My ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 works absolutely fine. I get about 10 hours of battery life out of it. You can get it with Fedora preinstalled. In my experience, ThinkPads generally work fine.

I would think the most valuable part of tesla is the network of loading stations that the own. At least in the US. In Europe the EU is setting a standard which is good for competition, but maybe less good for innovation.

It's about fiscal policy. The EU has no unified fiscal policy. It can't raise taxes for transfers from north to south. Almost every economist said in 98 that the euro is a bad idea. And it is for the south of Europe. It's gre
