Many people do. And even if they don't, charing a car every day if you don't have a charger at home or office will be very painful. Imagine that you have to tank theICE car every day, even this would have been irritating.

Someone asked that in my company. Answer was: you signed the contract in the past, before the covid, and you were coming to the office, and the commute time was included in the compensation. So there will be no increases. I guess you could

Sure, but again. People are buying it because Dacias are the cheapest, and there is nothing cheaper besides some Chinese brands, which have questionable quality, and are not available on very market. My dad has Sandero. He bought it because

Not completely. Adaptive cruise control is becoming more common. Some Toyota's have it in all versions for some models. Mercedes A class you have to pay additionally for the basic models.

Because it is so great, or because this is the last decent car which is 10k euro, and people cannot afford for example VW Polo?

I have the same if it's too late, or too long. So 15-20 min, max till 3:30pm work for me. Did you try that?

Yeah. That's why working from home is soooo good. How many times in the past there were days I was struggling and feeling sleepy/tired in the office, sitting there, not being productive. Now, when something like this happens, 15 m

I got ASUS ZenScreen MB16AH. Choosing one it's a bit confusing, Asus offers many models, and hard to understand the difference. There are some which have separate display port and power. Different covers. With a battery etc. I really w

When I',m flying to UK I always wonder if there are so many first timers, or people are so ignorant. In Germany I never seen so many people have to open the bags after the scan, and have them re-scanned.

at Munich airport, at one of terminals they have new devices. You have to leave everything inside. Laptop, water etc. You just have to remove items from your pockets, belt. So much faster. My worst experience was in UK, multiple times, at M

Portable screen. Didn't know that such exists, till about few weeks ago. Have a small apartment and sometimes have to work at the dining table. Using a big screen is not an option. Portable screen is light, size of the laptop and charg

Most likely pre tax. In software development range will be probably 70-95k euro, for mid to senior dev in a big city. After all taxes, contributions you are getting around 60% of this. So mentioned 75k, will be 40k net. I live right outside

You are comparing to different segments. Sandero is 36 cm longer, 27 cm wider, 2 cm taller, and has 28L more of the trunk. So the difference will be even bigger. For 20k you get Jogger, which is a wagon, even more space, and it can be a 7-s

Problem is that companies are buying those for tax advantage, and never charge, so CO2 emissions are higher - additional weight of the battery. There was report somewhere, that often such vehicles are never charged.

Using SUVs costs more money, more resources, cars are heavier, tyres bigger, more are resistance, more fuel usage. And number of people buying bigger and bigger cars is growing. Number of people driving really fast is relatively low. I woul

First huge part of the population should learn to use the right and middle lane. I'm not often zooming on the highways, but how many times I overtake cars driving 130 kph in the right lane, where someone is driving in the middle lane 1

Not just that. For huge part of Polish population new EVs will be unaffordable. ICEs got more expensive in the recent year, but that still much lesser than EVs.

> The charging issue and grid use is a massively overblown problem. You only need to charge your car for a few hours every 300 miles. You are joking, right? 300 miles is 482 km. On paper, yes. What about reality? See this CarWow video h

> And they're far cheaper and more available than they are in the US. But they are still very very expensive! In Germany for example: - Kia Niro EV, crosover/mini-suv, 47.590 € (ICE with mild-hybrid 32.590 €) - BMW 3 wagon, ICE

I remember some car tests on YT. I don't think any of VW cars make 400 km. And in winter will be more like 210 km.

I'm fit (2000-4000km distance per yer, multiple sports). But I would never bike to work/train for longer than 5 minutes. I sweat too much (armpits, feet). And taking spare clothes/shoes, and showering in the office is too muc

Why do you assume "dysfunctional"? Flying costs money. Having apartment big enough to accommodate 3 adults plus one or two kids costs money. Family members have to work too. There is no black and white here.
