, but that's not going to be anywhere close to cheap... try 911 turbo territory.

Comment Over extended on govt bonds (Score 2) 233

What a load of nonsense is being posted here. They were too deep with long term government bonds and when interest rates went up, they struggled to cover their position and had to start borrowing more than they could cope with. All this is explained on any finance site.

What is wasn't was being woke or WfH.

Comment Is it that different? (Score 1) 62

Modern highly manoeverable fighters aren't directly human flyable and haven't been for years. They're built highly unstable with the pilot's stick instructions being translated into thousand of micro adjustments per second by the onboard control systems. A human is unable to fly them without this assist.
