Tesla understood that Batteries are expensive so let’s make a fancy car so customer are OK to pay for the batteries main brand either didn’t have an EV or tried to make a cheap electric car, cutting down the autonomy (e.g. the Renault Zoe). Add the whole We’re a progressive company, so we give Tesla rather than diesel mercedes to our executive and Tesla was the main player on the niche market for a decade.

However, as electric car stop being a Niche, every brand has now several electrical models, from a affordable urban one_ to a comfortable and fancy one, If you can afford a Mercedes, Tesla is still an option (but then there is Musk personality not helping) but if you ain’t rich, you can go to Volkswagen or Renault depending on how broke you are

Can we do like Trump does with F35 and brick them if they use them against EU interest. I feel like Erdogan isn’t much better than Putin. Pretty sure he faps on invading Greece and keeping Cyprus

Considering the low wage in French Academia, and the lack of permanent position (Which used to be a benefit offsetting lower wages) I am not sur it’ll attract that much person.

But still a great initiative.

It’s great. However, from the french ministère des armées Link I count 3 types of satellites for a grand total around 8 including two dedicated to satcom. (assuming this is up to date, and that all informations are public) It’s not a bad number of a “medium-sized nation” but unless other European nation have the same capacities it’s definitely not enough to provide 24/7 intelligence to Ukraine
